Forget the Trends—This Classic, Low-Maintenance Bob Hairstyle Will Forever Be In

I know what you're thinking—not another bob trend to get on board with, surely? Don't worry though, as this isn't really a trend, but more of an effortless hairstyle that all the chicest people seem to sport. That's right, I'm talking about the wavy bob. Now you know I love nothing more than big, bouncy curls, however, after looking at various wavy bob hairstyles on Instagram, I've grown very fond of this more relaxed, laid-back style. Not only is it easy to re-create, but it gives that perfect "I woke up like this" finish to the hair that I've tried desperately hard to master over the years.

So, if you're thinking about giving this chic, low-maintenance look a go, keep on scrolling for some of the best wavy bob hairstyles out there. I'm pretty sure you'll love them as much as I do.

That being said, a side parting also looks super chic.
