@HAILEYBIEBERPopularised by Hailey Bieber's recent chop, the box bob sees hair cut at an angle, with the addition of subtle texturised layers.

@AIMEESONGThis is a great bob hairstyle to opt for if you have a natural wave or subtle curl to your hair.

@TYLYNNNGUYENAsk your hairdresser to leave lengths a little longer at the front, then shape your ends inwards with straighteners to recreate this look.

@NATASHANDLOVUIf you're growing out a recent bob or you're not yet brave enough to opt for a super short cut, try a long bob (also known as a lob).
Photo:
@BUBBLYAQUARIUSAsk for some layers to create texture and movement to keep your lob interesting.
Photo:
@BRITTANYBATHGATEThe best thing about a lob is that it's short enough to style quickly, but long enough to style with some loose waves or curls.

@ERIKA_BOLDRINA blunt bob is all about a super sharp cut. You'll need to pay regular visits to your hair salon to maintain this style.

@ISABELLECOHEENKeep your length above your shoulders to show off the clean ends of a blunt bob.

@DEBORABROSAIf you have naturally straight hair and prefer a low maintenance approach to haircare, a blunt bob is surprisingly easy to maintain.

@FRANNFYNEThis style is a great way to enhance hair that naturally curls or already has a lot of volume.

@MELODIEBANCEFor a low maintenance, retro-style Italian bob, use a thickening cream or pomade to add volume to the ends.

@HOSKELSKABounce and a rounded shape characterise the bubble bob—a key hair trend for 2023.

@JOURDANNDUNNIf your bob is super short, use wide-barreled curling tongs to add shape.

@THE_OLUWASEUNIf you're considering a bob for the first time, a micro bob is the boldest route to take, but looks oh so chic.
Photo:
@ALYSSAINTHECITYA micro bob paired with a micro fringe may sound scary, but if you want to try something totally new (and bang on trend), it's a match made in heaven.

@AMAGODSON_AAll you need is hair straighteners and a lightweight hair oil to turn your bob into this sophisticated and modern style.

@MISSTPWTo create shape, use your straighteners to mould the ends of your hair inwards.

@CATLPATTERSONChin length hair styled into a sleek bob is a great way to frame your face.

@LINDSEYHOLLAND_Perhaps the most effortlessly easy of all bob hairstyles, the choppy bob is all about enhancing your hair's natural texture.
Photo:
@ALEXACHUNGAsk your hairdresser for a cut with blunt ends and that allows movement through the lengths.
