Whether you're thinking about a post-lockdown chop or fancy switching up your style entirely, a bob hairstyle is always a good idea. As versatile as it is timeless, 2021 has served up endless inspiration from the shaggy bob, to the micro-bob, to the French bob, to the boyfriend bob. Take Halle Berry at this year's Oscars, where she stepped out donning the 'super micro bob' - an extra short, sharp bob that sits just above her chin. Then there's the return of Jennifer Anniston's classic 90's blunt bob, which according to hair stylists, is the next big trend in the world of hair.
The bob you end up choosing will depend on a number of factors. For starters, many hairdressers recommend a layered bob if you have thick or coarse hair, and a blunt cut if you have thin or fine hair in order to create the illusion of volume. Next, you might want to consider the matter of upkeep. A precise cut will require more maintenance in order to look its best, whereas something more laid back and tousled will look equally as good whether salon-fresh or a little grown out.
Then, there's the matter of colour. Do you want a touch of balayage or shatush, the latest subtle colour technique to sweep salons, for a gentle lift for the summer months? Or you may prefer something more statement in the form of the 'reverse contrast' look or even peekaboo colour.
One factor that can often comes into play during the decision making process is whether or not you're a glasses wearer. If you are, you may want to tweak your bob to best suit wearing glasses, whether that be forgoing a fringe to avoid crowding your features, or adding in a few face framing layers to draw attention to your specs.
