There are many different kinds of bob haircuts but the “bubble bob” is a classic simple style that is easy to take care of and looks like a bubble. How you style the bubble bob is more important than how you cut it.
There is a lot of focus on volume and bounce, which makes it similar to other high-volume cuts like the a-line bob. We talked to a professional hairstylist to find out who this bob looks best on, how to ask your stylist for it, and how to style it at home for the best results.
What is the bobble bob?
Like other bobs, the bubble bob can be different lengths, layers and angles. Salon owner Nunzio Saviano says, “A bubble bob is bigger and rounder than other bob styles, and it has bounce and fullness all over.” “It’s a lot like a bubble.”
Saviano says that the bubble bob looks good on most face shapes but it looks best on oval or heart-shaped faces. A longer length that goes below the chin can make your face look longer and is better for round face shapes.
This cut is usually styled straight so it might be easier to work with on a daily basis if your hair is straight. You can wear this cut with curly, wavy, or air-dried hair, though. Saviano says the cut “works best on medium to thick hair to make it look fuller and bouncier.” But if you put in a little extra work, thin hair can also pull off this look.

How to Tell Your Hairstylist What Cut You Want
Find out what shape your face is and how long you want your hair to be before you go to the salon. Saviano says, “Most importantly ask the hairstylist what the best length is for your face shape and if your hair texture can achieve that look.”
If you have fine hair tell your stylist to add soft invisible layers to the cut. A blunt cut all over with feathered edges can give the hair a little more volume and help it fall into a more bubble-like shape.

Saviano says you should also ask your stylist how much time it will take to style and care for your hair based on your hair type. The stylist can tell you what to expect because the cut might look very different after you wash it and let it air dry the first time. If you didn’t plan on blow-drying your hair every morning, this could be upsetting.
How to Style and Care for a Bubble Bob
This bob needs some styling to make the bubble shape stronger You can let it air dry and wear it more naturally but it won’t have the same volume or effect as when you style it with heat.
To dry your hair naturally tuck the front pieces behind your ears. This will give them a rounded shape. You can also use Velcro rollers while your hair is still damp and let it dry that way.
Saviano says, “Rollers are great for styling a bubble bob They work best for volume that lasts.” Use a round brush and a blow dryer to get the main lift, then finish with rollers.
Saviano says, “To start use a volumising mousse all over dry with a round brush and then use hot rollers or Velcro rollers to set the volume For this look, a strong hair spray is your best friend.” When you blow dry your hair, flip it upside down and blow dry the roots to add volume.
Getting your hair cut every four to six weeks will keep the ends from wanting to turn outwards, but you can wait longer between cuts and still get the same bubble effect with hot tools or rollers.
