how to style a short bob

BOBS ARE IN! Having short hair may be terrifying to many of us but honestly once you hop on the bandwagon you might just fall in love with it! Short hair is so easy to maintain and style, you'll thank yourself to saving tons of time to do other things rather than meddling with your long locks! This past summer I decided to go short and I haven't for one second since then regretted the decision. I have a fairly small face so choosing a hair style that looks "okay" with my face shape had never been too difficult. But I find myself being the most content with shorter styles as longer strands tend to make me look weighed down and more tired. Lately I've been rocking a bob style on the shorter end of spectrum. It's just a few inches below my ears and not quite sitting above my shoulders. When I first go the hair cut I'd call it a pixie bob, as it was shorter and not so much of a regular shoulder length bob. Since getting the haircut I've been in love with how easy it is to style it and how much less time I need to spend to fake a more "put together" look. Although the length is restricting in the fact that you can't do any long hair styles but it is definitely a versatile style that could be molded for different occasions. Here I'll be showing you how I style my bob in a simple, mess free, method that will take less than five minutes of your day!

Tools Needed:
-Heat protectant (keeps your hair from getting fried)
-Large barrel curling iron (1 1/4 or 1 1/2)
(this will create lots of volume and give an airy look)
-Teasing comb (this is optional, for additional volume)
-Hair Spray (also optional, for lasting style)

Method:
1. Spray heat protectant and work well into hair for adequate protection
2. Use your curling iron and "curl" outwards using small strands of hair and work around your head
for added volume, lift hair vertically up at the crown.
3. Optional step: tease roots for added volume.
4. Optional step: spray with hair spray to lock style in place.
