Glossy, Timeless and Rich Looking—This Short Haircut Will Dominate This Winter

As a beauty editor who often writes about the latest hair trends, I spend a lot of my time looking at different bob haircuts. This short hairstyle has been in style for what feels like forever, and I'm not mad about it. In fact, I think it's the perfect haircut to wear this autumn and winter, as it will pair perfectly with chunky knitwear and coats. However, choosing what bob haircut to go for can be tricky, as there are so many options out there.
After having a look on Instagram and doing a quick search on Google Trends, it seems that this season there is one bob haircut that is proving particularly popular, and that's the sleek bob.
Now, as the name suggests, this hairstyle is super glossy and chic. It usually consists of a blunt bob haircut, but it also works beautifully with layers. The trick is to use a hair tool of your choice to get that sleek, polished finish. I would also suggest adding a little bit of hair oil or shine spray for a silky smooth look. What I love about this style is that it's totally timeless and will easily elevate any outfit.
Don't believe me? Keep on scrolling for some of the chicest sleek bob haircuts to try this autumn and winter...
