The bob hairstyle is a classic that never seems out of fashion. Celebrities continue to cut off their long hair for bobs. You can wear it super short, shoulder-length, style it straight, wear it in a centre or side parting, or with a fringe. It is a style that is appropriate for any occasion. The bob is said to have originated from Europe during World War I. As women joined the workforce, they had no time to do their hair and cropped hair was easier for them.

It has many styling options. You can transform it from formal to casual in just a few steps. The style would be perfect for women who do not have a lot of time to style their hair in the morning. There are different types of bob haircuts in terms of length and style.

If you have a nice jawline and neck, you will definitely look good in a bob. Here is how to determine what suits you:
• If your face is round, go for a long bob to elongate your face.
• Lucky are you if your hair texture is thin to medium as bobs work best on such hair.
• For those with fine hair, let your hairdresser do for you a ‘graduated bob’, which are stacked layers cut shorter in the back, longer in the front and give hair the needed body and height at the crown.
