197) LONG BOB HAIR STYLES


 The long bob is a big trend.   It is not considered long hair, nor can it be called a short hair because the cut is blunt and just above the shoulders.  To get this easy to manage hairstyle here are a few tips to follow:

1. Longer bobs can be bland if it is cut too blunt. Stacked layers in the back add dimension.
2. A bob can't be too layered, or it's not a bob. Gwyneth's bob here is more edgy because the stylist thinned out the ends with scissors or a razor.
3. Ask the stylist to make your bob a touch shorter in the back.
4. This cut works on straight and wavy hair . It's a versatile cut because you can wear it wavy or flat-ironed.

New pictures show she's already growing out her gorgeous bob, which is flattering to her face. "I didn't have to go quite so short but I figured it's the only time I would ever do it... it's cute short, but I'll grow it back out," she said to InStyle magazine.

Gwyneth Paltrow's sophisticated long bob is a terribly sexy version of the bob. She parts the hair in the middle and the cut is at an angle -- a tad shorter in back than in front. Her naturally wavy hair is then flat-ironed to sleek perfection. 

What you need for this look: 


1. A large, rounded brush (don't curl the ends too far under, lest you end up looking like an 80's throwback). 


2. A decent flat iron. 


3. A gloss spray for after you flat iron.

Here is a good picture showing how the back of a bob hairstyle can be shorter than the front, following the angle of the jaw. This makes the traditional long bob look fresher.
