Bottleneck bob: what is the appeal of the trendy hairstyle for short hair?
The bottleneck bob is actually a very low-maintenance and cool hairstyle that can be adapted to the shape of the face. On top, bangs flatter the face and emphasize the eyes and eyebrows. The upper part of the hair is styled not voluminous. At the bottom, the ends of the hair are blow-dried inwards or outwards as desired. The haircut looks especially good on women with long faces, but can be modified as desired and is then quite suitable for women with angular or round faces.
How to style the short haircut correctly: in everyday life and for special occasions.
The bob can be styled in any way. Sleek for special occasions, with hair behind the ears, with casual waves for a playful beach look (looks especially nice with strands of hair), chin-length or shoulder-length: the trend hairstyle of the year offer numerous styling options, with and without accessories.
As for the bangs, they too can be combed to the side or back, or simply fall loosely into the face. Which option you choose depends more on the shape of your face. Get advice from a hairdresser when cutting your hair and try different variants at home.

The most important thing when caring for your bob hairstyle is to have your hair recut regularly (that is, once a month). If you dye it, then you should also do this during the monthly visit to the hairdresser.

However, make sure that the characteristic shape of the haircut is preserved. Use special volumizing styling products to make the hairstyle durable . For special occasions, you can also style the beachwaves with a straightening iron.
How does the haircut work for natural curls?
The special thing about the hairstyle is that the hair is styled flat on top and voluminous at the bottom. However, for women with natural curls, this is not always possible. In this case, it is also enough if simply the lower part of the hair is more voluminous than the upper.
Sleek styling for women with straight hair
Women with straight hair can go for sleek styling. The trendy look is given with a straightening iron and suitable styling products. The best thing is that you can not invest a lot of time, but for the hairstyle you need less than 10 minutes in the morning.
What bob length should you choose?

Anyone can adjust the length as desired, because the trend hairstyle in the first place is about a successful styling.
