STYLING TIPS

• Bob haircut, be it a blunt one or a shoulder-length style, is easy to carry as it suits most face shapes. 
• With shorter lengths, a bob cut tends to give more volume to your hair. 
• While it was a go-to style for many during childhood, it is a hairdo that makes one look younger effortlessly. 
• Bob cuts are great not just while washing hair but also for quick styling session by yourself. 
• For curly hair, use curl cream on damp hair and comb it using a wide tooth comb. Leave it to air dry or diffuse it for best results.
