Give your bob smooth but bouncy blow dry for a more sophisticated look Keeping the length below the chin, and adding in a sweeping fringe maintains shape around the face and keeps the style softer. Or texturize you lob with layers, spritz with a salt spray or add mattifying products to wet hair, quick blast with the hair dryer and you’re left with beachy lived in waves. If you have a finer hair type be careful not to take layers short around the crown as you’ll need to try and maintain thickness at the bottom of your hair. Adding curls turning away from the face will give the illusion of volume and lift.
If going for the chop is too much of a daunting thought for you and simple way of switching up your style is to play about with your parting. For people with oval or heart shaped faces, a sleek middle parting will narrow the face significantly. If you’re not a fan off the sleek look, lift the roots slightly with your finger tips whilst blowdrying.
A side parting with a longer sweeping fringe can be effective for longer face shapes. Softer waves or curls will soften the look around the face.
