Emma Stone's perfectly waved bob remains a gold standard for red carpet elegance. Her hairstylist reveals the practical secrets behind the look, from prep to hold, that let the waves stay smooth, defined, and effortlessly chic all day. If you're chasing a similar style, follow these step by step tips and product recommendations to recreate the iconic waved bob at home. Key steps to recreate the look: - Start with clean, conditioned hair and apply a heat protectant and a lightweight styling product to add texture without weighing hair down. - Choose the right tools: a 1-inch curling iron or a wand and a round brush for lift at the crown. - Create waves by curling small sections away from the face, holding for 8 to 12 seconds, and alternating direction for a natural, lived-in finish. - Break the waves gently with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, then mist with a flexible hold styling spray or texture spray to create separation and grip. - Finish with a light shine serum or a touch of dry oil for polish, then set with a light hold hairspray to maintain movement without stiffness. Tips for different hair types: - Fine hair: focus on volume at the crown with careful backcombing and a volumizing mousse before curling. - Thick or coarse hair: work in smaller sections and use a high heat setting and a strong hold product to keep the shape. - For all hair colors: consider a shine serum to combat dryness and keep the waves looking vibrant. Maintenance and care: - Refresh waves between washes with a dry shampoo that adds texture. - Trim the ends every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the bob shape crisp. With the right technique, tools, and products, you can achieve the same glamorous waved bob that Emma Stone wears on red carpets, plus tips to adapt the style to your own hair type and lifestyle.
