Since it was created in France in the 1900s, the bob haircut has never been out of style. The reason is simple: bobs are very versatile; you could make them long (the lob), cut them to graze your jaw, make them straight, or wear them curled. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Zendaya have debuted bobs this year, so who’s ready to hop on the trend?
Kate Beckinsale
Speaking of celebrities who joined the Bob Brigade recently, Kate Beckinsale is undoubtedly one of the top mentions. She recently traded her popular chocolate brown locks for a classy bob.

Kate’s type of bob is a bright blonde wavy lob, a look created by hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos. However, the roots still retain their chocolate brown color. The style is definitely fresh and youthful.
Cara Delevingne
Cara has been sporting her blunt bob for a while, but the change she made to it two months ago has been making waves. People are beginning to style their bobs like how she did it to Burberry’s Knight Bar.

She has a more textured lob with an extreme side parting and a bit more length. This cut isn’t the traditional style, but it makes her stand out on the bob train.
Zendaya
For a while now, Zendaya has been experimenting with shorter hairstyles, moving away from her regular long tresses. Recently, she’s rocking a grown-out bob, making her look even more sophisticated and classy.

Zendaya’s bob has a bouncy volume and more tousled ends, leaning towards chic Hollywood hairstyles. The side-swept bob has an effortless, sexy ‘I woke up like this’ look, don’t you agree?
Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber also joined the Bob Brigade this year; her new hairstyle has taken social media by storm. To keep it fresh, she has been experimenting with different variations of the hairstyle.

Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner recently showed us how much she looks like her mom, Kris Jenner, by chopping her signature extensions. She practically broke Instagram when she posted her new hair, saying bye to her signature shoulder-length waves.

She now wears her hair in a bob, with curtain bangs style to the side across her forehead. Several months ago, Kylie announced that she was on a hair health journey after many years of frequent color changes.
