I have my hair cut into a chin length bob and have the worst time trying to style it. Anyone have ideas that don't involve cutting my hair? Also, my hair is all one length. I don't have my hair cut in bangs.

You probably need to add a slight layer towards the bottom of your hair. It will help it curl under and lay better. Also as you blow dry start from the bottom and work your way up. It makes it easier to make sure that the style that you are going for will fall into place better.

I'm not a hairstylist, but I think the underneath layers need to be shorter than the outside layers of the hair. If your hair is cut properly, it should almost go that way by itself with not much encouragement. Nothing beats a good haircut no matter the length of your hair.

i also have a one length chin length bob haircut. i got this secret from a hairdresser a few years ago. after shampoo and conditioning,put one large roller on the top of your head at the crown, then wrap your hair around your head in the opposite direction of your parting then fixing into place with those long steel clip things, remove the roller, tie a scarf around your head and leave it to dry. make take a few hours - i just do it at bedtime when its just damp. my hair is very thick and tends to frizz. in the morning when i take the scarf and clips out, it looks shiny and smooth. ive been doing this for years and my hair is in tip top condition. with practice, this will take you about 5minutes to do.GOOD LUCK!

I'm guessing the real problem is that it is truly one length. For it to lay correctly, the bottom needs to be somewhat stacked......now be careful with this word or you will have short hair. How is it well done is to - roll the ends of the hair over the top of the cutter's finger and cut along underneath . That way each layer is minutely longer than the one above it. Trouble is most hairstylists, probably due to being on thier feet all day, do not bend over to do it this way. Rather they tend to roll the section UNDER thier finger and cut from the top towards themselves. That results in each section being slightly shorter and it wants to turn up rather than weight the layers down to roll nicely under. Texturizing helps also to make the entire style lay properly. Go luck.

Use an "Ionic" hair dryer (helps dry hair faster on a lower speed), and a large round brush. I've also learned from Nick on "What Not to Wear" to always blow down the shaft of hair--this helps mine alot to give volume. This should help the bob look.

Layers do not work in my hair. It ends up getting too poofy.

I just got my bob today!!!! I think your problem is the "all one length". The length isn't the problem, but for it to lay properly you need layers. At least that is what my stylist told me as she was cutting mine. Good luck!

Yeah, a mohawk is sure to go over great. Perfect way to get me fired. Does anyone has a serious reply?
