Short Wavy Bob FAQ's

What is a short wavy bob?

A short wavy bob is essentially a bob with a styled wave! It’s increasingly common to find bobs styled in this way. They look effortless, sophisticated yet modern and stylish.

To achieve the desired look, a short wavy bob is typically cut around chin length or slightly longer. Unlike a straight bob, the wavy bob is all about movement and creating a relaxed look and there are a couple of ways that this can be achieved. The methods can vary and are usually dependent on hair length/texture/volume and your lifestyle (dependent on your happiness to maintain!). Typically, this style works for a lot of hair types but looks particularly good and effective for clients with natural waves or those with the time to add some with straighteners/curling tongs.

What are your options for a short wavy bob?

Classic Wavy Bob: Unless you are lucky to have naturally wavy hair, you’ll need to utilise your hot tools! This is fairly easy to do and there are lots of excellent YouTube videos on styling tips. This is your standard wavy bob, cut at about chin length, with soft waves that give the hair body and volume.
Layered Wavy Bob: The layered wavy bob adds dimension through soft and subtle layers. These layers help break up flat hair to give it a little ‘X’ factor.
Wavy Bob w/ Fringe: Adding a fringe (or bangs) to your wavy bob can create a fun, youthful look though it isn’t for everyone. The option of a fringe frames your face, though it come in some instances reduce options for styling.
Textured Wavy Bob: A textured wavy bob is perfect for women who want to embrace their natural texture while adding volume and movement. This style involves creating choppy layers for a carefree/messy look.

Pros of a Short Wavy Bob

Easy to style: A short wavy bob is relatively low maintenance and easy to style. Your greatest assest is the shorter length which usually translates as not needing to spend hours styling it every morning.
Volume: The soft waves of this bob are perfect for adding volume, especially for women with fine hair. If cut correctly, a short wavy bob can create the illusion of fuller, thicker hair.
Modern: They can look, with the right curls or waves, absolutely amazing. A short wavy bob can take years off your appearance too! Short wavy bobs can be tweaked to suit your face shape and style. Your Stylist will be able to support you with this.

Cons of getting a Short Wavy Bob

Upkeep: Irrespective of the type of haircut, all hair should be cut at least semi-regularly. However shorter haircuts are much more noticeable once hair begins to split. In the case of a short wavy bob, this is no different.
Length: To be honest there aren’t that many downsides to a short wavy bob however the obvious one is that if you take the plunge and don’t like short hair, the transition from short to long is the obvious drawback. So it’s important to recognise that if your intention is to eventually transition, that could prove a deal-breaker.

Conclusion - is a short wavy bob right for you?

Whether you’re embracing your natural waves or creating them with styling tools, a short wavy bob offers a modern and sophisticated haircut for most occasions.
