How To Flip A Bob?
Flipping your hair is easy, especially if it’s already straight. After you blow dry as usual, go through each section with a flat iron and flick those ends up just as you did with the round brush. To train your hair to do that, curve the ends upward, next time it will be easier to style. The more retro look you want, the larger the ends should be.

How To Accent A Flipped Bob?
A flipped bob can be accented in various ways, needless to say that it’s good for parties by itself. You can also slick it back or give it a wet effect for a more dramatic look. The longer your bob is, the most things you can do with it, for example, style it as a half updo or a side-swept half updo.

A statement or embellished headband is also a great solution, and some bright hairpins on one side will make it wow.
