The bob cut was originally popularised in the 1920s and has experienced numerous revivals and adaptations, solidifying its place in the world of fashion. For its effortless vibe, versatility, and low maintenance, the bob cut reigns short hair supremacy. In 2023, be it Hollywood ladies like Hailey Beiber and Zendaya, or B’town celebs like Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma, everyone has embraced the bobs with open arms!
Talking about the versatility of a bob cub, Vikas Marwah says, “A bob is very versatile. It is for someone who wants a very sharp and edgy haircut. Someone who needs a bold and edgy look. A lot of Indian women still like long lengths, but it is a must-try for anyone who believes in a very classy, simple, sophisticated look.”

Different bob cuts for different face shapes!
Owing to the versatility of the bob, a little modification can make it suitable for every face shape. Be it an asymmetrical bob, a long bob, or a classic bob, there’s one for every face. Marwah mentions, “For a round face, we prefer doing an asymmetric bob where the hair is shorter than the back. Also, for someone who has a very narrow jawline, I would prefer doing a classic symmetrical bob.”
Easy to Maintain and Effortless
Maintenance is the key when it comes to rocking a bob. With the right cut and products, it’s easy to maintain its shape and style. Regular trims also keep the bob looking fresh and healthy.
Marwah explains, “It is very easy to maintain a bob provided the texture of your hair complements the haircut. If you have wavy hair, using a round brush or a blow dry and flicking the hair inwards is a good trick. But if your hair is silky, straight, and smooth, it is very easy to manage this cut.
