Stylish Bob Hairstyles for 2009

Tight curls give an instant retro look to the bob and they're so easy to create with a curling iron or a set of hot rollers.

The poker straight finish is utterly timeless, but long layered side bangs make it fresh and 'now', whether worn sweeping across the eye or tucked behind the ear.
Blow-dry hair smooth using a medium-sized round brush, create a hint of volume at the roots and finish by curving the ends with a flat iron and misting with hairspray.

Tresses with an abundance of scrunched, tousled curls have been hot for a while now - neat or dishevelled as you dare. Wave different sized sections of hair with a medium barrel curling iron and allow curls to cool.
Flip your head upside down and shake out before running texturizing product through.

Invest in good quality styling tools and some essential products to make the most out of you styling potential.
Heat-styling can make your bob look dull and lifeless, so use a heat protection spray to maintain your hair's shine.
