Hair trends come and go, but the timeless allure of the bob haircut remains steadfast. And now, the resurgence of the 90s supermodel bob exemplifies its enduring popularity. Also dubbed the flipped bob or “flob,” the 90s supermodel bob seamlessly merges Winona Ryder’s bombshell blowout texture with the effortless elegance of Christy Turlington’s bobs. This trend back in style not only looks incredibly chic but also boasts practicality.
According to celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena, the key to achieving the perfect 90s supermodel bob lies in its barely-there layers. Mena emphasizes the importance of super-light layers to ensure the desired flip and volume. A well-executed hair flip not only adds body but also molds the hair cuticle, lending even more volume and movement to the style.
This low-maintenance hairstyle signals a departure from high-maintenance trends, encouraging women to embrace their natural hair and indulge in playful styling. Plus, its easy restyling capabilities make it a hassle-free option for busy individuals.
To achieve optimal volume and texture with your 90s supermodel bob, Mena recommends starting with volumizing shampoo and conditioner, followed by the application of mousse to wet hair. Then, using a blow-dryer and round flat brush or blow-dry brush, style the hair to perfection. Set the hair in rollers to enhance movement and allow it to set while you finish your routine.
To complete the look, spritz texturizing spray on the roots and apply a light and flexible hairspray all over. Brush through with a vent brush for a fluffy, voluminous finish that’s runway-ready.
