Is there ever a season when a bob haircut isn’t the best idea? This stylish, chin-length (or thereabouts) snip looks so flattering on most people and really helps emphasize your bone structure, facial features, and neckline, while helping to make thinning or fine hair appear denser and healthier.
There’s honestly nothing the bob can’t achieve. But this fall, the classic style is even more popular than ever. These are the five stylish bobs you’re about to see everywhere this fall — and they’re so flattering on mature women, too.
1. 90s Bob With Blunt Ends
Bobs were all the rage in the ‘90s, and this specific type of bob is all about blunt ends that looks neat and polished, with a bit of a wave or texture within the hair to keep it voluminous. The bob always has texture or a bend to it and looks amazing with bangs or side-swept longer bangs. Experiment with the retro styling tip of flipping the ends up if you want to sport it like all the ‘90s girls did when they were imitating the ‘60s girls.
A-Line Bob
An A-line bob features a shorter back and a longer front that is often angled toward the face. This bob can be worn with or without bangs and is great if you’re looking for a bob that comes with a built-in shape and that frames the face.
3. Curly Bob
Whether your curls are natural or come courtesy of hot rollers or other tools, curly bobs are a big deal this season. A bob with texture automatically looks more voluminous, which is perfect if you’re trying to find a style that suits thinning hair.
4. Blunt Bob
The blunt bob is similar to the ‘90s bob, but texture need not apply. This is a great bob to rock if you want a sleek, shiny look. Just be sure to apply a root-lifting product and style your hair so that there is some volume at the top to keep it from falling flat.
5. Cropped Bob
You may have heard of a bixie by now — that’s a cross between a pixie and a bob. Well, this latest cropped bob falls somewhere between a bixie and a bob. It’s slightly shorter than a traditional chin-length bob and features shorter layers all around for a sophisticated, dare-we-say-French look.
