If you’ve recently gotten a choppy bob haircut, you may be at a loss as to how to style it. A choppy bob cut can be intimidating if you’ve normally had a sleek, straight style. The key to styling a choppy bob is to make use of the natural wave and body of your hair.

Make Wise Use of Styling Products
You’ll want to invest in the appropriate styling products. Is your hair thin? Invest in product that will add volume and body to your hair. Does your hair frizz easily? Invest in a smoothing or anti-frizz product. Is your hair dry or damaged from color? Invest in a nourishing oil that will replenish moisture and repair split ends.

Blow Dry Appropriately
You might be used to straightening your hair or trying to achieve a slick look, so blow drying a choppy bob might feel strange to you. Blow dry your hair in sections, beginning with the undermost layers, using a round brush. The key is to smooth the hair without fighting the natural wave and body that will give life to a choppy bob. Instead allow your hair to guide the brush instead of the other way around. Blow dry the roots, adding volume and body by lifting at the scalp, but let the last bit of drying occur naturally, using only your fingers as you blow-dry into the style your hair wants to naturally take.

Finishing Touches
Use a styling paste or wax to define pieces of hair, prompting cute areas to flip or curl as appropriate. Experiment with different parts and with accessories such as barrettes and clips. Try tucking one segment behind your ear and allow another segment to drape or flip attractively around your jaw. The key to a cute choppy bob haircut is to allow the hair to look natural and tousled while still looking styled. It may take a while for you to figure out exactly how to style this haircut, but you will no doubt get compliments when you hit it right.
