We love a haircut trend, but there's something to be said for a timeless cut than transcends seasons. Whilst trends come and go quickly, there are classic some haircuts that stand the test of time. One of these is the textured bob; a haircut that suits everyone and always looks chic. With more and more celebrities embracing every iteration of the bob, from the Italian bob to the box bob, it's clear that a classic, short cut with some well-placed layers makes the bob a winner. And as we head into winter, I'm seeing the textured bob all over my feeds.
So, what actually is a textured bob? Whilst it varies according to individual hair texture, this style typically involves a chin-length cut with layers throughout the hair. If you have fine hair, some soft layering helps to add body and volume to your lengths, and those with thicker hair can really embrace choppier layers that give the hair great movement and bounce. On curly hair, carefully placed layers help to add shape whilst allowing your curl pattern to shine. And if you have a fringe, this haircut will look amazing for you, too.
If you're ready to go for the chop, scroll ahead for plenty of textured-bob haircut inspiration and ideas to take to your next salon appointment.
