Rihanna Curly Concave Bob


Added: 30 Jun 2007
Rihanna used her appearance at the 2007 BET awards to show off the different ways her very sexy concave bob can be styled. For this cute look, the top of her hair was left flatter, which is great for shortening the look of a longer face shape, and the hair around the sides of her face featured soft and bouncy curls for a great formal look and to also adds shape to a long, thin face shape. The tight curls add volume and body to this look, which is needed with a flat top of her hair. The parting down the left side allows her hair to fall across her eyes and frame her eye and cheekbone area well. This concave bob is best suited for those with an oval, oblong, diamond, and square face shape due to the cut and the curls. You can have any hair density with this style, as your hair will not be long enough for the curls, not the hold well if your hair is thick. Do not forget to apply hairspray once you are done styling so that you can lock in those curls and keep this hairstyle in place.

When it comes to your makeup application, you can keep it simple, as there is a lot going on with this hairstyle. Do a basic makeup application paired with a thin wing liner or natural false lashes. Finish off your makeup application with a nude or pastel lipstick color.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.


step 4

Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.


step 5

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


step 6

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


step 7

Apply a small amount of gel-wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


step 8

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
