Scarlett Johansson’s new long bob hairstyle

We first saw these new long shattered bob hairstyles on Scarlett in the end of July. I have to admit, it’s not my favorite, but it is a new and unique bob hair cut with its tattered, uneven ends. Oribe seems to have started something here when you look at the following celebrities who have jumped on the band-wagon with the new bobs.

Who can wear these styles?
Oribe says it can look good on everybody. He says you can adapt the layering to fit your specific hair texture. If you have wavy hair he suggests cutting this less jagged so the line is still left strong. The back is cut slightly shorter than the sides.

Get the look:
If your hair is naturally wavy, just let it air-dry. You can use a volumizing spray or root lifter to add fullness like; TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Root Boost Spray If you have straighter hair, Oribe suggests using a volumizing spray and drying hair upside down without a hair dryer . If you want more curl, use a curling iron from the mid-shaft of your hair and leave the ends out. Leave some straightness to the hair to make it more modern. Here is another celebrity who just recently took the plunge into the new look.
