How to Style a Bob in 2025: Sleek, Wavy & Everything In Between

bobShort hair is having a renaissance and the bob is leading the charge. In 2025, this timeless cut is sharper, cooler, and infinitely more wearable. Whether worn ultra-sleek, softly tousled or flipped with attitude, the modern bob isn’t just a haircut, it’s a statement. One that demands the right styling tools to truly shine. Enter the Infrared Styler, Blow Dry Brush, and Spin. These aren’t just tools, they’re your shortcut to a better bob.

Choosing the Right Bob for You

From Parisian inspired French bobs to ultra blunt cuts and feathered lobs, the bob is no longer one-size-fits-all. It’s a shape-shifting silhouette tailored to your texture, aesthetic and lifestyle. For a low-maintenance finish with edge, opt for a blunt cut. Want effortless movement? Go layered. The beauty of the bob lies in its versatility and your personal take makes it your own.

The Tools That Make the Look

Styling a bob is all about precision and the right technology. Mermade’s styling suite combines salon-grade performance with hair-first innovation.

Infrared Thermal Brush

Infused with Infrared heat technology, this straightener styles from the inside out, meaning less surface damage, more hydration and serious shine. Sealing in moisture while reducing frizz.

Interchangeable Blow Dry Brush

A multitasking hero. This all-in-one tool dries, volumises, and smooths in a single pass. Custom bristles and ionic airflow mean faster styling with a smoother, fuller finish especially ideal for shorter lengths.

Spin

Short hair, styled smarter. This rotating curling tool creates flawless waves and flicks with the touch of a button. No wrist gymnastics required. Just clamp, spin, and reveal that soft, sculpted shape.

Three Bob Styles to Know Now

1. The Sleek Bob (aka Glass Hair)

Glossy, sharp and editorially clean. This look is all about shine and control. Use the Infrared Styler to smooth hair from root to tip with a single glide. Its Infrared heat seals the cuticle and boosts hydration, creating that high-gloss effect. Part it down the centre for a minimalist look.

2. Soft Bends

Airy, off-duty and endlessly wearable. Let the Spin do the work. Its rotating barrel effortlessly adds soft, loose waves that frame the face and create movement without looking overdone. For the perfect finish: shake it out and add a mist of texture spray.

3. The Flipped Out Ends

A retro revival with a modern edge. Reach for the Blow Dry Brush to sculpt ends outward as you dry. The curved barrel and bristle tension create that signature flick while adding volume and lift through the crown. Style with a deep side part and gold hoops for an instant cool look.

Why Heat Tech Matters More on Short Hair

Short hair leaves no room to hide damage. That’s why styling tools matter. Mermade’s heat technology ensures even heat distribution, minimal stress on strands, and long-term hair health. So even when you're going full glam, your bob stays strong, shiny and soft to the touch.
