The past few years have seen short haircuts take the celebrity world by storm. From Carey Mulligan, Rachel McAdams and Emma Stone to Bella Hadid, Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lawrence, some of our favourite stars have rocked the bob. Whether it’s ruffled for an effortless just-out-of-bed look, or sleek, straight and sexy, we just keep coming back to this timeless classic. So, this got us thinking: why exactly do we love the bob haircut so much?
Are you ready for the ‘Bob’?It’s easy to manage
The great thing about the bob is that it requires so little maintenance to keep it looking fab. If you’re in a rush, you can simply ruffle it up with some mousse and get going. And, because it’s a short style, it’s quick to wash and doesn’t take long to blow dry. Basically, it’s a dream haircut for people who’d rather spend a little longer in bed than fussing over their hair!
It’s versatile
Bobs look incredible however you wear them, and can easily be transformed from a casual daytime do into a stunning evening look with just a bit of styling, a sweep of eyeshadow and a change of outfit. The bob is versatile enough to be worn super-straight, wavy or curly; with a side or middle parting; or with highlights, block colour or (our favourite) balayage.
It’s edgy yet elegant
The bob lets us let our hair down without going too wild. It is totally work appropriate, but gives us an edgy streak that we love. Plus, it can be glitzed up at a moment’s notice, or made even more distinctive with beautiful lavender or pink tones, or even hidden rainbow hair!
Not ready for a full bob?
If you don’t feel that you want to chop your luscious mid-length locks just yet, then you could consider the ‘faux bob’ – a style sported by celebrities such as Selena Gomez, Lea Michele, Emma Watson and Zooey Deschanel. The idea is to tuck the ends of your hair under and pin them in place to create the impression of the bob, without the chop.
So, there you have it, just some of the reasons we think the bob deserves to live forever!
