Looking at These 26 Blonde Bobs Made Me Cut My Hair

Being experimental with your hair doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go all-out with new hues, statement fringing, or lashings of layers. Often, the simplest switches make the most impact, and with a new decade on the fast approach, now is the ideal time to think about shaking up your look. 

For me, this was a cut. I recently chopped off my lengthy blonde hair to join the bob brigade. A few weeks back, after researching for a feature on blunt bob hairstyles, I convinced myself to go for the chop, which was masterfully created by session stylist Jenn Linton of Linton & Mac.
