A bob cut. Funny name for a hairstyle right? And what is even a bob cut, would it suit me ? Are bob cuts only good on older women ? What does this all mean ?  These are just some of the questions that might come to your mind if someone ever suggests that you would look good with a bob hairstyle, and fear not, we are here to help you answer all of those questions and more ! 

A bob cut simply refers to a short to medium length hairstyle in which the hair is typically cut at about jaw-line level, with or without bangs in the front, it ranges length from ear level, to a little above shoulder length. 

Bob hairstyles can be cut blunt and completely straight, or they can be shaggy. And while blunt bob cuts have a timeless charm and appeal to them, shaggy bobs are daring, new, and they have taken the world of beauty and fashion by storm. 

Bob haircuts have been for too long known as the “old lady” hairstyle. Not only is that type of language completely outdated and obsolete, but the entire premise is  wrong by a long shot, thus rendering its rebranding through its new shaggy look completely instrumental to its new-found popularity. 

What makes a shaggy bob shaggy you might be wondering ? Well the messy look is achieved by razoring the hair instead of using scissors to cut it. Razoring is a technique originally used to thin out very thick hair, but in the context of a bob, it is what makes your hair kind of taper off to a thinner peak, making it perfect if you’re looking for messy, natural looking ends. So a shaggy bob is essentially a hairstyle that’s asymmetrical, with chopped ends, and a somewhat casual, messy texture.

Short shaggy haircuts are perfectly suited to women who are young in spirit. The razoring results in lots of texture and a super casual messy layered look. It’s a hairstyle that  can be paired with a bold statement color for if you really want to stand out, or with soft, natural tints to give a more, laid-back, girl next door look. The possibilities are endless, from super short pixie bobs to shaggy bobs (long bobs), you are spoiled for choice! You can choose to style it meticulously or let it fall naturally. You can choose to get bangs, or not, because you’ll look fabulous regardless. 

With so many possible ways  to rock this layered style, there’s sure to be a perfect shaggy bob for you out there. It’s trendy, versatile, super easy to style, and very low maintenance. You can choose to make it look tame, messy and everything in between. It’ll look marvelous with your natural hair, with highlights, dyed hair, heck, even multiple colors !  

So if you’re looking to switch things up in the hair department, why not go for a shaggy bob ? Here are some ideas to help you along the way !
