STYLE

Chin-length bobs with a bit of curl and plenty of bounce are taking over Hollywood as the new must-have crop. GL took notice and asked one of our fave stylists, Nicholas Penna, Jr., owner and lead stylist of SalonCapri in Newton, MA, exactly how to get this ‘do. From who it looks best on to how to style it, this is one look worth going to the salon for.

What to ask for:
Nick suggests asking your stylist for a chin length bob. “You’ll want to emphasize that you want a blunt cut with not a lot of layers,” he tells us. Nick also suggests asking for a few layers on the front ends of the hair in order to achieve some shape and bounce. “Movement is key for this style—you want the hair to have some life to it!”

Who can rock it:
Nick suggests this cut for girls with curls or waves. “Straight hair may have difficulty achieving this look because it truly depends on hair with texture,” he confesses.

How to style it:
When your hair is still damp, apply a texturizing product. “Next, let hair air dry and scrunch it with your fingers as it dries,” Nick says. “If you’re in a rush, try using a hairdryer with a diffuser on low heat.” If your hair is wavy, Nick suggests using a 1-inch barrel curling iron to amp limp parts of your locks.
