Popular Bob Hairstyles

It seems that the bob hairstyle never goes out of style. It's been popular since the 1950s and its popularity shows no signs of abating.

It's likely that the bob is so popular because of its simplicity. Generally, it's an easy hairstyle to style and manage. It flatters nearly every face shape and age.

But what are the most popular bob styles right now? Let's look at a few.

Classic

The classic bob is still popular. Of all the popular bob styles right now, this is the only one that features bangs. The bangs can be very short or right at the eyebrow. The hair is usually right at the chin.

This style is popular because it's easy to style, especially for women with naturally straight hair.

The long bang

This style of bob can be very short (right at the ear) or longer, under the chin. The style can give the appearance that the woman has no bang, but the bangs are there, just very long. They are usually swept to the side. There might be some light layering, or there might not be any layering at all, though the hair is usually straight (as with the classic).

The side sweep

This style of bob is extremely popular right now. This is best suited for women who have naturally straight hair or are willing to blow dry their hair straight. This style features hair that's mostly all one length. Often the front of the hair is cut longer than the back, but there are no bangs and if any layering, it's long layers.

This style is characterized by a side part and hair that's blown or lightly curled just barely under a bit. This isn't the bob that features hair that flips out (that style is quickly going out of style) but rather gently curls under. And when we say "gentle" we mean it's quite subtle. Many women can get their hair to do this naturally if they have the right cut.

This style is popular with very young women and older women. An older woman might back comb the hair to get a lot of body from the back and have it curled under a bit more dramatically, while a younger woman might opt for a few more layers to make the look a little messier.

The flip

Though we said look that hairstyles featuring flipped ends are going out of favor, there is one style of bob that features lightly flipped ends. These aren't the ends that are dramatically flipped and sprayed to stay that way. That look has gone out of favor. This is about a light flipping, often done just with a curl brush and no curling iron.

In this style, the hair is lightly layered, though they are long layers, and the hair is generally fairly straight. It's parted in the middle, and the ends are, as we said, just lightly flipped. That's added just to give the hair and face some dimension. This style is best suited for young women.

As you can see, there are a myriad of choices in popular bob styles. Most work with many different hair textures and face shapes. Do a little research to find the right bob style for you.

Bob Hairstyles

Bob hairstyle is the most fashionable style with hairs falling down between ears and the chin. The style was invented in Paris in 1909 by a famous hair dresser Antonine but was made widely popular in 1920s as a sign of women's liberty. The style has regained popularity and has discovered many versions of the original bob cut.

Among all the latest trends in hairstyles bob cut has made a benchmark in the fashion industry. These hairstyles fit just about any face, color and lifestyles, giving a completely new look to the wearer. Traditional, short bob hairstyles comprise of short, sleek and severe cut with hair being cut uniformly. It goes well with any age group, hair type, hair length and facial structure.

The most popular bob hairstyles, running the trend of bobs, are inverted bob and angled bob. Inverted bob hairstyles are the most stylish and elegant. It is cut in a manner that hairs are stacked in the back adding volume and texture in the crown. Angled bob hairstyles add drama, flair and class to the personality of the wearer. Hair is evenly cut at a slight angle with hairs slightly longer at the front. It is a versatile cut that is easy to wear and maintain.

Another popular bob style is the chin length bob in which hairs are falling down the chin from both the sides. This style highlights the chin length and looks great on all. Today with various variations, the brand new bob has also come up. This particular hairstyle is designed by cutting the hairs in a rounded perimeter with hairs falling to the shoulders. Bob cuts also look graceful and classy with bangs, side parting, curls, waves and layers. Among all the new, modern and classy hairstyles inverted bob is the hottest, sophisticated and eye-catching hairstyle.

Here are some important suggestions for bob hairstyles that should be considered for longer lasting and better looking hairdos.

• If the hair is thin add layers to the cut. Layered locks produce a better effect and add volume to the hair cut.

• For square shape faces try brand new bob. Hairs falling on both the sides frame the face and enhance the facial features.

• Curls and crimp will produce a different effect, so try out a change in hairstyle.

• Go for hair color and highlights if the current hairstyle seems to be boring.

• Angled bob adds volume at the front and inverted bob adds volume in the crown, so consider the face structure before going for any of these bobs.

• Shampoo and conditioner the hairs well to retain moisture and beauty of the hair.

Hot new shoe from Loubou's

Painfully cute shoes from Loubou's. I feel a little bit of a dominatrix vibe from this design. I'm just saying... :-P. But if I had an event to go to, and they weren't so expensive, I would rock 'um.
