The bob has been reinterpreted many times since it became a popular cut in the early twentieth century, and it keeps returning because it is so adaptable. In Paris-inspired editorials, it usually appears at chin length with a blunt edge and a finish that looks lived-in instead of styled.
The key detail is texture. Hair is left to air-dry or is dried gently, then given a slight bend at the ends with a touch of lightweight oil or cream. A deep off-centre part and one side tucked behind the ear add asymmetry without any complicated tools.
Because the cut carries the shape, upkeep is mostly about regular trims and a gentle hand. Those with straighter hair may enjoy the clean line, while wavy or curly hair can bring more movement. A stylist can help adjust length and layering to your own hair type and the proportions you like.
