The “Job” Bob

The job bob frequently appears in hair trends at the end of summer. The reason? It suits both straight and wavy hair, refreshes the face, and requires minimal maintenance. Job is short for “jaw-length bob”, meaning aesthetically, the bob aligns with the jawline. Like Kaia Gerber, you can wear this bob effortlessly with delicate jewelry to highlight your face and outfit.

Chic and cool with its wavy effect, the job bob is also (and especially) very easy to style. Remember that the job bob should fall just below the chin to be successful.

The Bob Cut

A bit vintage, it pairs perfectly with long dresses and fitted outfits, adding a sexy touch reminiscent of women from the 1950s, like actress Zendaya. Choose this bob cut if you enjoy spending a little time styling your hair in the morning, as the bob cut requires a small investment of time to achieve a beautiful hairstyle. I also recommend caring for your hair with masks and hydrating them often, as the regular blow-drying this bob requires can quickly damage your hair.

The Razored Bob

A fan of Emily in Paris? Now is the time to try her bob cut that she sports in her daily life for a chic look.

The uniqueness of the Razored Bob lies in the razor-finished tips that give a slightly tousled effect to the cut. This technique should only be performed by an expert hairdresser who can master the razor technique while protecting your hair.

In addition to being easy to adopt, this bob cut suits both straight and wavy hair. Remember this grandmother’s trick to make your hair shine: finish your shampoo by rinsing your hair with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water.

Don’t hesitate to ask if this technique is possible at your hair salon (and also consider bringing a picture of the bob you want, it always helps the hairdressers).

The Short Bob with Bangs

Think of Angèle during her performance at the Olympics, stunning in her black Coperni jumpsuit. To adopt this cut, it’s better to have a hairline that pairs well with a short fringe to create a harmonious overall look. Unlike the job bob, this one doesn’t suit everyone.

If you try it and find this cut doesn’t work for you, now is the time to add accessories like clips or headbands that will help keep your hairstyle in place.

In terms of makeup, since this cut accentuates the structure of the face, go easy on eye or lip makeup to avoid a heavy look. Unless, like Angèle, you need to take the stage, opt for nude or coral shades, depending on your skin tone.

Shopping Selection

The bob is a simple cut that often stands alone. However, by adding a small clip like model Amelia Gray or an accessory like a headband or barrette, you can brighten up the cut. Hair accessories allow you to add a touch of personality to the bob.
