What Is a Bob Haircut?

A bob haircut is a popular short hairstyle and a perfect choice for those looking for a low-maintenance look. The bob haircut means the hair sits between shoulder and ear length. From a haircare perspective, it can soften the blow of having to chop off unhealthy ends to bring it back to health.

The bob haircut can be styled in more ways than one, despite popular belief that it can only be worn down. "The bob is surprisingly versatile, you just have to play around with different products and textures in a more creative way to get more variety with your finished look," says Patrick Wilson, ghd UK Ambassador. "We're seeing a lot of side partings in bobs to bring through that old money aesthetic, or you can have a play around with gel products for a more of a wet look finish."
