We’ve seen all kinds of bob popping up, both cuts and styling trends. Curious to know what hair trends are big in right now? Baroque bobs! This iteration is all about glamour and body, soft yet sculpted voluminous curls.
What Is The Baroque Bob?
The Baroque bob is a fancy bob haircut that gives your hair a cool, detailed shape. The way you style it is even more important than the cut itself. Inspired by the fancy hairstyles from the Baroque period, this bob is detailed, stylish, and really stands out.
This haircut sits above your shoulders and has a heavy line around the bottom. It might have layers, but the key feature is the big, bouncy curls. Medium to thick hair works best for this style because it gives you the fullness you need, and any hair texture can be styled to look great.
Variations of the Baroque Bob
It a versatile hairstyle that can be adapted to suit different hair types, lengths, and personal styles. Here are some variations you can try:
Short Baroque Bob
The short bob is perfect for those who want a chic, low-maintenance look. This variation sits just below the ears and features the signature big, bouncy curls. It’s great for people with fine hair because the curls add volume and fullness. Use a small round brush when blow-drying to help create tighter, more defined curls. Finish with a strong hold hairspray to keep the curls in place all day.
Shoulder-Length Baroque Bob
If you prefer a bit more length, the shoulder-length Baroque bob is a great option. This version falls just above the shoulders and has a slightly more relaxed vibe while still maintaining the glamorous curls. Blow dry your hair in larger sections to create softer, more flowing curls. A lightweight mousse can help keep the volume without weighing your hair down.
Layered Baroque Bob
For added texture and movement, try a layered bob. This variation includes subtle layers throughout the hair, giving it more dimension and a slightly tousled look. It’s perfect for thicker hair as the layers help manage the volume. Use a texturizing spray before blow-drying to enhance the layers and add a bit of grit for that effortlessly stylish look.
Asymmetrical Baroque Bob
The asymmetrical bob adds a modern twist to this classic style. With one side longer than the other, it creates an edgy, fashion-forward look while still featuring the signature curls. This variation works well on all hair types. Focus on creating defined curls on the longer side to emphasize the asymmetry. Use a curling iron to touch up any areas that need more definition.
Wavy Baroque Bob
If you prefer a more relaxed version of the bob, the wavy variation is for you. Instead of tight curls, this style features loose, beachy waves that still offer plenty of volume and movement. Use a large barrel curling iron to create loose waves, and then gently brush them out for a softer look. A sea salt spray can help achieve that perfect wavy texture.
Curly Baroque Bob with Bangs
Add a fun twist to your Baroque bob by incorporating bangs. Curly bangs can frame your face beautifully and add an extra element of style to your look. This variation works best with medium to thick hair. Blow dry your bangs separately using a small round brush to create a gentle curl. Make sure to blend them seamlessly with the rest of your curls for a cohesive look.
Colored Baroque Bob
Add some flair to your bob with a splash of color. Whether you opt for highlights, balayage, or a bold, all-over color, adding some hues can make your hairstyle stand out even more. Choose colors that complement your skin tone and personal style. Regular touch-ups will keep your color looking fresh and vibrant.
How To Maintain A Baroque Bob?
To keep your Baroque bob looking good, regular maintenance is important. You usually need a trim every six to eight weeks for a regular bob. But with a Baroque bob, you can let it grow a bit longer, just above your shoulders, as long as you keep the big, bouncy curls.
How To Achieve A Baroque Bob?
To style a Baroque bob, you’ll need products that add volume and hold. Start with wet, towel-dried hair. Spray a heat protectant to add shine and protect your hair from heat. Next, use products that thicken and volumize your hair. Blow dry your hair in sections using a big round brush. Clip each section of curls in place to add volume and hold.
Once your curls are completely cool, take out the clips. To add the final touch, tip your head upside down and gently brush out your curls with a boar bristle brush. This will give your hair a bit more volume.
Finally, choose how you want to part your hair. For more definition, use a curling iron to curl your hair under and away from your face. Finish with a flexible hold hairspray.
There you go! Now you have a stylish and glamorous Baroque bob!
