What Is The ‘Old Money Bob?’ Hair Stylists Praise This ‘Long Lasting Style’ For Women Over 40 Who Want To Bring ‘Massive Volume’ To Flat, Fine Hair

Udoh says that this bob as an ideal length for women with fine, thin, flat and weaker hair that offers versatile styling possibilities. This medium bob (as seen above on Aubrey Plaza and below on Zendaya) is long enough to be tied up but short enough to be worn effortlessly down. Udoh describes it as "a sleek and stylish choice for many occasions."  

She adds that "it's a versatile cut that looks great on almost any face shape and hair type." The length can be "adjusted to complement your features and create an attractive silhouette," she notes.

"This ever-popular bob provides volume at the crown, with textured layers that frame the face nicely while still maintaining an easy-to-manage style," Udoh explains.  

Additional Tips Before Hitting The Salon

Side parts evoke not only Old Hollywood, timeless glam— they also provide instant volume to shorter hair. As Abdullah points out, "in this manner, you can move the hair from one side to the other, as you wish."

The added hair going over, she says, will increase volume in the area as well, especially if your hair is used to being parted down the center.  

The Bottom Line

"If you really prefer a center part, make a short one instead so that the hair in front goes to either side of your face," she suggests.

"Then the hair in the center can be brushed back. Any difference that you create when your hair is used to lying flat and completely to the sides will create volume and make a big difference," she says.
