Modern Celebrity Takes on the Classic Bob Haircut

Olivia Munn ,The combination of an uneven, slightly off-center part and soft, shiny waves creates easy elegance. Curl a few sections of hair with a large-barreled curling iron or take advantage of your natural wave. Part hair, tousle and mist with light-hold hairspray.

The pageboy is a classic bob, only with bangs. Dianna Agron takes on this ageless 'do and kicks it up a notch. Razored to create extreme layers and a ton of texture, she's got a look that requires only a minimum amount of effort for maximum style. To recreate Dianna's look at home, tip head upside down while blow-drying, then ruffle with fingers and mist with a light-hold hairspray.

Cate's short bob has lots of layers that have been well-blended to create softness, allowing hair to flow rather than just move. Her bangs, swept across her forehead, are effortlessly incorporated into the layers. To style, blow-dry damp hair using a round brush to create smoothness, a slight bend at the ends and volume in the crown. Little or no styling products are needed.

Keira Knightley's geometric cut has remained popular since Vidal Sassoon first created it in the 1960s. This bob is precisely layered in the back to create more movement and lift through the crown. The front sections are cut at a slight angle, creating a perfect frame for her face and curving just under the jaw line. To style, blow-dry hair using a round brush and spritz with spray-shine.

Milla Jovovich's bob is slightly graduated at the neckline with subtly angled sides. It can be worn smooth and face-framing, or with a little volume and texture for a bit of edginess. To create Milla's sweeping bangs, blow-dry with a round brush, pulling hair away from the face. A little backcombing through the crown and a medium-hold hairspray provide the finishing touches.

Brooklyn Decker's 'do is a slightly modified version of the classic bob.  By adding more layers and a lot of texture with swipes of a straight razor, she gets more movement and volume without having to overload on gels, creams or hairspray. It's an easy length to straighten with either a flat-iron or blow-dry with a round brush. To finish, use a small amount of styling product for added texture and light hold.

Keri Hilson's unexpected take on a classic is completely original. Her choppy, face-framing layers and full bangs are heavily razored with a longer, one-inch section left at collar-bone length. Style with a flat-iron to get hair completely straight and smooth. Then, add texturizing product or plenty of light-hold hairspray to define your layers.
