For those women over 50 who have chosen layered bob hairstyles, they have enjoyed a sleek, low-maintenance, attainable texture with volumes that move through their hair. On finer locks, this hair type is especially flattering as it can create an illusion of fullness and density.
Canadian hairstylist and salon owner Tammie Axworthy shares her insights on how to achieve the perfect layered bob. “When you consult with your stylist,” says Axworthy, “ask them:”
- What length will best flatter my face shape ?
- What products do I need to maintain this look at home?
- What effect will layers have on my styling routine?
To achieve a layered bob look according to Axworthy, it’s much better to use hot tools that give wavy or straight effects accompanied by a heat protectant so as not to damage your locks completely, finish the drying with a round brush shaped large enough to smooth the ends and extend the life of the style.
Axworthy suggests younger women might like layered cuts, with less at the back and growing out at the sides; she suggests a lob (long bob) for more styling versatility.
This trend looks amazing on Taraji P. Henson, Regina Hall, and Regina King, just to name a few Hollywood stars who have proven how gorgeous layered bobs can be.
