Are you eager to take a pair of scissors to your hair?

You’re in luck because it’s officially bob season. The bob haircut is one of those styles that’s been around forever but undoubtedly has a major moment as we transition into the warmer seasons. From the everyday person to celebrities like Halle Bailey, who was recently spotted in an innovative cropped loc ‘do, everyone’s hopping on the bob bandwagon, and we don’t blame them. 

Bobs are super versatile, effortless, and chic. They’re the perfect style for anyone looking to switch things up, regardless of the hair type or face shape. With hotter weather on its way, let go of the extra length and opt for a new look. Whether you have thick, curly hair or fine, straight strands, there’s a bob style made just for you. 

Check out our top bob looks, which are seen on celebrities of every hair type.
