The Bob Haircuts That Are About To Be Everywhere In 2023–Zendaya’s Take The Cake!

Time to announce the hottest haircut of the year. And the winner is … the classic bob (albeit with a twist!). Though she’s not the only celeb to rock one, you can thank Zendaya for putting the ‘50s-inspired bob on everyone’s radar and making us have multiple daydreams about flipping our tousled bob in the air and through our fingers and pairing it with flirty highlights, balayage, and all manners of retro skirts and dresses. But Zendaya’s bob, which has a side part, texture throughout, and plenty of volume, isn’t the only bob on the block. Whether you want to go a bit shorter, a bit longer, a bit straighter, or need space to maximize your waves and curls, the modern bob is all about customization. The bob haircut is about to be everywhere in 2023 — here’s what stylists have to say about the trend that never goes out of style.
What are some of the best bob haircuts you’re seeing?Jerome Lordet expert stylist with 20+ years of experience and salon director of the prestigious Pierre Michel Salon, says there are two bob haircuts that will be super popular in 2023: the boxy, blunt bob and the short wolf shag cut.
“For the boxy, blunt bob haircut I would tell your stylist that you want a one-length above the shoulder cut with absolutely no layering,” Lordet explains. “For the short wolf shag cut, tell your stylist that you would like a shoulder-length cut with layers that are feathered at the top and long, choppy layers around the back and sides, giving the hair a fuller look on top and thinner around the ends with wispy curtain bangs.”
According to Jennifer Nast, a stylist at Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger Salon, another new bob trend is the “Job.” “This is a jaw length bob,” Nast explains. “Hailey Bieber just updated her bob to a job. The job is very blunt and is great for clients with finer hair texture. This cut can give your hair the look of being very styled. When the shape is so strong, you don’t need much else.”
