It’s important to ask questions about styling after any haircut – but bobs are pretty versatile, so be sure to ask your stylist about the different looks you can achieve.

For session stylist and salon owner Adam Reed, it’s important to keep the hair healthy and shiny, no matter how you plan to style it.

“Depending on the finish and look you’re going for, using an oil and a primer is absolutely key as it gives you a great base and foundation to work from, while also giving you the all-important shine and gloss,” he says. He favours The Good Habit Hybrid Oil, £14, and The Prologue Hair Primer, £13, from his own product range, Arkive Headcare.
