Get that Mod Celebrity Look! Ask for a Modern Bob Haircut Today
In pop culture, the bob haircut has been making women fashionable
since the 1920s. Throughout the years, the bob cut hairstyle has been
shortened, curled, extended, twisted and even inverted. Out of the many
hairstyles available today, the bob is probably the most flexible of all
styles. The bob hair style remains a favorite hair trend because of the
fact that it could fit almost anyone regardless of face shapes, can be
done with or without highlights and can work well with or without bangs.
Modern bob hairstyles also suit any hair type and length.
A modern bob is popular because of its interplay with a person’s face
shape. As such, stylists study a person’s chin, nose, forehead,
cheekbones and nose before cutting a bob because this hairstyle can
enhance one of these features or call attention to an area in the face,
such as the forehead or cheekbones, to end up with a high-fashion look.
Whether your hair is colored or not, permed, plaited, partned, curly or
straight, the bob gives one general effect – it frames the face. If
you’re thinking of getting a modern bob cut, here are several famous
types you can choose from:
1. The Pob – Short for “Posh bob cut” the pob style was made
famous by former spice girl Victoria Beckham. It features angular cuts
characterized by shorter hair at the back or on one side. The style
Victoria Beckham sports come in sleek layers that is usually shorter at
the back and parted on one side with the sides falling perfectly.
2. Messy Bob – As its name suggest, this bob features wavy
layers that fall in an intentionally disheveled manner. Popular
celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Meg Ryan have made this style a
haircut everyone can replicate.
3. Sleek bob – This type of bob features straight locks that
frame the face all around. The hair is cut in layers and blow-dried
inward to add extra volume. The sleek bob often comes with full bangs
and highlighted streaks. Celebrities that have worked a sleek bob
include Katie Holmes, Nicole Richie, Charlize Theron and Christina
Ricci.
4. The Pixie bob – Also known as the “Elf cut,” a pixie bob
features short, layered haircut that emphasizes the face. The cut is
also short at the back of the neck and close around the ears. Some
popular women with this type of hairstyle include Natalie Portman, Kiera
Knightley, Twiggy, Mia Farrow and Jamie Lee Curtis.
5. Blunt bob – For women with fine hair, the blunt bob can
make their hair look thicker. It often includes a more severe fringe for
the added sharpness. Be aware this type of bob cut doesn’t work for
curly hair.
6. Curly bob – Specifically for round-shaped faces, a curly
bob is done by layering more locks at the bottom to release the natural
curl. Gel or mousse is often applied to create more body. Those with
spiral curls should avoid cutting hair too short. The recommended length
for curly bobs is just around the cheekbones.
7. Graduated bob – Best for coarse and curly hair, the
graduated bob is done by cutting the ends to different lengths so they
appeared to be stacked on top of each other. The purpose of this bob is
to make curly hair manageable by adding volume only where needed.
Whichever cut you choose from these modern bob hairstyles, be ready to
sport a dramatic new look.
