Textured Bobs are becoming a popular style this year. This adds a bit of fun to a normally severe and straight cut. You can either cut the textured bob bluntly or angle it. It also has the curling method that gives it its texture. This bob has soft curls, layers and curls.

The Lob Bob
The Lob, also known as the Blunt Cut or the Blunt Cut is a style of hair that ends just above your shoulders. Bobs are beloved and praised because they make hair look thicker and healthier while also drawing attention to the face.
Now that you have the cut, it is time to apply the colour!
Many bob haircuts are worn in jet black to highlight the cut and tilt of hair. Some people pair their bob with a dazzling blonde, a dark brown, or a soft color.
Bob Haircuts

How Rock Your Bob
Bobs can be worn behind the ears, just like regular styles. You can usually find one side of the bob tucked behind your ears, creating cozy vibes.
You can also let your hair fall over your eyes, channeling Aliyah.
Bobs can be either short or long. They are also bouncy and should be properly cut to show off the style.
Make sure you research stylists in your area who can cut and use shears.
Things to Consider
Although the bob lifestyle is wonderful, it requires a lot of work. These are some things you should consider before you join the #BobLife.
No more casual washing and drying. A bob requires maintenance. Bob is a simple yet difficult style to maintain. Your hair will need to be styled to perfection or straightened to silky smooth.
Keep in mind that your hair will need to be cut frequently to maintain its shape. You won’t be content with your hair growing out in different styles, and you will need to trim or cut your hair regularly.
You will always have a perfect bob, no matter what the season.
Getting Adjusted to the #BobLife
It may seem strange to see so much of your face. It draws more attention to facial features if your hair is positioned around your jawline and face. Don’t worry!
This is a great time to be friendly with accessories like earrings and headbands to love your lips, and lashes.
New look, new style
Using Extensions to Obtain a Bob Style
A bob can make your hair look fuller and more neat. You have many options to choose from if you’re unsure about which bob is best for your hair.
You can choose to purchase shorter or longer extensions if your budget is not sufficient. To achieve a bob style, you can use longer extensions such as Private Label Extensions Malaysian Head Wave 20 in. For a bob, hair does not need to be straight or curly. You can add texture to your hair by using a curlier text, such as the Brazilian Deep Wave Extensions.
Stylists will only need to taper and layer the rear while trimming and angling front to achieve desired length. Tilt-Bobs or Traditional Slant Bobs will benefit from longer lengths.
To achieve a bob style, you can use shorter lengths such as 10 and 12 inches. Asymmetrical Bobs, A-Line Bobs, and shorter blunt cuts can be achieved by using shorter lengths.
