Will the bob trend ever die down? From what we’re seeing at our Montreal salon: a resounding no. And for good reason: bobs look good on so many people. Seriously, from oval to long faces: check, it works. Blonde or brunette? Check. Straight, fine hair? Yep. Even curly hair looks good with a bob.
Here are the four bobs we’re going to focus on: Bell Bottom Bob, Mini Bob, Flapper Bob and the Slob (cuter than it sounds).
Bell Bottom Bob
The Bell Bottom Bob is making a significant comeback this season and it’s easy to see why. This style is characterized by its voluminous, outward-flipping ends, reminiscent of the 1970s bell-bottom pants. The beauty of the Bell Bottom Bob lies in its versatility and the playful movement it adds to your look.
For those with fine hair, this bob can create an illusion of thickness and volume. Our stylists at Salon Deauville recommend this cut for clients looking to add a fun, retro vibe to their style without sacrificing modern elegance. Whether you wear it sleek and smooth or with a bit of wave for added texture, the Bell Bottom Bob is a sure way to turn heads.
Mini Bob
Next up is The Mini Bob, a chic and contemporary twist on the classic bob. This version sits just below the ears, providing a fresh and youthful appearance. It’s a fantastic option for those who want a low-maintenance style that still looks polished and sophisticated.
The Mini Bob works beautifully on all hair types, but it particularly shines on straight and slightly wavy hair. Its shorter length makes it perfect for summer, keeping you cool and stylish.
Plus, this stylish bob is incredibly easy to style—just a quick blow-dry or a few passes with a flat iron, and you’re good to go. For a bit of added flair, try tucking one side behind your ear and adding a statement earring.
Flapper Bob
Inspired by the iconic 1920s flapper style, the Flapper Bob is characterized by its sleek, straight lines and dramatic, blunt ends. It’s a bold and sophisticated choice that exudes confidence and a touch of vintage glamour.
At Salon Deauville, we love creating this look for clients who want to make a statement. The Flapper Bob is perfect for those with naturally straight hair, but it can also be achieved with a good straightening routine and the right products. Pair it with a bold red lip, and you’ll be ready to hit the town with a timeless, elegant style.
The Slob
Although you might have another image of what a slob might mean, celebrity hairstylist George Northwood first coined the term as a portmanteau of “sleek” and “bob.” The cut leans on the current bob trend that has been making its rounds with the celebs and is a simple one-length cut without any layers.
In the absence of an asymmetrical edge, feathering, face-framing layers, or really anything that stylists would incorporate into a cut to add texture, the slob is as unfinished as an old-school bowl cut but with a chicer chin-grazing length and a slick, frizz-free texture. This style is perfect for those who prefer a minimalist and polished look. Our stylists at Salon Deauville can help you achieve the perfect slob, ensuring a sleek and sophisticated finish.
