The bob is trending in 2024, and not just among A-listers. It's quickly made its way to the street style set, most likely due to how easy it is to achieve.
Richard Scorer, hair expert and creative director at Haringtons tells us that the bob is practical and cultural, hence its popularity on and off the runway. "Its versatility allows for a range of styles, from the classic to the modern, making it suitable for anyone seeking a fresh look," he says. "Moreover, social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have played a significant role in popularising the bob, with countless adaptations and trendy variations being showcased by influencers and celebrities."
Scorer delves into the historical significance of the bob, explaining that it symbolises liberation and empowerment, particularly for women. "In today's uncertain world, where control may feel elusive, embracing a bob haircut can offer a sense of agency and self-expression," he shares. "Ultimately, the bob's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transcend trends and embody timeless elegance."
Wilson believes the Baby Bob will take centre stage this spring. "With a slightly shorter length than its predecessors, it exudes a charming, youthful vibe, akin to the cute younger sister of the classic box bob."
