Pro tips for the perfect bob

Bob consultation preparation

Before your consultation, gather inspiration photos of bob haircuts that you like. Focus on images that showcase styles similar to what you envision for yourself. But, keep in mind that while these photos can guide your discussion, your hairstylist will tailor the cut to suit your unique features and preferences.

Also, consider the following points to effectively communicate with our your stylist:

1. Describe your lifestyle

let our stylists know about your daily routine, including how much time you typically spend on styling your hair. This will help us recommend a bob haircut that aligns with your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.

2. Discuss your hair texture

Whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly, providing insight into your natural hair texture and what hair products you currently use allows our stylists to suggest bob variations that will complement your hair type.

3. Be realistic about hair maintenance

Be honest about how much time and effort you're willing to invest in maintaining your bob haircut. If you prefer a low-maintenance style, we can recommend a cut and styling technique that requires minimal upkeep.

Bob hair styling tips

Once you've achieved your desired bob haircut, we can experiment with different styling techniques that can further elevate your look. Here are some styling tips:

1. Texturising products

Invest in texturising products such as Mr. Smith sea salt spray or volumising spray to add definition and volume to your bob. Apply these products to damp hair and either air dry or use a diffuser for natural-looking waves.

2. Straightening techniques

For a sleek and polished appearance, use a flat iron to straighten your bob. Divide your hair into sections and slowly glide the flat iron from roots to ends for a smooth finish. Finish with the Mr. Smith lightweight hair serum to add shine and control frizz.

3. Adding waves

Achieve effortless beachy waves by using a curling wand or iron to curl sections of your bob outward. Once curled, run your fingers through your hair to loosen the waves for a relaxed vibe. Finish with a Mr. Smith texturizing spray for added hold.
