• The freshest bob is one with angled layers. If you want an edgier look, ask your stylist to keep the front sections at your chin but to trim the back so it's no longer than your hairline.
• If you have fine hair, get a blunt bob--it can make wimpy strands look thicker. Sprinkling a little dry shampoo at the roots will also help build volume. (We like Fekkai Au Naturel Dry Shampoo.)
• For wavy hair, the key is to avoid a cut that turns your head into a triangle/pyramid/disaster. A bob that's a little longer than chin-length and layered in the back will keep you out of embarrassment's way.
• Bangs with a bob look hot. Just make sure they're strong, not soft--wispy bangs can look dated and too girly.
• Don't OD on products, but don't skip them entirely—or watch as your short style turns poofy. The pros say that a volumizing spray is ideal for hair this length. Spritz it at the crown of damp hair, then blow- or air-dry. (Try Phyto Phytovolume Actif Volumizer Spray.)
• For a sexy evening look, tease the crown of your hair and if you have bangs, brush them over to the side.
• To shake things up, add a hair accessory—but avoid anything patterned or sparkly, which can look teeny-bopper with a bob. You can use a simple barrette to fasten side-swept bangs at eye level. Or go with a wide headband.
