The cut: The Slicked-Back Bob
Celebrity inspiration: Kristen Stewart
What it looks like: "Girls who have bobs for a long time seem to be steering more toward this trend, whether slicked back or tucked behind the ears," Prendergast said. "It's an easy way to transform the bobs they cut last season into this look. It's also a great way to go into evening hair and also easy to tuck behind the ear."
What to ask for at the salon: "This look is more about product and figuring out how strong of a hold you need," she said. "It slicks back better if the ends of your hair aren't too thick." She suggests asking to thin out the ends.
Styling tip: Blow-dry the top back with a round brush and leave the sides smoothed back with either pomade or styling cream with hold. (Don't worry about blow-drying the sides to keep it flat.) This style is also amazing for day-two hair.
Maintenance: You can do this look with any length, and it's a great way to wear your hair between lengths and cuts.
