If there’s one haircut that has proven to stand the tests of time, it’s the bob haircut. The short hairstyle doesn’t just work on straight hair, either; curly bob haircuts are a great, low-maintenance, statement-making look. A curly bob is a type of bob haircut for women with naturally curly hair. You can make most types of bobs work with such hair. The key is to give it the right shape for natural curls. And if you have curly hair, your curls can actually benefit from going shorter — without the extra weight at the ends, your curls have more spring, allowing them to really thrive. How to style a curly bob?

Try A Half-Up, Half-Down Hairstyle
People often mistake bob haircuts for being boring because they think they’re limited in terms of hairstyling options, but that’s not the case. Try the half-up topknot as a simple updo for short, curly hair. Just pull your hair up into a high ponytail on the top of your head and bring it through the elastic twice. On the second time through, bring your ponytail only halfway through, forming a knot. Then just pin the knot to your head.

Create Updos With Hair Accessories

If your curly bob is too short to tie up, you can also incorporate silk scarves or bandanas. When all else fails, buy some cute accessories such as barrettes or headbands to tie back your hair.
