The modern bob can be long layered and wispy or short and stacked. Bob haircuts. But first, a bit of history on the bob. In any case, you will likely need a great flat iron to keep your bob in phenomenal shape. See my list of the best flat irons.
Bob hairstyles are in no danger of going out of style. Many celebrities are continuing to cut off their long locks for chin-grazing bobs and the longer "demi-bobs" or long bobs. In this gallery, I feature the 20 hottest bobs of 2012.
So who can wear the bob? Anyone with a nice jawline and neck will look good in a bob. If you have a round face, a long bob is a better option for you. As for hair texture, bobs work best on thin to medium hair. If you have curly hair, a bob will turn into a triangle on you, unless you get layers cut in and the ends texturized (see photos of short, curly hairstyles that are adorable) and if you have fine hair, ask your stylist for a "graduated bob," which are stacked layers cut shorter in the back, longer in the front that give hair needed body and height at the crown.
