The basic bob haircut came to us from the innovative Flapper short bob, started by trendy young women in the 1920’s. They cast off their corsets and ‘bobbed’ their long hair, to show their independence from tradition and create a new, modern identity for women. So it has a great pedigree!

Freedom

The freedom you gain from a bob is great and these days the bob haircut is still one of the most popular hairstyles in short, medium and long length hair. And no matter what your personal fashion style is, you can emphasise it by wearing a matching bob haircut!

Short bob haircuts

The basic short bob can be cut in lengths that finish at ear-lobe level, for a sparky, cute look or at chin-level, which is a length that suits almost every face shape and age range!

What’s hot?

For this season, the angled bob, inverted bob and stacked bob haircuts are leading the high fashion trends. These haircuts are very easy to style and yet look totally smart and professional, for those who enjoy being well-groomed at work and elegant when off-duty.

Curly bobs

Curly bobs can add a wonderful touch of youth and light-hearted style to any woman and with pretty, textured tips and a side-swept fringe produce a soft and feminine look.

Face-enhancing bobs

Round faces can be slimmed down and enhanced by a severe bob cut with strong, asymmetrical lines to counteract the curves in the face. And long faces can be made to look shorter with a chin-length bob haircut that has lots of smooth rounded volume at the sides.

Balancing bangs

Moreover, you can use a bob cut with a deep fringe to balance a long face or a swept-back no-fringe bob to open up a small face or a low forehead. Blunt cut full bangs give a strong, dramatic appearance which will put lots of focus on your eyes.

Cyber-punk choppy!

A short choppy fringe with the edge looking almost ‘ragged’, gives a super-trendy futuristic cyber-punk look. And a sharply angled long, graduated fringe is the perfect way to draw attention away from a full face.
