The iconic bob ticks so many boxes, and all at once. What do you need to know before anyone starts wielding the scissors?
Whether yearning for a whole new look, in search of something fresh and flattering, or wanting a haircut that screams elegance and style, the iconic bob ticks so many boxes, and all at once. What do you need to know before anyone starts wielding the scissors?
Finding the bob for you is a process of discovery, according to Adam Cunningham, educator and salon manager of Zeba, Sandymount and one that involves a detailed consultation. “There’s definitely a cut that works for every woman. If you’ve got good bone structure and a good jawline, lucky you, you can wear whatever style you want.
“The first thing I’ll always ask is, do you have time to style this every morning? Depending on their hair type, I’ll explain what’s involved to get it to look like my cut on the day. I’ll show them a couple of styling techniques, but first and foremost, it’s going to require maybe an extra 10 or 15 minutes every day. If they’re okay with that, and open to embracing clips and hairbands, then rock on.
When it comes to colour with a bob, there are a couple of key considerations to keep in mind. “First to remember is that once the hair is cut into style, you’re dealing with a different surface area to colour,” says Conor. “So if you want to be blonde, you’ll probably have to commit to a more high-maintenance service and more time in the chair to facilitate this shorter hair.
Looking at overall style, Karen adds, “Balayage, money pieces and face-faming highlights all work well with bobs. Equally, I think a bleached bob is the coolest thing for someone with quite an androgenous look.” Length is a great way to flatter features; a longer bob that can conceal extra neck and/or slim a face. To enhance a jawline, opt for a bob that dips at the front.Remember, with a bob, you’re now dressing from head down, so enhance your personal style with clothes and makeup to amplify your statement.
