June 2024: What About Bobs?, Page 3

This photo from the Latest Hairstyles site in 2016 shows a bob at its riskiest. Curl drops to cover an eyebrow, then takes a dramatic turn to go around the model's eye. The style looks like it's one flick of a finger from defeat - but it's undoubtedly held in place by a very strong spray.

CARA DELEVINGNE turned the waves in a different direction in April 2023. She unveiled a sidepart bob with what one beauty writer describes as "voluminous layers." If you're thinking about perming a bob, it could look like this and remain strong.

MEGAN FOX tried out a "red velvet bob" in September 2023 - coloring her usually-brunette hair and placing it scarcely a half-inch from her eyes on either side. We're left to wonder if any spray was added. But we love how Fox and the models above stare at Hair Fans, almost challenging them to move in for a test of strength.

CONCLUSION: While some may find bobs boring, they can be styles in eye-catching, sultry and even "cliff-hanging" ways. And they could be deceptive, in terms of their vulnerability. We say the best bobs have both beauty and brinkmanship - and if they can endure a little bullying (within limits), so much the better.
