How do you style a bob with a bubble flip?
That’s easy. A bob or long bob with a bubble flip is quick to achieve with a flat iron (or a large round brush) and a hair dryer. This is how you do it: after washing, work styling mousse through hair. This ensures that the flip will hold. If you’re styling your flip with a round brush, first blow dry hair until almost dry. Then divide hair into sections, roll them around the brush, hold and blow dry. Before unrolling, blast with cold air. Finally, fix with hair spray.
If you use a flat iron, dry your hair completely beforehand. After washing, work through styling mousse and also apply heat protection spray to ends when dry. Divide hair into sections and twist ends around the flat iron. Carefully unroll, let cool and fix with hairspray.
Who can wear a long bob with a bubble flip?
Cool combination: a lob with a bubble flip combined with a bright yellow print.
The bubble flip is great for women with fine hair, lending extra dimension to their tresses. To prevent the look becoming too conservative – or too girly – combine it with a uniquely stylish outfit: try a bold pattern or bright colors.
