Bob

Hi all..

I have been really unwell lately. Two hospital admissions and a major operation as well as sepsis.
My hair is hideous: very thin, split and not looking so good. I am mid 40s and have lost a lot of weight as well and this is also showing on my face.
As well as eating well, vitamin supplements etc , I feel like a little change. My hair is always up as it is and it is past my shoulders . I am wondering if a Bob haircut would be a good idea.

Any fellow Mners who have Bob cuts and are you happy with them ?
Advice please ..

I really like a French Bob

French bobs are lovely. I just worry I don’t have the courage to wear it that short.

I love wearing my hair in a bob. Go for collarbone length and you can go shorter in the future if you wish. Explain to the stylist how you like to style it (or wash and go), where you want the parting and how you want the front (any fringe, shaping).

I love my bob! In the past i've had long hair which looked too straggly as its fine or pixie cuts which don't suit my face shape. I've recently been very busy and poorly and a bob is so versatile- just a few weeks and you can grow it out enough to make a few changes, change partings, curl it, clip bits up etc. At the moment I've got mine layered a bit shorter at the back and chin length at the front so it doesn't look too short and still plenty to play with but I'm constantly making changes

My hair is currently really long but I'm seriously considering a bob! Watching with interest

I recently chopped my bra-length hair to above the shoulders bob with a side parting. I absolutely love it and it feels very current. Florence Pugh was my inspo.

That sounds gorgeous- I bet you look amazing.

Florence Pugh - simply stunning.

My current thinking is in between chin and collar bone. I also have a fringe and my hair is fine.

I really do think I am going to go for it.

A bob suits me so much more than long hair. My hair is usually a similar length to Florence Pugh's above, or slightly shorter. It looks so much healthier.

Mine is currently dyed bright coral red and teal, it does look fantastic 😁

I think yours will be really chic, especially with a fringe.

If only we could all be Florence 😍
