“Bob” haircuts originated over 100 years ago by Cabaret dancers in France and are still popular to this day—that’s more than you can say for most hairstyles or fashion choices! The secret of this hairstyle’s lasting popularity is its classic, feminine style and the various ways it can be styled.
Notable 20th Century French fashion designer Coco Chanel loved the idea of the Cabaret short hairstyle and incorporated it into her look, making it a part of her everyday style. This was the point in history that really put the bob on the map.
The main characteristics of this hairdo are firm contours and effective volume. Thanks to this combination, this style can work for any hair type and face shape.
A bob looks especially at its best on straight or wavy hair. Its contour and complex volumes in the back of the head on on the crown of the head accentuate hair structure perfectly.
A bob haircut with bangs can really accentuate your own personal style and individuality. But before you take this plunge and go for this hairstyle, make sure to define to your hairstylist exactly what you want to fit your look. The first step in choosing a proper hairstyle is to know your face shape. Here are examples of how this hairstyle works with different facial structures:
As we all know there is no such thing as a perfect oval-shaped face, but it’s possible to correct this visually if you choose the right hairstyle. If you have a round or angular face, choose a medium-length haircut with outlined banged hair. In this case, the length of the side strands should be no higher than your chin level.
A straight bang makes heavy facial features more balanced. Smooth, thick bangs are trendy. A contrast in the length along with side strands makes a sharp contour, which causes the face to appear slimmer and more angular.
Only a hair professional can master the perfect bob haircut with shorter length in back that accentuates neck lines.

This type of haircut becomes women with both round and elongated faces. Strands of hair on the sides of the face should be shoulder length. In this case, the back of the hair should be the same length as the sides, as it will create an original silhouette and expressive volume.
Opting for light strands of bangs instead of thick-straight cut ones also works harmoniously with this type of bob. An elongated bob narrows faces, so this style balances face proportions to do the additional volume close to the cheekbones.
Long, straight thick bangs look very trendy in combination with profiled or graduated side strands. This contrast of shapes and angles emphasizes facial features and creates a unique image.
