Selena Gomez proves that the flipped bob is the best way to grow short hair

In mid-March, the Wizards of Waverly Place Star proved that all it takes to keep a bob looking fresh at any length is volume and bounce. First, she went for a moment mad Men Look for Austin for South by Southwest (SXSW), which appears in a panel wearing a ruffled red dress, sheer black tights, and a black jacket. Like her AFI look, Gomez’s hair was styled in a sleek, bouncy lob, with the age-old side part that many celebrities are eager to revive.

Around the same time, she gave the look a little more va-va-voom with a sleeker bang and 2010s-inspired side bangs to boyfriend benny white‘the birthday of. Earlier this week, Gomez’s best friend, Nicola Peltz Beckham shared several photos of Gomez’s red fur coat (someone please do a welfare check on Clifford).
