Angled Bob Hairstyle

The angled bob is a modern day twist to the old classic bob. This hairstyle gives a softer look to the faces of the women. With the fringe in the front, it also gives a sexy and a naughty look to all women. Recently celebrities like Rihanna, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham have been seen sporting this look.

Before getting this haircut, the hair should be shampooed and condition. It can be towel dried or blow dried for the effect. Before styling the hair, the hair dresser should put some styling gel; this will help to smoothen out the rough edges too. Taking slim sections from the back, the hair is cut at an angle of 45 degrees to give it a textured look. The hair is cut till the nape of the neck.
