Adding curls to short hair will inevitably make it look shorter, whether they are loose beach waves or super tight spirals. However, curls have the ability to bring sophistication as well as a fun and lively vibe to your appearance. Since curling shorter hair can be more challenging, it's helpful to look into the two different approaches you could take to curling your bob.
One option involves using a wand and simply wrapping small sections of your hair around it. Since there isn't much length, you'll likely only get a single spiral but that's part of the charm. This technique will leave you with a lower curl and a little less body overall. If you want to keep that chin length while adding some bounce to your bob, this would be an amazing technique.
The other option is to try curling your bob with a flat iron. This approach can be a little tricky to master but the curls tend to provide more volume and last longer throughout the day. Basically, once you clamp a piece of your hair from the top, you'll simply pull down and rotate the flat iron back. Practicing with your flat iron off can help you get the technique down and learn how to use your straightener on your hair without causing damage. Plus, spending a little extra time will be worth it once you see the results.
