The popular straight bob haircut forms a sleek and classy style for any occasion. It’s easy to maintain and makes for a wash-and-go look for women with natural silky locks.
Jeida, a hairstylist from Abu Dhabi, shares her take on this haircut. “People think it’s a simple cut to create since it’s a one-length haircut, but they’re wrong,” she explains. “It entails precision cutting and needs to be in the same length, leaving no room for mistakes.”
The suitability of this haircut depends on your natural hair texture, says Jeida. It’s most compatible for women with silky, straight hair. It would not be ideal for women with wavy curly, textured hair as more effort in styling and upkeep is needed.
When wearing this cut, Jeida states, “I see this haircut as a versatile piece. You have the option to wear it following your natural hair texture or upgrade it using the curling wand or flat iron.”
As with any haircut, she believes in the power of a consultation with a hairstylist. “Before deciding on the cut, ask your hairstylist if the cut suits your hair texture and face shape,” she says. “Don’t forget to ask about styling and upkeep of this cut and its effect on your current lifestyle.”
