When Kim Kardashian-West recently uploaded an image of her new, shorter length jaw-grazing bob to Instagram, hairdressers across the globe prepared for the return of one of the world’s most iconic and timeless hairstyles of all time! The hairdressers in our Horsforth Salon on the outskirts of Leeds are amongst them!
There is a bob hairstyle to suit every face shape, but the key to finding your perfect bob is to visit the best hairdresser or hair salon in your area who specialise in short and medium length hairstyles!
Let our short hair specialists at Horsforth’s boutique hair salon help you find your perfect bob hairstyle, we’re expertly trained to create bespoke and personalised looks to enhance your features and suit your lifestyle.
Which bob hairstyle is right for your face shape?
Round-Shaped Face
If you have a round face, choose a bob that falls to the collarbone or below to elongate your face.
Heart-Shaped Face
Accentuate those gorgeous cheekbones and jawline with a super short cut.
Square-Shaped Face
A soft, effortless, grown-out fringe and a length that falls above the shoulders and below the jawline is perfect.
Oval-Shaped Face
Browse Insta feeds using #bobhairstyles and choose whatever you fancy! Those of us with oval-shaped faces will suit any bob hairstyle.
Which bob hairstyle is suitable for my hairtype?
Thick or coarse hair needs to remain longer to weigh the hair down and avoid your style becoming mushroom-esque!
Skinny hair is perfect for this season’s blunt, jaw-length variation. Be sure to keep that glass-like shine by applying a dash of oil when blowdrying. We recommend Kerastase Elixir Ultimate!
Curly-haired girls let us offer you a word of warning – visiting a hairdressing expert in short hair is a must. Always do your research and air with caution as you need clever layering to ensure your bob and those luscious curls look their best!
How can I personalise my bob?
Fringe benefits! For instant impact, why not introduce a fringe to your bob? During a consultation with your hairdresser, you should consider your face shape and lifestyle to decide on the best fringe for you.
A statement colour can add drama and a signature look to your bob. Whether you choose a platinum blonde, beautiful rich chocolate tones that have that incredible sheen or you opt for striking red or pastel hues, take expert advice on the most suitable radiance-boosting colour for you.
