As the world has
progressed through centuries and tumbled on to the contemporary era, there are
but just a few things from the past which have endured till today and short bob hairstyles are one of them. Such
has been the fascination of people towards this dramatic queen that her name is
cited as an epitome in royalty and since a lot of her aura is attributed to her
hairdo, women have often been found experimenting with it.
The Cleopatra bob
Since it is meant as an
ode to the great queen, in order to accomplish this hairstyle, the ends of the
hair are cut straight and sharp as opposed to being layered and the length
should fall in between shoulders and chin. While it is accompanied by long
bangs which are meant to touch the eyebrows, from behind a certain amount of
deviation from strict tradition is permitted in form of spiky and jagged ends
to achieve a gothic look. Amongst the various short bob hairstyles, this option is perfect for slim women with
straight hair as it tends to highlight their sharp facial features.
Teased bob
To achieve a teased bob,
the hair should lie in between scalp and chin and then teased with the help of
gel or hair spray so that not only do the strands move away from scalp but it
adds to the volume as well. Using prominent highlights is the name of the game
in this hairdo and while pink and purple are common show stealers, a shade
which is slightly lighter or darker than your hair color can also make a lot of
difference.
Layering and curling
Who says the short bob hairstyles cannot be
manipulated? By keeping the length a little on the longer side, layers can be
added to achieve a chic look or the ends can be curled in one particular
direction if daring is the statement to be conveyed.
Undoubtedly there are
people who like to spend a lot of time looking after their hair and fixing it
into place but for exceptions who lack time as also patience for the task, short bob hairstyles are ideal. Apart
from being able to retain the same look for months on end, all this haircut
needs is a dryer and a round brush for maintenance.
