In the present day fashion scenario, bobs are of various types, suiting both the classic and modern trend. The traditional or classic trend includes the basic types like short, chin, and long bobs. The short bobs that are cut in a blunt style with layers to give a hick and fluffy look to thin hairs. Chin length bobs are cut to the jaw line and are slightly shorter at the back. This kind is most suitable for round face as it gives a sleek and longer appeal to the facial structure. Long bobs are cut into form of layers in a subtle way and are best suited to round or oval facial structures.

The classic cut is infused with western influences and style to give a modern look to the original bobs. Today, inverted bob and angled bob are running the trend of bob haircuts. While giving the cut of an inverted bob cut, hairs are stacked with textured layers at the back to give more volume and texture to the crown whereas in case of angled bob, hairs are evenly cut at an angle leaving some portion of the hairs longer at the front. These two types are give an elegant and chic look with any kind of dress at any place and at any occasion.

Apart from these, there are wavy, spiky, mod, and asymmetrical bob haircuts that are also a part of the current fashion trends. Wavy bob hairstyles are evenly cut at the neckline and are extremely easy to maintain. Spiky bob hair cuts are cut extremely short at the back and long at the sides with texture. Mod bobs are hair cuts with texture that are accented with heavy bangs. Asymmetrical bob style is a completely different hairstyle with no symmetry as the hairs are cut in a manner that one side of hair cut holds shorter or longer hairs than the other side. All these different types are much popular even amongst known celebrities. Apart from the existing types, the starts and artists further manipulate the style and cut in their own desired way to add more vibrancy and elegance to their haircut. These haircuts then add up to the types of bobs running the hair fashion trends.

Katie Holmes, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, Nicole Ritchie - these are just a few celebrities who don the bob these days. Indeed, bobs are getting their way back into the fashion world and are fast becoming a trend. Bobs have actually been around for many decades. They started in the 1920s when women and their fashion sense evolved from conservative to liberated and this evolution did not spare their hair. Those who had to wear long straight, wavy, or curly hair all their lives could now cut their manes and be more adventurous. Those with bobs tended to be more confident because of its stylish and sophisticated look. More essentially, the hairstyle made the women prouder for the freedom they gained during this decade.

Katie Holmes
To get her bob hairstyle, there are two things to keep in mind. First, you need to have really straight hair so if you have those curls or waves, get them straightened by a hairstylist using a hair iron. Second, tell your hairstylist to cut your hair along the length or contours of your jaw such that your hair ends up looking like it's hugging your face from the jaw upwards. You should have your hair layered to the shape your face and cut shorter at the back.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth has a squarish jawline so if you have the same facial structure, this can look good on you, too. Long bobs can be flattering to all facial structures and you can try it by having your hair straightened first (if you have waves or curls) before getting it cut shoulder length or enough that it touches your clavicle.

Nicole Ritchie
Nicole's long bob with sweet side swept bangs looks good on all facial shapes. To get it, have your hairstylist cut your hair up to the base of your neck. Your bangs should be eye level but swept to one side.

Chelsea Hobbs
Hers is much like Katie Holmes' bob but is softer on the edges and with longer bangs which shouldn't be thick but layered with less volume. The length goes just below the jaw line but with subtle layering. Even if these hairstyles are donned by celebrities, it doesn't mean you cannot wear them as perfectly as they can. So go and get the best bob for you.
