4 ‘Stunning’ Micro-Bob Haircuts For Boomers, According To Stylists

Is there a haircut that’s more classic than the bob? The bob looks good on so many facial shapes and with so many different hair types — it’s no wonder that stylists continually turn to it as a go-to style for women of all ages. But if you are mature and have hair concerns that may include thinning and shedding, the bob is an even better alternative to so many other styles. Contrary to what many may think, there is no one bob style — one of the greatest things about this cut is that it can be customized to suit you. There’s even a “micro” trend, if you will, in the universe of bobs that you may not have heard about yet — the micro-bob.  

“The micro-bob stands out due to its shorter length and edgier vibe compared to traditional bobs,” says Hair Stylist Tomy Biton at TomyBSalon. “A micro-bob haircut complements oval faces exceptionally well because the length draws attention to the symmetry of an oval face shape and balances out facial proportions.”

The micro-bob also softens the wider forehead of heart-shaped faces and adds width to the lower half of the face, creating balance, Biton explains. “You want a shorter bob that falls above the jawline, a micro bob is what you are looking for. This is a great option for anyone with finer hair that loses density as hair grows past their jawline. The microbob requires less layering and relies mainly on the precision of a blunt clean line — that gives that appearance of thicker hair.”
