Before you decide which type of bob to get, it's best to first discuss your desired style and what your strengths are when it comes to doing your own hair. Because unless you're one of the few lucky humans whose hair air dries to perfection every single day, the reality is that most bobs require some styling aids, whether that's hot tools or a cocktail of products.
Everyone's hair and style is different, but as a general guide, Windle recommended that those with natural textures and curls use a diffuser and scrunch in a product like Windle London's Curl Enhancer Cream (£18).
For those with a straight bob, brush the hair both forward and backward when blowing drying for a relaxed, loose finish. And for the dreamy beach waves shown here, Collier recommended Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Weightless Texture Spray (£11) to add a little bit of light texture and wave (Collier is an ambassador for the brand).
If you find that products weigh your hair down, you might find this happens even more with a bob. One small difference you can make is to "condition the hair first, then shampoo it out; that way you're getting the moisture but it's not so heavy on the hair," Collier said.
