A short choppy bob is a women’s short haircut that’s cut at the ear to neck-length to create multi-layers and texture. If you have an attitude that falls anywhere between boho to rebel style, this cheeky version of the bob should be on top of your must-have hairdos!
The signature feature of a choppy haircut is its different, shattered lengths, defining the trendy tousled-hair appearance that everyone’s raging about. Rooting from the expertly done looks of celebrity icons Ashley Benson, Dua Lipa, Lauren Conrad, and Sienna Miller, this short and casual cut captured the hearts of women who aspire to be the boss both in work and in fashion.
“It’s meant to be messy, lived-in, and not too formal,” says Sam Kane, Boston haircut specialist and owner of the Black Room Salon. “Make sure you’re ready to put some effort in to get the texture you want. The stylist should guide you as to how to get the right outcome when styling.”
To nail this effortless short choppy bob haircut, Sam suggests to “ask for your stylist’s recommendation and ask how much maintenance and product cost to keep this look is needed before you cut it.”
Styling is definitely a breeze because of the cut’s lightness. Sam’s best styling and product advice? Here’s what she had to say: “use a product that will help define the texture [such as] a texture spray or a light paste through the ends to have some separation.
