The bob haircut is a sure thing in hairdressing. As timeless as they are modern, they have conquered the hearts of beautistas of all generations. If wanting to adopt a bob is one thing, choosing the right model is another… Here’s everything you need to know to make up your mind.
Why go for a bob?
For several years now, bob haircuts have been the rage on the fashion and beauty planet. They’re the darling of girls who are on the lookout for the latest trends, and they have everything to please: a perfect compromise between a short cut and long hair, they give structure to the hair while energising the lengths. Other advantages are that they boost your looks and can be adapted to all hair types: curly, frizzy, straight, fine, thick…
On the other hand, the squares can be adapted endlessly according to the style, the desires and the morphology of the face. To achieve a stunning look, you just need to find the cut that suits you perfectly. And to help you decide, let’s take a look at the main bob haircut styles.
There’s a bob for every style
The short bob: the most stylish
The short bob is perfect for those who want to sport a boyish haircut without sacrificing all their length. Its little plus? It suits all face shapes and gives you a trendy and assertive look.
The long bob: the most structured
Elegant and feminine, the long bob is a structured mid-length cut. Once you’ve adopted it, you can do whatever you want with it, giving it many different effects: side-hair, tousled, wet look, wavy or even plated.
The sleek bob: the wisest
The sleek bob is a sober, ultra-chic cut that is easy to wear on a daily basis and for any occasion (work, home, evening, job interview…). It’s a great way to make a statement with simplicity.
The wavy bob: the most glamorous
Also known as the loose bob, the wavy bob adorns your hair with soft, wispy waves. It adds movement to your hair, giving you a casual look without losing any of your femininity.
The curly bob: the most voluminous
This bob maximizes the volume of the hair, giving it a sense of freedom. As for the curls, they give movement to the cut and enhance the roundness of the face to perfection.
The plunging bob: the most daring
This is without doubt the most sensual bob. Thanks to its asymmetrical effect – with longer locks in front – the plunging bob structures the face while revealing the nape of the neck in a sexy way.
The layered bob: the most dynamic
The layered bob boosts the volume of the hair and makes it more dynamic and light. This cut allows for quick styling in the morning and is therefore perfect for women in a hurry who want to stay stylish.
The tapered bob: the most rocking
Done with a razor or notched scissors, the tapered bob lightens the hair mass at the lengths and ends to create an unstructured effect. This cut is ideal if you want to rock your hair.
The fringed bob: the most retro
The fringed bob highlights the face by framing it in a structured way. Indeed, the fringe (preferably long) allows you to emphasize the look and sublimate the contours. Not to mention giving a retro and regressive touch to the look.
Do you wear sophisticated, colourful or very graphic glasses? Opt for a haircut with clean lines, such as a bob or a tapered mid-length. This will create a nice harmony. On the other hand, if you have a rather classic pair of glasses, don’t hesitate to opt for a more dynamic and graphic haircut such as a short bob, a mid-length bob, a layered bob or even a long bob.
So, which of these inspiring and trendy bobs will you choose?
