Hair Basics: Styling A Bob

    Bobs are a versatile and flattering short hair cut. And with the right hair styling tips, you can get your bob cut looking sleek and stylish -- and as good as any celebrity's.

    Hair stylist Danielle Caputo shares easy tips about the best way to tame the puff and bring out your cut.

    Peter Buckingham

    Use a fine tooth comb to separate out a vertical section of hair. Spritz it with a heat protecting spray to hold the style and help make hair shinier.

    Peter Buckingham

    Go over the section of hair with a flat iron, combing through the section with a comb as you apply the heat.

    TIP: Opt for a heat-resistant comb, so it does not melt under the heat of the flat iron.

    Peter Buckingham

    Use this method with the rest of the hair, dividing it into sections and smoothing with a flattening iron, using a comb to straighten and separate strands.

    Peter Buckingham

    Now, you have a nice sleek bob. But for an edgier, more piece-y look, Caputo suggests applying a little bit of styling wax the the ends of the hair.

    Peter Buckingham

    Apply a flat iron to the tip of the hair where you've used styling wax, to create extra texture.

    Peter Buckingham

    Work a little wax through the end of the bangs, and go over the area with a straightening iron.

    Peter Buckingham

    Now, you have a sleek, stylish bob - in no time!

YUK! For someone who has STRAIGHT LIMP THIN HAIR ... boo hoo for having a 'little puff' ....

I dare any hairstylist to give my hair 'body' ... I've actually had one cry over my hair .. she tried so hard and it did nothing.

So stop focusing on the people who really don't have a prob and do MORE for the people that really do!

Does anyone notice that the model in the first shot looks skinnier in the second shot?
