The feel of this “Bob” is a strong geometric shape, complimented with softness, but just how do you style it at home?
1. To keep the fringe (bangs) and edges strong and smooth, apply a smoothing serum, blowdry with a flat brush keeping the hair straight with a slight bend.
2. The textured layers through the crown should be enhanced with a texture or volumizing lotion, blowdry with less precision using your fingers or the flat brush but allowing the texture in the haircut to come through.
3. Now that the hair is completely dry, use the blowdryer, on cool air, to lift the textured layers, at the same time, spray a light spray wax through to enhance the separation and texture.
You are now rockin’ one hot bob!.

So, you’ve seen Katie’s bob, and of course you’ve seen the now famous POB, and now you’re thinking - hey wait I want a bob! Here are nine bobs created by our team all on local Washington area women. Ready for yours? Here’s some things to know about bobs.
If you don’t want to spend a lot of time styling your bob, let your stylist know, so he/she can create a lower maintenance shape that works with waves or the natural volume of your hair. Bobs come in many lengths, if you’re nervous to go short, opt for a longer length. Stylists can always take length off but they have yet to figure out how to add length. The bob you want may not be the best shape to suit your face shape, so even if you have a picture in hand the finished product may vary to flatter you. Lastly, don’t let your new bob start without a picture, the best way to get a bob you love is for you and your stylist to review pictures to ensure it’s the exact shape you expect.

Love one of the these nine bobs let us know! Leave us a comment, judging for our photographic competition wont be complete until April 30th, 2008 and we’d love to know what you think.

We are so excited for our Miami session worker Sean Stredwick, his first layout in Elle Mexico looks fantastic!
Beach sexy hair (even if it was shot in a swamp). The spread not only features Sean’s hair styling work but his Jeep too! Sean flies back to DC twice a month to share his knowledge with our team and still runs a good few of our educational classes. View the whole lay out here. We also have some behind the scenes photo’s.
