Post pics of amazing, head-turning bob haircuts, please!

[Starfish83]

I’m going to lop off my very long, blonde mane. My hair is naturally straight and fine, but I have lots of it, so a precision cut works really well. Always feel a bit like my long hair is my identity, but had a bob about 8 years ago that I loved. If it makes any different, I’m petite, size 6-8 and 35 and a mama to a toddler.

Would LOVE some picture ideas and thoughts as to whether or not I should go for it! x

Do it! ✂️

Thanks Keen. Fab pic. Anyone else? 😀

Voila!

These are all my inspo pics

I had 14 inches lobbed off last month. Oh the freedom. I have very thick hair so I went for the "Rachel" series 8 friends. Then I had it balyaged (if that's a word) now it looks like this

Thanks Keen and One. Love these! I have a fringe (that actually works quite well with my features, apparently!) so was sort of thinking Anna Wintour style!? x

Hers is a wig. Even then it is far too severe.

Gosh, is it, Haze? An interesting opinion about the severity - my features are much softer than hers so I think the cut would work differently on me...

I'm not keen on bobs with heavy fringes. Side sweeping fringes look good.

Thanks leccy.

Gentle bump. 😊

I’m asking my hairdresser for this style this weekend. My hair is currently about 3 inches below shoulders and just meh.

I love Fleabag's Bob.

I just went for the longish bob a few weeks ago and love it.
Also felt like my long hair was my identity but I feel so much better put together and people keep telling me how young I look

I've got long thick hair which is layered but the longest part reaches down to the back of my bra strap. The colour is ombré brown to blonde. I'd been growing it for a while but have always had long hair really. I've also got a fringe (to hide my forehead wrinkles was my thinking). But thinking of going for a side swept fringe and growing it out and getting it cut into something like this. My hair is naturally wavy. Not sure tho now as have read about 'frumpy mum bobs'. I don't want it to look boring.

Reading with interest as mine is getting too long and meh but hairdresser keeps telling me to grow it!

I’ve just booked myself in for the chip tomorrow. Currently got shoulder length, very thick hair. Going for a short Bob with an undercut. I’ll post a before and after pic tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Good luck. Hope you are thrilled and skip out of the chair as bubby as a spring lamb! Obviously, I hope you're delighted with your new look.

Anna Wintour does NOT wear a wig.

Unless it’s superglued in as I’ve stood very close to her and also seen the wind blow it and seen her scalp.

Jaw length and side part

I have a Louise Brooks type bob. It needs frequent trims - every five weeks - and a hairdresser who is a really precise cutter. I love it, and people often stop me in the street/shops to compliment me, but I realise it is quite a “strong look” which not everyone likes.

Forgot the photo!

Oh, I didn’t. Sorry.

Ok here’s my mop before, and then 2 after pics. Have just been on a windy dog walk so looks a bit more bedraggled than when I walked out of the hairdresser this morning! I love the undercut, I won’t be wearing my hair up so it won’t be visible but has taken so much weight out, and allows the bob to sit much better.
