How to Style a Preppie Bob Hairstyle

Print this articleThe preppy fashion trend is marked by a neat and polished look. Girls who want to sport a preppy appearance tend to have a natural look without lots of jewelry, high heels or makeup. The style has roots that trace to the days of private university preparatory schools in New England, according to Beauty Hill. It first gained mainstream popularity in the 1950s. The look has evolved into a classic style that never falls completely out of fashion. Another component to the preppy fashion is the proper hairstyle. Sleek, straight hairstyles are most commonly associated with the preppy trend and the classic bob haircut can be transformed to fit the look in a matter of minutes.

Wash and condition your hair. Towel-dry it. Separate the hair into sections and partially blow-dry it. For extra volume at the roots, bend over and flip your hair over your head while drying.

2

Add a dime-sized amount of smoothing hair cream or serum to your damp hair. Work the product in with your hands so that it is evenly distributed.

3

Flip the ends of the hair inside or outside as you finish drying it, using a round brush. Ensure that the hair lies flat.

4

Divide the hair into sections. Smooth it with a flat iron to get a super-sleek, polished look. Keep the iron moving through your hair so the edges do not burn.

5

Part the hair in the center or slightly to one side, using a fine-tooth comb. Ensure the part is straight from front to back, without zigzags.

6

Finish the look by adding a simple headband or ribbon to pull your hair away from your face. You can also experiment with other girly hair accessories such as barrettes, decorative bobby pins or bows.
