Bob haircuts embrace a timeless fashion trend from the time it was introduced in 1909 by a famous Antonine hairdresser in Paris. Although the cut was not popular for a few years, in the 1920s popularity rose to great heights to symbolize the freedom enjoyed by women. Since then, this beautiful hairstyle is considered a sign of women’s freedom.
The traditional bob hairstyle is a short, sleek haircut that gracefully covers the ears and reaches somewhere between the chin and the shoulders. With the changing trend, the basic cut remained the same, but various changes began to grace this beautiful haircut. Today, well-known hairdressers and fashion stars are innovating new trends and styles to further embellish the bob haircut.
The main advantage of this modern haircut is that it can be well combined with any hair type, hair color or shape, and the best thing is that it can suit women of all ages. Aside from this, the growing popularity is attributed to the rising status of women in the business world. This is mainly because it is easy to shape and manage this hairstyle without spending extra time on combing and styling.
In today’s fashion scene, bobs come in various types, suiting both classic and modern trends. The traditional or classic trend includes the basic types like short, chin length and long bobs. Short bobs that are cut in a blunt style with layers to give fine hair a bouncy and bouncy look. Chin-length bobs are cut to the jawline and are slightly shorter in the back. This type is more suitable for round faces as it gives a sleek and longer look to the facial structure. Long bobs are cut in subtle layers and are best suited to round or oval facial structures.
The classic cut is infused with western influences and styling to give original bobs a modern look. Today, the inverted bob and angled bob follow the trend of bob haircuts. In giving the inverted bob, the hair is stacked with textured layers at the back to give more volume and texture to the crown, while in the case of the angled bob, the hair is cut evenly at an angle leaving a portion of the longer hair on forehead. These two types give an elegant and chic look with any type of dress anywhere and on any occasion.
Apart from these, there are wavy, spiky, mod and asymmetrical bob haircuts that are also part of the current fashion trends. Wavy bob hairstyles are cut evenly at the neckline and are extremely easy to maintain. Spiky bob haircuts are cut extremely short in the back and long on the textured sides. Mod bobs are textured haircuts that are accentuated with strong bangs. The asymmetrical bob style is a completely different hairstyle without symmetry, as the hairs are cut in a way that one side of the haircut has shorter or longer hairs than the other side.
All of these different types are very popular even among well-known celebrities. In addition to the existing types, beginners and artists further manipulate the style and cut in the desired way to add more vibrancy and elegance to their haircut. These haircuts are then added to the types of bobs that follow the hair fashion trends.
