How to style a bob haircut: 3 stylish ways to style your hair with accessories
Short hair or a bob offer a modern, easy-to-maintain look, but many people think it limits styling options. The truth? With the right hair accessories, you can create a variety of elegant styles suitable for any occasion. Discover three simple and stylish ways to style your short hair using accessories such as barrettes, clips, and hair ties.
Half ponytail — chic and practical
The half-up ponytail is an ideal solution for short or medium-length hair. It allows you to clear your face while maintaining a refined look.
How to do it:
- Section off the top half of your hair, from your temples to the back of your head.
- Secure them with a barrette or clip.
- For clips, choose size S so they hold short strands well.
- For barrettes, most models are suitable, but we recommend medium or small models like the Piercing barrette S or Pearl barrettes for an elegant and light style.
Low ponytail — minimalist yet structured
Even with a short haircut, it is possible to create a low ponytail that stays in place thanks to the right accessories.
How to do it:
- Gather your hair back into a small, low ponytail.
- Secure with an elastic band or a small, sturdy barrette.
Recommended accessories:
- Piercing Elastic : discreet and elegant support.
- Small Piercing S barrette: ideal for a subtle low ponytail.
- Curved Piercing Barrette : provides a structured and refined effect.
This hairstyle is perfect for a long bob or a tapered bob, and works great for a professional or casual look.
Side barrette - easy accessorizing
A side-swept barrette isn't really a hairstyle, but it does help accessorize and structure a short cut. It's a quick fix for holding back a stray strand or adding a touch of style.
How to do it:
- Choose a front or side part.
- Secure it with a thin or decorative barrette.
- Recommended models: the thin Eyelets barrette or the small Shell barrette.
This technique is ideal for an instantly chic look, and it works on all variations of bob or short cuts, including the short bob or pixie cut.
Bonus: Tips for enhancing your short hair with accessories
- Vary the textures: Barrettes with gold ornaments, or with pearls, or even rhinestones depending on the occasion.
- Adjust the size: Accessories that are too large can weigh down a short cut.
- Combine styles: A half-up ponytail + side barrette gives a modern, polished look in seconds.
- Take care with placement: For a professional effect, place the clips at the base of the strand or slightly to the side to clear the face.
In summary
With a short cut or a bob, the possibilities are endless if you use the right hair accessories.
- Half-ponytail: chic and quick
- Low ponytail: minimalist but structured
