One hairstyle, countless possibilities. The 90s-era bob is back—reimagined, adaptable, and so rejuvenating it's almost magical. In a world where trends change faster than Instagram filters, there's one hairstyle that's staying power. The bob. But not just any bob—this is the version that graced the heads of supermodels, movie icons, and fashionistas in the '90s and is now making a comeback on TikTok and red carpets. And why? Because it looks fresh, youthful, and incredibly easy to maintain. Let's face it, that's exactly what we're all looking for when we look in the mirror and secretly wish for "something new, but without the drama."
Bob is one of the few hairstyles that is not picky. Whether you have thin, thick, straight or curly hair – this hairstyle works. Plus, it provides that subtle elevator, which adds a touch of playfulness and a dose of confidence to your look. And yes, let's be honest: even in the morning, when there's no time for hairstyling acrobatics, a bob still looks like the result of a thoughtful styling decision.
Why is the bob hairstyle a spring trend?
The bob is a fashion chameleon. It can be strict and elegant or playful and tousled. What makes it truly exceptional is its ability to soften facial features and add volume where we need it most – especially those of us with finer, thinner hair know how precious every extra layer of volume is.
This hairstyle can:
- Optically lifts facial features (instant lifting without a surgeon),
- Softens the jawline, which becomes sharper over the years,
- Opens the face, which makes us act more fresh and relaxed.
And because the length of the bob is so flexible, you can wear it very short (so-called "French bob"), slightly longer (lob - long bob), or asymmetrical if you're a fan of bolder looks.
Celebrities who already swear by bobsleigh
If you're looking for inspiration among celebrities, you won't be disappointed. The bob hairstyle is a true red carpet chameleon:
- Kaia Gerber – daughter of Cindy Crawford and a new generation model, she wears a classic bob with slight waves – ultra chic.
- Zendaya – repeatedly surprises with variations of the bob that prove that it also works with more textured, curly hair.
- Emma Stone – she swears by an asymmetrical bob, which emphasizes her soft features and ensures a youthful appearance.
- Charlize Theron – the queen of elegance, who combines bobs with sharp lines and glamorous dresses.
And don't let that fool you - the bob isn't just for celebrities or the fashion-obsessed. It's a hairstyle that's also very wearable in everyday life: at the office, for coffee, at dinner... or as a quick touch-up before a Zoom meeting.
How to get the perfect bob?
Hairstylists recommend consulting your face shape and hair type before making a decision. But the good news? With a few adjustments, a bob can work on almost anyone. Here are three basic steps to maintain it:
- Styling: Use texturizing spray for a voluminous look or round brush for a sleeker version. For curly hair, a good curl defining cream is key.
- Volume: Dry shampoo is no longer just a “first aid” – it’s become your new best friend for quick volume and texture.
- Tip smoothing: Use light oil or shine serum, which adds the finishing touch and prevents the hairstyle from looking tired.
The right hairstyle, the right effect
A bob is not just a hairstyle – it’s a statement. It’s about style, confidence and timelessness. And if you’re still wondering if it’s the right time to make a change, let us remind you: the right time is always the right time. nowEspecially when it comes to a hairstyle that rejuvenates, flatters almost all face shapes, and puts you in the spotlight with minimal effort.
