Whether it’s beach waves, Hollywood glam, volume, bounce, sleek and shiny, flicky styles, or incorporating hair accessories, Crank emphasizes the versatility and fun that a styled bob offers, making it a timeless and inclusive hairstyle.
4. Pixie Cuts
Caroline Broadbent, salon director at Avenue Boutique, recommends the pixie cut for those desiring a shorter yet timeless style. The pixie cut’s versatility allows for customization based on face shape, hair texture, and color. Broadbent notes that it works well on both smooth and wavy hair, offering a look that can vary significantly depending on individual factors.
5. Long Layered Cuts
Long hair remains stylish with the addition of layers, according to Kate Ross, hair and beauty specialist at Irresistible Me. Ross explains that long layered cuts add volume and dimension to the hair, ensuring a look that is feminine and can be styled in numerous ways, making it perpetually fashionable.
6. Face-Framing Layers
When opting for face-framing layers, strategically focusing on long layers around your face can evoke a sense of classiness and elegance, reminiscent of Jennifer Aniston’s iconic style. According to Caroline Broadbent, salon director at Avenue Boutique, face-framing layers offer subtle movement and shape around the client’s face, with the added benefit of being specifically designed to suit individual face shapes. This haircut boasts a remarkable degree of versatility.
“This style looks sleek and professional when blow-dried smooth but can be transformed into a bouncy wavy blow-dry for a more dynamic look,” Broadbent explains. She also notes that for clients with curly hair, the simple layering technique can alleviate excess weight, encouraging and enhancing natural curls.
7. Straight Hair
For those who prefer a low-maintenance yet timeless style, Nikki Corzine, master hairstylist, and owner of The Canyon Salon in California, recommends classic straight hair. Corzine highlights that straight hair offers a sleek and polished look that withstands the test of time. Its enduring popularity is attributed to its simplicity, ease of achievement, and maintenance.
“Straight hair has a sleek and polished look,” she says. “It’s also easy to achieve and maintain, making it a choice that will always be in style.”
