There are many versions of short angled bob hairstyles, making the angled bob cut such a versatile, go-to look for today’s woman. The flipped out style features the ends of the cut flipped or angled out; this look is achieved by smoothing the hair out with a round brush, then bending small sections of the ends of the hair with a flat iron. A light finishing spray secures the look.

Another great, modern bob look is the half curled bob; this is just as it sounds—half of your hair is curled, the other is straight. Start by parting your hair as desired and decide which side will be straight and which will be curly. Then curl the one side with your 1-inch curling iron; smooth out the other side with a flat iron or round brush.

The banged bob cut features straight across bangs that rock this bob’s world! However, do not attempt to cut your own straight across bangs—you’ll regret it as soon as you do it; instead, go to your stylist and as them to perform the cut. To style your banging bob, use a paddle brush and a blow dryer to dry and smooth your hair. If your bangs need further smoothing, use a flat iron.

Take heart, short angled bob hairstyles are not just for contemporary looks. Some classic, retro angled bob styles are just a dry and a curl away! The blown-out bob is a standard, with its luscious looking locks.

  1. Simply towel dry and part your hair as desired.
  2. Then use a medium sized round brush to take sections of hair to dry and smooth.
  3. A light finishing spray will be sure to keep everything looking luxurious.

Your angled bob can be worn in a vintage manner, popular among retro TV bad girls, with an up-do. To achieve this vintage hairstyle, dry your hair as normal; then secure the front sections of your hair on either side with bobby pins. Then curl the rest of your hair with a 1-inch iron, and be sure to backcomb somewhat at the roots to give your hair a vixeny, tousled look. Watch out, Joan Collins! The loose curled style is full of body, bounce, and does wonders for framing the face. The look is achieved by using a 1 ¼ -inch curling iron to curl one small section of hair at a time.

Once all the sections are curled, run your fingers through your hair to give it a looser look. You can’t go wrong with the short angled bob—no matter which look you choose, you will look just as radiant as your favorite celebrities!
