Bob’s concepts from the 192Оs and 199Оs that are so light and airy
It’s official: short hair is in. Updated versions of short hairstyles, including as bobs, shags, and pixie cuts, have taken over feeds and the streets in recent years, bringing in a new generation of designs that are versatile enough to go with every skin tone. They all share the same craving for movement, volume, and individuality, which combines to create the most iconic ’90s bobs. Hairstylist Lauren Bailey-Chaidez observes, “French bobs with baby bangs can feel reminiscent of the ’90s; I love a classic bob and bangs, Uma-Thurman-in-Pulp-Fiction style; a preppy bob with wispy bangs is super ’90s.
” I’m very into one-length blunt bobs right now. It is quite adaptable based on styling. A ’90s look is characterized by face-framing layers, natural texture, various bangs, and blown-out bounce. This style was popular back then and is still very much so today. Bailey-Chaidez says, “I love the swing and bounce that styling can add to a bob.” Consider Drew Barrymore’s Guess Jeans advertisements or the lighthearted, androgynous design that is reminiscent of Calvin Kline’s CK1 advertisements. One more casual homage to the 1990s? a polished middle section, as exemplified by celebrities like Hailey Bieber.
Hairstylist Justine Marjan states, “Hailey Beiber’s jawline-grazing bob has been hugely influential and inspired so many others to go short shortly after.” “I adore that the shorter length allows for greater styling versatility, reducing intimidation.” And that’s a good thing because bobs are a perfect symbol of fresh starts. Hairstylist Thahn Vo exclaims, “It truly signals a new era and is such a timeless versatile hairstyle that is suited for all hair textures.”
