STUNNING with a wavy swirl
A wavy bob that hits mid-neck won’t trap heat when worn down, but strands are still long enough to be swept up into a small pony or bun if the mercury begins to rise, says celebrity hairstylist Lee Stafford. Plus, the movement and depth of the cut’s bouncy, face-framing waves and subtle layers create the illusion of a much fuller and shorter face.
What to ask for: A bob that rests just below the chin and has long, sideswept fringe and graduated, choppy layers throughout. Get the style: Wrap 1" sections of hair around a 11⁄2" curling iron and alternate the direction curls fall (one section going toward the face and the other section going away from the face) so curls look less contrived. After all of hair is curled and cooled, gently comb through with fingers, then spritz with hair spray to lock in the style.
