Tips for Moms

Want a little A-list inspiration for a sexy new look? Here’s how celebrities are wearing their bob hairstyle!

Paris Hilton’s Graduated Bob
Paris has swapped her extensions for a sweet graduated bob. This ‘do has texture, gloss and sex appeal. We’ve always preferred Paris with shorter hair, not only does it give her a far more sophisticated look, it’s also more flattering for her face shape. This graduated cut side swept bangs is hugely wearable and by sticking with her platinum blonde block color, Paris ensures she is bang on-trend. How to style it: Shape with a dryer and a vent brush, using flat iron to enhance the key sections.

Katie Holmes’ Bob
The lovely Katie Holmes looks oh-so cool, calm and in control with her classic bob cut. It is the classic bob, but it is updated with a fringy perimeter. It has a very sophisticated look yet can be very casual too. It can be worn in a smooth classic style or flipped out for fun. The sides can be worn forward, framing the face or tucked behind one or both ears.

Victoria “Posh” Beckham’s Pob
Sharp, funky and fresh. The cut accentuates the angle of her jaw line while the punchy platinum hue suits her skin tone. This sexy blonde crop with strands tucked behind the ear is the epitome of cool. Victoria Beckham, known for her mega-popular Pob, pretties up her look with lengthy fringe and surface layering through the crown. Petite features or a long neckline help make this style easy to wear.

Rihanna’ s Inverted Bob
Singer Rihanna is just as famous as her trendy bob as she is for her music. It’s an elegant cut that’s sharp, clean and sophisticated.

Eva Longoria’s Long Bob
If you’d like a bob but want enough length so you can pull hair back, consider Eva’s hairstyle. It has less layers, so the shape is denser, fuller. To vary it, try moving the part, but beware of the precise center part because it makes full face look wider. This cut’s perfect for you if your hair is fine and straight; if it’s too thick it will get too bushy. Unless your face is long and narrow, this one could work for you.

Jenny McCarthy’s Asymmetrical Bob
Her sleek, asymmetrical style is even shorter and more angled these days. Styled from a short, high side part, it’s blown-out with a paddle brush, then flat-ironed to further smooth the hair shaft.
