If you are ready to make the chop, try a long bob like Margo Robbie.

One thing’s for sure, bob hairstyles are here to stay, and there is a variation of the cut to suit every face shape. Celebrities embracing the look include actors Lukita Maxwell, who is sporting an ultra-short “micro” bob, Jessica Chastain, whose French bob grazes her jawline, and Margot Robbie, whose textured lob (long bob) has a fractured fringe and deep side-part.

The “classic” bob is all about precision cutting and drawing attention to the jawline and the neck, with regular trimming keeping the line sharp. The super-short, structured bob frames the eyes and the cheeks. Again, regular maintenance is required to keep the shape; the neck is the focus of this bold, blunt cut. If you are nervous about the transition from long to short hair, try a bob that just hits the shoulders and keep it polished by using a straightening iron on the ends.

The best thing about the bob is that it looks brilliant whether it’s worn glassy and poker straight or tousled. And when it comes time to grow it out, the process is easy – simply keep it conditioned with weekly hair masks and get regular trims.
