We cut it, we want it long again, and inevitably, we can’t wait to chop it again. It’s a tale that’s old as time. And while it might sound challenging to some, the ability to be a hair chameleon is actually a great problem to have! If you’re tired of the mermaid lengths and want a fresh haircut to match your summer mood, these bob trends will elevate your style.
The Top Bob Trends of Summer 2024
Micro Bob
Sometimes called “Le Petit Bob,” for those of you who are looking to make a real statement with your look, the Micro Bob can accomplish this with immediate effect. It takes on the shape of your favorite bob, just shorter. Aiming to hit the chin line or above, add texture to enhance your style or pair it with a fun, bright, outside the box color. Whether coloring your hair or consistently heat styling it, you’ll want to add some must-have products to your repertoire.
Bixie Bob
Let’s face it, the Bixie never went anywhere, and as we head into summer this bob trend is getting a new focus. Playing with length, the Bixie is reaching new highs and lows by playing with differences in the length. Varying from shorter versions to longer takes, the reason this style continues to trend is because of the added texture. The layers and makeup of the cut create built-in texture that comes out when you style it. Because you are working with shorter lengths and a highly texturized finish, building healthy hair habits into your style routine early and often is key.
Blunt Bob
They add volume and thickness and are a great way to create an edgy look, literally. Blunt bobs have always been around but as we head into the new season, they are finding their way coupled with bold blondes, effortless brunettes and fierce red heads. Because of the precision of this cut and the addition of color, it is imperative to have healthy hair. If hair is not protected, it will become damaged and brittle and start to break, and when you have a blunt weight line, you’ll immediately lose the shape. To keep your blunt bob in top condition, we’re detailing essential care and styling products below.
