Asymmetrical

“A slanted bob has such a fresh, youthful feel,” says celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble. It removes some weight from heavy hair, giving strands extra bounce and movement.

■ WHAT TO ASK FOR: A bob that's slightly longer on one side than the other with choppy layers through the ends for added texture.

■ STYLE TIP: After styling hair, work a pea-sized amount of a lightweight smoothing hair serum, such as Color Wow Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish Serum (Sephora.com), from mid-lengths to ends. This tames frizz and flyaways and locks in shine, so the cut's sleek, angled shape stays looking sharp from day to night.

Bouncy

Adding layers through the mid-lengths and ends gives a bob incredible bounce and body. Plus, these soft, graduated layers frame the face beautifully, making your features the star of the show.
