As we step into 2023, the curly and wavy bob is taking the hairstyling world by storm! This chic hairstyle has been seen on runways, red carpets, and social media feeds, making it the hottest trend of the year. It’s not hard to see why - the curly and wavy bob is a low maintenance yet trendy hairstyle that’s perfect for those looking to switch up their look without spending hours in the salon.

Why is the curly/wavy bob trending?

The curly/wavy bob has gained popularity for several reasons, including its versatility, low maintenance, and effortless style. With the busy lives we lead, many people want a hairstyle that is easy to maintain but still looks chic and put-together. The curly/wavy bob provides just that - it's a style that can be dressed up or down, making it suitable for any occasion.

Another reason why the curly/wavy bob is trending is that it celebrates natural texture. For too long, stick straight hair has been the go-to look, but people are now embracing their curls and waves. The curly/wavy bob allows you to showcase your natural texture and experiment with different lengths and shapes.

How to achieve the curly/wavy bob look?

Getting the curly/wavy bob look is relatively simple and can be achieved with just a few styling tools and products. To start, you'll want to get a fresh cut from a stylist who is experienced in cutting curly hair. They can help you choose a length and style that works best for your hair type and face shape. This also applies to lace wigs and hair bundles. A stylist can install your hair and then style it to your liking. This also includes trimming/cutting the hair and adding color.

If your a self taught hair pro, then once you have your cut, you'll need to style your hair. Begin by applying a heat protectant spray to your hair to protect it from damage caused by heat styling tools. Next, use a curling iron or a wand to curl small sections of your hair, alternating the direction of the curls for a more natural look. If you want to enhance your natural waves and curls, you can also use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer.

After you've curled your hair, use your fingers to gently loosen the curls and create a tousled look. Finish off with a texturizing spray or a sea salt spray to add volume and texture to your hair. And voila - you've got a stunning curly/wavy bob that's sure to turn heads!

The great thing about this hairstyle is that it’s low maintenance and easy to style. To enhance your texture, you can apply a curl-defining product to damp hair and let it air dry. Alternatively, you can use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer to enhance your curls or waves.

 If you want to add more texture to your curly or wavy bob, you can use a texturizing spray or sea salt spray to give your hair a beachy, tousled look. Another popular styling option is to create loose, beachy waves with a curling iron. To do this, take small sections of hair and wrap them around the barrel of the curling iron, leaving the ends out. Once you’ve curled your entire head, use your fingers to separate the curls and create a more natural look.

When it comes to face shape, the curly and wavy bob is a versatile hairstyle that can work for a variety of face shapes. For those with a round face shape, a curly or wavy bob that falls just below the chin can help to elongate the face and create a more flattering shape. For those with a square face shape, a curly or wavy bob with layers can soften the angles of the face. Those with an oval face shape can rock any length or style of the curly or wavy bob.

To maintain the health and longevity of your curly or wavy bob, it’s important to keep it moisturized and avoid over-styling. Regular trims can also help to keep the ends healthy and prevent split ends.

In summary, the curly and wavy bob is the hottest hairstyle trend of 2023, thanks to its low maintenance and natural beauty. To style this trendy look, embrace your natural texture or enhance it with a curl-defining product or curling iron. With the right styling and maintenance, the curly or wavy bob can work for any face shape and add a touch of chicness to any outfit.
