Pamela Anderson returns to OTT glam look with a heavily styled 'flippy bob'

A few years ago, Pamela Anderson broke the internet (soz Kim K) with an admission: she was no longer to get glam. (That involved avoiding having her hair and makeup done, for the most part.) Now, however, she's only gone and returned to the glamour with an OTT hairstyle inspired by 1950s Old Hollywood. Enter: the flippy bob.
Last week [17 July], Pamela was spotted out and about in New York City and although makeup-free, her hair has been heavily styled into a bob with barrel-shaped, flipped-out ends. The chin-length 'do is defined by bounce, volume and, just like Marilyn Monroe had, a side parting.
Oh, and to capitalise on the drama of this look, Pam even had an outfit change. First, she stepped out wearing a striking royal blue set consisting of a tie-neck blouse and pencil skirt, and then, she wore a boat-neck long sleeve top paired with a turquoise embellished skirt.
Perhaps my favourite shampoo to date, this formula not only smells divine but effortlessly adds body and volume to super fine strands, without feeling heavy or clunky.
Top with the co-ordinating FABLE & MANE Volumizing Conditioner for voluminous yet silky strands like no other.
On damp hair, add your volumising mousse of choice. This one is super affordable and adds bounce and texture sans-the crunch.
One of the most integral steps for achieving a bouffant bob: the blowdry brush. This one from Drybar is a firm Cosmo fave; it's super easy to use and adds the perfect amount of curve to strands.
Finish with a dry hold spray for a long-lasting style. This one is perfect for fine hair and is often used by Khloé Kardashian!
While not essential, a backcombing brush as such is great for fluffing up any limp locks. From the ends to the root, comb backwards and smooth over once happy with the volume.
As Pam shows, there's more to glamour than just makeup. Time to take a hairstyling 101 crash course...Follow Lia on Instagram.
