The wavy bob was the top style worn by women in the 1920s. It has recently been brought back to life and is now the "it" hairstyle favored by many top celebrities. If you are considering a similar bob, or have this short, textured hairdo already, check out these hairstyles to try.
Asymmetric
Kristen Stewart dons an asymmetric wavy bob. Create a deep side part, slick back the hair with your favorite hair gel, and apply some texturizing spray. For the hair gel, try BedHead's TIGI Manipulator, $8.71, and for the wavy texturizing spray, try OUAI's Texturizing Hair Spray, $26.
Mixed Textures
This hairstyle, worn by Dianna Agron, incorporates both wavy and straight strands for a mixed-texture wavy bob. Use a flat iron on the bangs and take random strands to curl and straighten. Before you do any of this, make sure you use a heat-protecting spray generously. A great product to try is John Frieda's Heat Defeat Protecting Spray, $5.50.

Fringe
Add a full, flirtatious fringe to this season's "it" hairstyle, like Felicity Jones. Spray on heat-protecting spray and blow-dry your bangs with a round brush. Set the entire look with a trusted hairspray, like Ouidad's Curl Last Flexible-Hold Hairspray, $10.
Edgy Rockstar
Add more of a choppy, messy texture to your wavy bob to make this iconic hairstyle even more distinctive. Julianne Hough rocks this look like a pro. To style, use a combination of waving at the middle of the hair shaft and straightening at the ends.
Middle Part
Lilly Collins dons this easy-to-achieve wavy style. It is parted down the middle and gets more textured at the ends. Blow-dry your hair as usual with a round brush, part it down the middle, and use a wand to create easy waves at the middle and end of the hair shaft.
Middle Part With Voluminous Waves
Jessica Biel sports a middle-parted bob with voluminous, defined waves. To style, blow-dry your hair, put in heat protectant and frizz-taming serum, part down the middle, and use a curling iron to get those tight tendrils. For a great anti-frizz serum, try BLOWPRO's Weather Girl Anti-Frizz Serum, $22.
Side-Bang
Copy Reese Witherspoon and create curls that go away from the face with a deep side part and side bang. To style, curl outward from the face after blow drying, then set with hairspray.
Vintage
Obtaining this Rachel McAdams look is simple and can be achieved with hair rollers, hairspray, and anti-frizz serum. Apply heatless rollers and anti-frizz serum in wet hair or use heated rollers and leave them in for about an hour and a half.
Textured Bangs
This Taylor Swift bob incorporates an all-over voluminous, wavy style with equally textured side bangs. You can use a hair wand to achieve this look.
