Going for the chop? These are the best bob haircuts for different face shapes

Nothing signals the start of winter quite like the return of the bob. Each cold-weather season, the mid-length cut gains popularity for many reasons: it’s easier to manage than long hair, pairs well with all the layers we’re wearing (think scarves, turtlenecks and coats), and it feels fitting to transition into the New Year with a new do.

A-listers have caught onto the trend too. Just last week, Kendall Jenner posted a video on TikTok showing off her flippy, jaw-grazing bob, while Keira Knightely introduced a wavy take on the trend during her press tour for her new Netflix thriller Black Doves, and Selena Gomez has been making a case for a shoulder-grazing bob with lots of bounce and volume.
A bob is favoured by the A-list for its volume, bounce and low maintenance. Now that the weather outside is frightful (IYKYK), the bob is having another moment – and for good reason. ‘It’s flattering on absolutely everyone,’ says Bobby Collier (@thehairystylist), hair stylist at Larry King. ‘That’s why I think it’s such a nice haircut. It’s low maintenance and works with all hair types.’.
That being said, there are a few things to consider before going for the chop. You don’t have to go ultra-short. ‘A bob can sit anywhere in the gap between your jawline and shoulders,’ says Collier. ‘It just needs to have that “swing.”. Your face shape is an important factor. While a bob should suit your style and personality, certain iterations do work better with certain faces.
