The 6 Bob Hairstyles That Are Trending For Winter 2020

What is about the bob hairstyle that gives it such eternal allure?

Season after season, trending cuts and colours rise in popularity and then fade into oblivion (pardon the pun), but the bob haircut’s ‘cool girl’ factor somehow remains.

Perhaps its magic lies in its seemingly effortless aura, its relaxed ‘I woke up like this’ aesthetic (though we all know that’s not necessarily true) and ability to complement any and every sense of style.

Regardless, winter 2020 has certainly succumbed to the bob’s charms, with jaw-skimming coiffures and shoulder-grazing chops becoming some of the most asked for post-quarantine cuts in salons across Australia.

Considering a cut of your own? Scroll on to see the reigning bob hairstyles of winter 2020.

THE ‘UNDONE’ BOB

Anthony Nader, Salon Owner and Creative Director at RAW Anthony Nader:

“Taylor Hill’s textured bob ticks all the right boxes. It’s still long enough to whip up into a fun hair shape if needed, or kept down to play around with different hair textures with your hot appliances or, of course, air dry to your happy strands’ content.”

THE CLASSIC LOB

Renya Xydis, Creative Director and Founder of Valonz and Salon X by Renya Xydis:

“The long bob (or lob) is the perfect transition into a shorter hairstyle without taking away all of your length. Leaving a bit of length at the front will allow you to keep styling your hair as you would with longer hair, but get a taste of the short style too. It’s perfect for elongating your face shape, this style will show your face nicely and frame it in a flattering way.”

THE ’90S BOB

Joey Scandizzo, Co-Creative Director of ELEVEN Australia:

“This short crop is the ultimate style of the season and bang on the ’90s trend that’s flooding our Instagram feeds. This cut looks great polished and glossy, or tousled for a more textured and lived-in look. Bonus? It’s really versatile, and looks great with a fringe or one-length and parted straight down the middle.”

THE FRENCH GIRL BOB

Delaney Loane, Beauty Writer at Harper’s BAZAAR Australia:

“As opposed to the more classic short style previously popularised by Parisians (a bob teamed with brow-skimming bangs), the fresher form allows for a little more creative license. Rather, the defining factors of the 2020 French-girl bob exist in the forms of the length (just above the jaw is best), the texture (the latest crop of chop inspiration favours a smoother finish), and the shape (the style looks chicest when curved inwards at ends).”

THE LAYERED BOB

Renya Xydis, Creative Director and Founder of Valonz and Salon X by Renya Xydis:

“Adding in some layers and a bit of texture will create a dynamic look to your bob. Long, wispy layers will make sure your hair isn’t too heavy and has a nice shape and good movement to it. Layers are your best friends when styling your hair, as they create texture, the perfect match for curls or waves! Layering also allows you to keep a bit of length, if desired, while some bits will be shorter than others to create that bob look. [If you like] add in a fringe that is also textured and you have yourself a new look! This look is dynamic and will give you a great structure for both sleek and messy looks.”

THE MINI SHAKE

Barney Martin, owner of Barney Martin Hair:

“This is a gorgeous take on the petite bob from the previous seasons. We go into the stronger base parameters (at the longest, it’s jaw length, but can be as short as around the ears) but we elevate the hair and cut in texture for a loose look with tons of natural movement. Straight and curly hair work with this cut.”
