Wavy Bob

Soft, breezy waves are a natural fit for a side-part bob.
Allow the rest of your mane to cover and hide the ponytail.
@khloekardashian

Using hairspray to control the top of this hairstyle is key, Toth advises.

An offset side part can give the simple cut a little extra interest and lift it at the roots.

And why is it only your hair?)

A deep side part adds even more intrigue.
Start with the part, then slick your hair with a generous amount of water-based hair gel.
Mixed Texture Bob
For natural curls, Toth recommends this fun mixed-texture bob.

Bobs are a great option for thin orfine hair.
[Bobs] are great because theyre easy to style, Hurtado explains.
The side part is a styling bonus, adding a little oomph at the roots for volume.
