17. The Sleek-Root Curly Bob
For a high-fashion, editorial contrast, the sleek-root curly bob is a stunning option. This style involves smoothing down the roots of your hair with a strong-hold gel or pomade, while allowing the mid-lengths and ends to burst into their natural, voluminous curly texture right around the chin. This creates a beautiful, structured dual-texture look.
This style is perfect for second or third-day hair when your roots might need a little taming. Simply apply gel to your roots, brush them flat with a boar bristle brush, and secure them behind your ears, letting the rest of your curls bounce freely. It is a sophisticated, modern look that is perfect for both the office and a night out.
