A Bob Haircut - Never Goes Out of Fashion

A well-maintained style will never go out of fashion just like a bob hair cut. Introduced during the First World War, the wash and wear cut was very practical for women who started working in factories. A bob haircut no longer required curlers and hair straighteners and so women had more time to finish the chores before they went to work. The style evolves together with the fashion trends. The ‘80s bob called for bone straight strands in geometric side cuts and fringes. This year’s bob has an edgy appeal. The strands are ruffled yet gather right below the chin. Some women like theirs in single length others sport layered fringes for a softer look.
