If you’re looking for a bob haircut that suits your style, keep reading to see the top bob haircut trends of Summer 2024.
The Top Bob Haircut Trends of Summer 2024
The Micro Bob
First up, the Micro Bob. Think of it as the bob’s shorter, cooler cousin. This chin-grazing length is all about attitude and can easily be switched up depending on how you style it — smooth, voluminous, natural or wavy/curly. It's bold, it's daring, and it's perfect for those who aren't afraid to show a little neck.
The Micro Bob screams confidence and is surprisingly versatile. Pair it with a blunt fringe for a vintage vibe or with round layers for a mushroom-esque finish. It’s low maintenance but high impact, which is just what you need to make a splash this summer.
The Princess Bob
The princess bob is most similar to a classic bob shape but with slightly more length. It usually involves long layers around the face and can be effortlessly elegant either air-dried or blow-dried. It has recently been seen on Gigi Hadid and most likely attributes its name to Princess Olympia of Greece. It’s regal yet relaxed, making you feel like royalty without the fuss.
The Long Bob (Lob)
Last but definitely not least, we have the Long Bob, or as the cool kids call it, the Lob. If you're not quite ready to say goodbye to your length but still want to switch up your style, this is the look for you. The shape falls between the chin and collarbone, making it an ideal compromise for a chic look without a ton of maintenance. Sophisticated, playful, and free you can wear it smooth and sleek for a polished look, or add some beachy waves for that effortless summer look.
Why We’re Calling the Bob for Summer 2024
It's simple. The Bob is versatile, and if cut with your natural texture in mind, it’s low-maintenance, while promising confidence within your style. It keeps you cool in the heat, looks great whether you’re beachside or barside and with the right shape and length, it can suit all hair types and face shapes.
