The bob is an iconic hairstyle that becomes fashionable every few years. It’s currently the “it” hairstyle of 2024, and while it may seem low-maintenance, getting that effortless look can actually take a lot of work. Here are some styling tools that will help your bob look its best!

Ways to Add Volume

If you have fine hair, then it’s all about adding volume. This can be done by starting at the root, says stylist to the stars, George Northwood. You need a medium round brush, a hair dryer with a large nozzle attachment, and patience. Start by towel drying your hair until it is mostly dry and then use the round brush and hair dryer to lift the roots up and away from your head.

Before doing all of this, though, it’s important to prep your hair. Look for a volumizing product, often in the form of a spray, to both protect your hair from the heat of the hair dryer and add hold.

Using a Diffuser or Flat Iron

If you don’t want a sleek look and love the look of Gigi Hadid’s playful hairstyle, first put some wave spray in it. Then, to achieve the air-dried look, just use a diffuser attachment and start to gently scrunch your hair. If you do not have the time to wash your hair, just dampen your hair and use the same method.

For people who have frizzy or thicker hair and want a smooth look, use the method that involves a round brush and a large nozzle attachment. Once it’s dry, take a flat iron and go over the strands to smooth them down and get that sleek look. Flip the flat iron under towards the end of each strand to round it off and prevent harsh lines.
