Classic bob haircuts never go out of style. They work on short to medium length hair and nearly everyone can wear it. For a trendier look, asymmetrical bob haircuts, also known as or angled bob haircuts, are just what you are looking for. Think Victoria "Posh" Beckham. Layered bob haircuts like hers are cut short in the back and are known as stacked bob haircuts. In fact, her style has become so popular it's been named after her: the Pob. Who hasn't looked at her gorgeous do and wished she could have the same? Well, with a few quick suggestions to your stylist, just the right hair products and a few minutes of time, you can.

Off the bat, you need a stylist who knows how to texturize hair with a straight razor. Ask someone with a great bob who did her hair. She'll love the compliment. While you are at the stylist, don't forget these hair products: texturizing shampoo and conditioner, anti-frizz balm, volumizing mousse, pomade or wax, glossy shine serum and a finishing spray. Yes, it's quite a list of hair products, but you use a very tiny amount to style, so they will last a long time.

Once you have the cut, you need to style it properly:

  1. Start by using a salon quality texturizing shampoo and conditioner.
  2. Towel it dry and add a bit of anti-frizz balm and a little mousse.
  3. Dry your hair with a blow dryer and a round brush, coaxing your hair toward your face.
  4. When it's dry, use a bit of pomade or wax to spike and separate. Rub the pomade between your hands until is soft before putting it in your hair.
  5. When you get the results you are after, finish the look with shine serum and a finishing spray.

Any bob, but especially stacked bob haircuts, need to be trimmed every four to six weeks in order to look their best, so keep up on your trims.

Whether they are called layered bob haircuts, stacked bob haircuts, asymmetrical bob haircuts or angled bob haircuts, modern versions of classic bob haircuts, like Victoria Beckham's Pob, will leave you looking fabulous!
