2008 Fall Winter Bob Haircuts Trends

This year has certainly been a time for going short, at least when it comes to hairstyles. Over the last twelve months, more and more women have chosen to chop off their locks and show off one of several popular bob styles. Perhaps the most common variation we’ve seen this year is the inverted bob.

Despite the rising prominence of this ‘do, though, the classic blunt bob has also made a comeback this year.

Bob Hairstyles of 2008

First sported by bold ladies in the 1920s, this cut is symmetrical all the way around and usually falls to chin length. Other bob trends for 2008 include razored ends, which help modernize the look, and sleek styles achieved with straightening irons and blow driers. Bangs are also popular and work well with almost any bob variation. Most women have opted for longer fringe styled blunt or swept to one side. However, the trend of covering one’s eyes with bangs is fading and most ladies with a bob crop their fringe to eyebrow level.

Meanwhile, straightened layers add height and keep a bob from falling flat or losing life. Ultimately, though, the way to choose the best bob is to study your race shape. Those styles that look best complement features and enhance the wearer’s natural beauty.
