With a short style the ends are always on show. Small tricks to keep your bob sharp and neat for weeks.
The ends matter most
With a bob the ends sit at face level, so any unravelled braid is noticed straight away. If an end opens, dip it in warm water for a few seconds and let it dry straight.
Sleeping
You cannot gather short braids into a bun — so a satin bonnet or pillowcase matters even more. Without it the ends crease and bend.
Moisture
- A light spray on the lengths every few days.
- A drop of oil on the partings after washing.
- Shine mousse when you want your bob to look brand new.
Shape
If you want your bob to stay perfectly straight, dry it after washing under a scarf tied around your head. The braids settle into the shape you want.
When to redo it
Bob braids are worn for 4 to 6 weeks. With short hair new growth shows sooner, so it is good to book your next appointment in time.
