Haircut in the Spotlight: Bobs
The weather will soon be heating up and so are the hairstyles! The classic bob is back and it’s better than ever! You’ll see the bob cut looking tres chic on the red-carpet during award season, but it’s not just a look for celebrities. Whether you want a subtle or drastic hair makeover, I’m sharing why bobs are a must-see style for 2020!
20s Style
The bob was literally the best-known short haircut style in the 1920s. Did you know it actually first started in1915 when a fashion-forward, dancer Irene Castle cut her hair into the short style as a matter of convenience? For years, it was known as the Castle bob (she was the Rachel of her day).
1920 or 2020; you cannot go wrong with this lower maintenance hairstyle. Perfect for any hair type no matter your age. The bob has always been on-trend for the ‘modern-day’ woman who likes to stand out in her everyday life.
There’s even a variety of lengths and styling choices. A longer lob is great for waves or a more standard, sleek cut will look killer with a blunt bang!

Things to Consider about a Bob Hair Cut
Makeup
Bobs are a statement cut so you might want to revamp your makeup routine too. You don’t want your look to be too much. Minimal beauty products work well with this cut. Avoid any hardcore contouring in favor of gentle powder blush layered beneath cream highlighter and swap out sharp cat eyes for softer eyeshadow in brown or grey.
Skincare
With shorter hair comes full display of your neck and back, so be sure to not neglect these areas with exfoliating toning and moisturizing. If you suffer from body acne try using a gentle cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Call your dermatologist If you are still struggling with breakouts—you could need a prescription antibiotic.
More Trips to the Salon
Shorter haircuts will require more upkeep. You will need to make more frequent salon appointments to keep the cut fresh. Expect to get a trim every four weeks or so if you’re rocking a blunt cut.
If you feel like that is more commitment than what you want to take on, fear not, we can still find a bob that compliments your lifestyle. Like us on Facebook and check out some of the before and after pictures there.
