The age old question: shall I go back to a bob?

17 replies

Mylittlebobble · 09/09/2025 21:05

I've attached some pictures for comparison. My hair is more similar to the pic with hair past shoulders, but my fringe has grown out more. The picture with the bob is from about five years ago. I've been growing my hair since then, but the last two days the "get a bob" thoughts have surfaced again. Do I listen to them? For info, I get my hair cut ever 6 weeks so maintenance isn't and issue. Any suggestions for haircuts and pictures would be great.

Yes! It looks great!

SliceofTosst · 09/09/2025 21:10

I think it looks much better. Sits really nicely and has better body movement.

Yes the bob and colour looks great

The bob looks nice. I particularily like your glasses :)

Mylittlebobble · 09/09/2025 21:21

I might go for it then. I just need to try and get the right length and avoid the dreaded triangle bob. @mdinbc I wanted to go the whole hog and draw the disguise mustache too, but thought it would be too distracting 😆 thanks all!

I like the length more but the lighter colour. The bob is a bit 'boxy'. Maybe add layers if going shorter for more shape.

Your face disguise is fecking hilarious! 😂

But yeah, your hair looks OK as it is, but also looks nice in a bob too. So yeah, go for it. Smile

I like the bob and lighted colour, but would go slightly shorter tbh. To chin length.

Here's another pic that's similar to my current hair, but styled differently to original picture. Hope the beard isn't too distracting. Got a bit carried away...

😂 The beard suits you. DO keep it!

Zov · 09/09/2025 22:29

To be fair, you look nice with any haircut! Lucky devil! 😏
