The bob hairstyle originally became popular among women in the 1920s. The short cut was a symbol of the flappers, women who defined themselves by new freedoms. As with most fashions, though, the bob eventually went out of style. It popped again for a brief time in the 1960s, but did not regain widespread popularity until very recently.
Last year, stars like Victoria Beckham started cropping their hair short, and soon the bob was back. Today, it is one of the hottest trends and can be seen on women of all ages. Although the classic, blunt cut is still seen, there are also many new, modern variations on the bob. Most notably, there is the “pob,” which is essentially an inverted bob.
The hair in the front hangs longer than those in the back creating a distinctive angled look. Another hot trend is the cropped bob, which is a shorter take on the traditional cut. This daring style was recently adopted by starlet Katie Holmes, which helped it make a big splash on the fashion scene.
Bobs layers are also in style and add some volume to the ‘do. Razored ends are also a great way to add some edgy boldness to a classic bob.
