Actress Vanessa Hudgens looks fabulous with her short-length messy waves of hair. This hairstyle is very easy – simply blow-dry hair with a round brush for extra volume, and then use a curling wand to create subtle waves. Wrap large sections of hair around the curling iron on low heat, and then brush out the loose curls for natural looking waves. Pair this hairstyle with dewy, glowing skin and natural makeup for best results.

The actress also had left her long curly hair behind and opted for a bouncy, tousled bob. This is a gorgeous hairstyle for thick hair, and it also works particularly well for naturally curly or wavy hair. For a night out, you can use a curling iron to give your tousled bob extra vivacity.

If anyone can influence us to try the angular bob trend, it’s the sexy Victoria Beckham, who loves to experiment with different hairstyles. The talented songbird and fashionista looks amazing with this blonde asymmetrical bob that complements her beautiful eyes. Short at the back and long in the front, this sophisticated look works particularly well for round faces, as it frames the face beautifully by creating the illusion of a longer face.

Style the look by naturally drying your hair. Then, apply a dime of smoothing serum. Next, take small sections and smooth them out with your hair straightener. After all sections have been smoothed out, apply a bit of mousse or hairspray to accentuate your angular bob.
