Messy Bob
THE CUT
A fun, edgy bob haircut is fresh approach to a classic short haircut. Short layers give it movement and softness. By adding longer bangs, the style takes on a natural, soft look that sets it apart from the bluntness of a typical bob. The cut works nicely for all face shapes, with simple adjustments like longer side swept bangs for square face shapes.

THE STYLING
Using a thermal protectant like Redken Iron Shape 11, blow dry with a paddle brush. Follow by flat ironing small sections and finishing with Paul Mitchell Spray Wax.
For a second look, blown dry, and add soft curls with a medium-sized wand or curling iron. Hold the curls with a finishing spray like Biolage Complete Control Hairspray for lasting impact.
