Hair trends often come and go, but the bob remains a timeless classic. Joining the trend this fall is Beyoncé, who recently flaunted her new bob hairstyle on Instagram. The bob’s versatility is showcased through its endless adaptations, from the popular lob to chin-length styles with bangs or waves. Beyoncé’s version features a curved, face-framing style with an icy blond hue.
Seen in her photos, the singer sports a chin-length bob characterized by volume and a unique curve that wraps towards her face, peeking out even from under her cowboy hat. “It emanates power and formality,” says Rogerio Cavalcante, a hairstylist from The Second Floor Salon in New York City. Achieving Beyoncé’s iconic look can be done by focusing on styling essentials.
For the perfect cut, ask for a chin-length bob with a blunt finish. Style with volumizing mousse on damp hair, a key product for adding fullness. Utilize a blow dryer and round brush to lift each hair section, creating volume. To form the signature C-shape hugging the chin, turn the brush inward while drying. Finally, apply finishing spray to gain a polished look devoid of texture.
Will this styling choice for a bob set the trend this fall? If Beyoncé’s influence is any indicator, the answer seems to be a likely yes.
