“My Nanna’s Mousse is a really great product to add volume and shine to your bob,” says celebrity hairstylist Larry King. “It’s the best product for really being able to adapt your bob and wear it in multiple ways. It gives you the styling base to change it up daily and gives hair that expensive, plump and shiny finish too.”

“The bob has so many great styling options, depending on the length,” says Christel Barron-Hough, hairstylist and founder of Stil. “Currently, the trend is to have lots of softness and movement in a bob shape and to achieve this I absolutely adore using Color Wow One Minute Transformation Cream.

It’s designed to smooth hair without blow-drying, so it is perfect to tame bobs as it gets rid of frizz but keeps natural movement.”

“This styling cream gives the hair the perfect weight to control the hair and give it a second-day feel,” explains Dale Herne, hairstylist at Hershesons Fitzrovia. “Most importantly, it separates the ends to give a cool chopped texture rather than a rounded polished look, which doesn’t feel as modern or cool.”

“If you use a dryer or straightening irons to maintain your bob, remember frequent heat exposure can lead to damage and breakage,” explains Elliot Bute, hairstylist at Hershesons Fitzrovia. “A good heat protection spray like L’Oreal Pli spray protects your hair keeping it healthy and in good condition.”

“A bob is a great all-round style that suits all hair types, especially those with textured hair. Those with curls, coils, kinks and waves often opt for a bob as an easier way to maintain their natural texture without the added length,” says textured hair expert Rose Ovensehi.

“If you’re opting for a textured bob, one thing that you should prioritise is the overall health, shine and definition of your curls. There’s nothing worse than a dull, lifeless bob where curls, volume and texture may drop. My top recommendation is to invest in a nutrient-rich multi-tasking hair oil that will add shine to your bob while also protecting it from environmental factors to prevent damage. The Citrus Superfruit Radiance Oil helps your curls to retain moisture while enveloping each strand in an invisible, non-greasy, protective layer, celebrated for its antioxidant richness and UV-protective powers.”

“When you first have your hair cut into a bob it can be tricky to style, but bobs are all about that natural texture,” says hairstylist James Lear. “The done but undone wave, straight with a kink. At the moment I’m loving Colour Wow Style on Steroids. It’s a powerful satisfying spray that can lift up the layers of your new bob and spray generously into the internal space then tip your head upside down and really rough it up. Then use a soft bristle brush to tame the bits that look too messy, leaving you with that perfectly undone bob.”

“I love to use the Larry King Volume Mist on dry hair or second-day hair, but through the ends of the hair (instead of the roots like normally) to bring out the texture of the cut,” says Lily Bridger, hairstylist at Larry King.

“This dry texturising spray enhances a bob with effortless volume and texture. It boosts fullness while keeping hair manageable, making it ideal for crafting a polished yet laid-back look,” says hairdresser Samantha Cusick.
