For maintenance, use a sulfate-free shampoo like Pureology Hydrate Shampoo to preserve the balayage. A leave-in conditioner such as It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product will keep the hair moisturized and soft.
Inverted Reverse Bob
The inverted reverse bob is a more dramatic version of the classic cut, with a steeper angle from back to front. This haircut creates a bold and edgy look, perfect for women who want to make a statement. It suits oval and heart-shaped faces best.
To style, use a smoothing serum like John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum to keep the hair sleek. A flat iron can help maintain the sharp lines and angles of the cut.
Messy Reverse Bob
The messy reverse bob is perfect for those who prefer a relaxed and tousled look. This style embraces natural texture and can be easily achieved with minimal effort. It suits most face shapes and is particularly flattering for women with naturally wavy or curly hair.
To achieve the messy look, use a sea salt spray like TIGI Bed Head Queen Beach Salt Infused Texture Spray. Scrunch the hair while blow-drying to enhance the natural waves and texture.
Reverse Bob with Undercut
The reverse bob with an undercut adds an edgy twist to the traditional style. The undercut involves shaving or closely cropping the hair underneath, creating a stark contrast with the longer layers on top. This bold style is perfect for women who love to experiment with their look.
For styling, use a styling wax like American Crew Fiber to add texture and definition to the longer layers. Regular trims will keep the undercut sharp and defined.
Reverse Bob with Shaved Sides
Taking the undercut a step further, the reverse bob with shaved sides creates an ultra-modern and fierce look. This style involves shaving both sides of the head while leaving the top long and angled. It’s a daring haircut for women who want to stand out from the crowd.
To maintain the shaved sides, use a trimmer like Wahl Professional Peanut Clipper. A strong hold gel such as Got2b Ultra Glued Invincible Styling Gel will keep the longer top section in place.
Retro Reverse Bob
The retro reverse bob takes inspiration from vintage hairstyles, combining the classic bob shape with retro elements like finger waves or pin curls. This style is perfect for women who love a touch of nostalgia and glamour in their look.
To achieve a retro look, use a curling iron to create pin curls and set them with a setting spray like L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray. Finger waves can be created with a comb and styling gel.
Reverse Bob with Straight Across Bangs
Adding straight across bangs to a reverse bob creates a striking and bold look. The blunt bangs contrast beautifully with the angled cut, making this style perfect for women who want a distinctive and edgy haircut. It suits oval and long face shapes well.
To keep the bangs smooth and straight, use a flat iron and a heat protectant like CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray. A light hold hairspray such as TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray will keep the bangs in place without stiffness.
Reverse Bob with a Fringe
A fringe, or side bangs, adds a soft and feminine touch to the reverse bob. This style is versatile and can be adapted to suit various face shapes and hair types. It creates a flattering frame for the face and adds an element of elegance to the haircut.
