Everything You Need To Know About Bobs | Essence

If you're considering getting this it-girl style, learn a few maintenance tips from three celebrity hairstylists.

What do Lori Harvey, Gabrielle Union, Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, and Zendaya all have in common? Rocking the bob cut hairstyle, of course. All have further proven that this has been the year of chopping it off and embracing cropped looks.

"It's a short to medium-length haircut in which the hair is typically cut straight around the head at about jaw-level, often with bangs at the front," Danielle Priano tells ESSENCE. "A bob can suit almost any face shape with the right cut."

If you're considering wearing this hairstyle, celebrity hair stylists give us the 411 on this blunt chin-length 'do below.

In general, Priano, Kim Kimble, and Sarah Potempa share that a bob can suit any face shape. If you want to elongate your face, though, for example, opt for a longer bob. If you want a softer look, try a layered bob. For balancing out the forehead and jawline, you might consider side-swept bangs.

Potempa notes that a classic bob is the easiest to maintain. "The styling is minimal, so all you must do is ensure you have the correct products to add volume and keep up with your cut appointments."

If you want to add layers, they can add texture and movement, making the haircut more versatile. "For thicker hair, layers can help reduce bulk, while for finer hair, minimal layering can add volume," Potempa said. "The choice depends on the desired look and hair type."

For anyone who's getting a silk press bob, consider using products like lightweight serums, holding sprays and styling creams to maintain bobs. Serums can be used on silk press bobs, bob wigs, and even on the ends of bob braids.

Priano suggests using heat protectants to keep the hair sleek and shiny while protecting against humidity. "Heat protectant is also essential, these products ensure that the bob stays smooth and glossy, providing long-lasting style without frizz."
