The Bob: The Reigning Haircut Of Spring 2024
The 90’s supermodel charm is back with a bob or a flob with a low maintenance hair style to stand out of the crowd! 90s-supermodel bob hair plays with the texture and volume of Cindy Crawford’s signature bombshell blowout bob hair cuts with the volume, movement, and low-maintenance style of
Christy Turlington’s and Eva Herzigová’s bobs.
WHAT THE BOB?
Bob maybe a simple word to sound but there are a variety of trends, style and length. As quoted by hairstylist Laurabeth Cabott “a bob is a short hairstyle cut at the neckline, typically going along the
jawline”. Celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena, states that though we can also adorn it just
past our shoulders for a voluminous flob. He added “Flipping your hair can feel really
heavy with a regular bob, since the cut has no part. The art of cutting lies in the flob
which is cut and parted all around in the middle, on the left, and then the right whilst
the ends are just texturized for the added volume giving hair the “movement” it needs”. The 90’s supermodel bob is easiest and chicest to add volume and texture to short hair without compromising on face structure. No wonder the A-listers are obsessed with the look from Sydney Sweeney and Madelyn Cline to Zendaya, and many more have all worn the 90s supermodel look in the recent past.
Bob hairstyles are having a comeback merged with the trends of 2024. The light layers of the cut blend seamlessly to have a FLIP!
5 BOB WE LOVE IN 2024:
MUSHROOM BOB
The perfectly synced bob hairstyle can be witnessed in the photo of Carina Pranz(digital creator), where the length just sits at the chin with rounded ends which are flicked under using a round brush or straighteners states Stéphane Ferreira,expert stylist and colour specialist at Live True London. The growth would look
equally good when it nonchalantly falls around the face which can be curled with a curling magic wand! says Rice and Buller: owner of Buller+Rice hair salon.
THE GROWN-OUT FRENCH BOB
The classic French bob sits just above the jawline firmly, but it requires regular trims to keep it so sharp and bouncy. This year, the result of French cut will be a versatile, wavy, bouncy and low-maintenance hairstyle that suits a variety of face shapes and hair textures . Unlike traditional bobs, which require frequent trims and salon appointments in order to maintain their shape, the grown-out version is more laid back version dismantling the “bob” rules. French bob is looking ravishingly hot on
model Amy Julliette Lefévre.
THE BAROQUE BOB
The Renaissance inspired Baroque bob is turning heads,representing the unruly organic curves and intricate filigree work on gigantic European architecture and artwork in the form of voluminous curves, waves and fall. This hair artistry lends an expensive look which is easy to maintain and twirl with the twist as well! You can easily go for a blunt cut with face-framing layers, which you can flip to the side and style with a blow-dry brush like Amika Blowout Babe Thermal Brush or Shark SmoothStyle Heated Comb + Blow Dryer Brush just like the 90’s epic sexy style.
OLD HOLLYWOOD BOB
When French bob cut looks deliberate,there is a distinct move towards more polished, glamorous styles. Why not go for a coiffed waves, zero flyaways and a high-shine sleek finish .We can witness Greta Lee’s old Hollywood style at the Golden Globes 2024 as well as Sydney Sweeney, whose Marilyn Monroe style
diva’s inspired look won the Oscars.
LONG OR MIDI BOB
A great choice especially with those over 50 with cut shorter bobs or a midi-cut that sits beneath the jaw and just above the décolletage portraying a long slender look is fast gaining in popularity. Super flattering on different face shapes with wide waves and streaks on the side of the face just like Friends superstar: Jennifer Aniston or with a bouncy finish, like Pénelope Cruz.
