17. Retro Flip-Out Braided Bob
Channel the playful energy of the 1960s with a retro flip-out braided bob. Instead of curving inward under the chin, the ends of these braids are curled deliberately outward, creating a fun, flirty flare around the jawline and neck. This silhouette is achieved using hot water setting with rollers curved outward, fixing the memory of the synthetic braid fibers into a structural flip.
The retro flip adds unique width and drama to the lower half of your face, making it an excellent choice for balancing longer face shapes or narrow chins. It brings a retro, nostalgic charm that stands out amidst standard straight bobs. Accessorize with a thick fabric headband across the crown to complete the vintage mod look effortlessly.
