To enhance the texture and the look of the jagged ends, use styling products like texturizing sprays. My favorite is the Balloon Dry Volume spray from R and Co.

A sassy bob haircut can transform your look. But how do you choose the right style for your hair and face type? Hairdresser Stela Ilijevski shares her expert advice.
Stela explains a bob isn’t just one size fits all. “Not every bob haircut is the same,” she says. Your lifestyle, hair texture, length, face shape and neck length come into play. For fine hair, go for some layering. It gives the illusion of fuller hair. Or opt for a straight blunt cut for a sleek look. Have thick or curly hair? Stela recommends some layering and thinning. This will stop hair growing out into a triangle shape.
Your cut should also flatter your face shape. “For rounder faces, let the bob fall past your jaw line. It will elongate your face,” says Stela. A fringe and some layers will give fuller appearance to longer face shapes, making it appear rounder.
When it comes to styling your bob, personal preference rules. But Stela gives this bit of advice. “Always start with some heat protection spray and leave in moisturizer.” She also recommends a fast blow-drying spray for thick hair. “Then pick a product that will help you control what you don’t want your hair to do.” This could mean using a smoothing lotion for waves or curls. Or a root booster for volume. Want to enhance your curl? Use a moisturizing lotion and curl-activating sprays. Stela’s final tip? Experiment to find the best look for you.
