When it comes to a messy bob, you will want to use a large barrel curling iron always curling away from your face. If you want to create the most volume, use a volume mousse at the root and blow dry before styling. Finish with a texture or sea salt spray. A messy bob hairstyle is an increasingly popular take on a classic bob.

To style a messy bob in a way that feels fun and not too prim and proper, go for a slightly disheveled, carefree texture. To master the tousled bob, keep the ends straight and use a 1 1/2 inch curling iron to create a few loose curls. Then run fingers through the hair to separate the curls and create effortless waves.
