Short Bob Haircuts

The classic bob is the epitome of the liberated woman in the 1920s. Being a timeless masterpiece, bob haircuts have marked their way into a modern craze once again. The typical bob is worn short with straight hair cut to the same length, finishing between the ears and the chin and focused close to the face. This classy style has been adopted by celebrities such as Katie Holmes with her blunt cut bang. Although, the traditional bob may be too conventional for some.

Since the liberating classic bob, haircuts are being developed around the world modernizing this long-established style. Variations include Victoria Beckham’s “Posh Bob” or “Pob” where the hair gradually and elegantly lengthens towards the face, also referred to as “asymmetrical”, “graduated” or “angled” bob haircuts. Her side sweeping bangs make Posh’s bob even more flattering. This angled style has also been worn by Jenny McCarthy and Rihanna.

Such bob haircuts are relatively low maintenance for women with straight hair, requiring merely a comb to keep the shape. Even though wavy or curly hair demands more work, the bob is not impossible to attain. Eva Longoria has fashioned a beautiful wavy bob to aspire to.

Other modifications to the classic bob include having the ends bobbed up towards the face, introducing side swept or blunt bangs, flicking the ends and adding layers to build volume. Layered bob haircuts are extremely popular, ranging from short, medium, long, inverted and angled.
