The bob haircut is back and better than ever in 2024. Bell-bottom bobs, slinky bobs, feathered bobs… there’s a style to suit everyone.

It’s versatile enough to be dressed up at the Met Gala (as demonstrated by Sydney Sweeney and Michelle Yeoh) and dressed down for your local coffee run. And while we’re embracing nostalgic 90s trends, including scrunchies, claw clips and dungarees, it’s hardly surprising that there’s been a revival of the popular 00s blunt bob style too.

A staple for It girls of the time, such as Winona Ryder and Jennifer Aniston, it saw women chop back their hair to chin length and choose a voluminous finish.

The cut has since had a resurgence ahead of the summer months as a chic bob haircut that’s quick and easy to style.

Nadia Foster, hairstylist and co-owner of Foster London, explains: “The 90s bob is an iconic hairstyle that has fluctuated from bold, blunt and one-length to soft and choppy through to asymmetric. More recently, it’s come to be known as the French bob and even the bottleneck bob.”

“It is usually worn with a fringe as it has a blunt base, although this varied throughout the 90s, with the asymmetrical bob becoming popular towards the turn of the millennium.”
