When the likes of Zendaya and Hailey Bieber step out with a fresh cut, the world sits up and takes notice. And when they both opt for the same sizzling style? That’s when we know we’ve got a game-changer on our hands. Say hello to the Bubble Bob, the cut that’s turning heads and ruling feeds from New York to LA and beyond.
But what exactly is a Bubble Bob, and why is it the cool-girl cut of the moment? Picture this: a bob that falls like a bubble, with ends that are as bouncy as they are chic. Celebrity hairstylist Chad Wood spills the beans, “The bubble was originally known for its straight ends, but now, this hairstyle has more volume and definitive lines, with beveled ends that are easy to achieve.”
This isn’t just a haircut; it’s a statement that plays double duty, looking as good on the streets as it does on the red carpet. Harry Josh, another celebrity stylist, sees it as an ’80s redux, inspired by the likes of Belinda Carlisle. “This we have not seen in a long time,” he says. “It’s less about the haircut and more about the styling.”
The Bubble Bob is a chameleon, working its magic on thin and thick hair alike. Wood notes, “You can angle or flip the ends, add in curls, or leave it smooth.” It’s a cut that complements a range of face shapes, from round to square, heart-shaped, and inverted triangle.
But how do you style this versatile cut? The secret lies in the finishing touches. “It allows you to easily go between styles,” Josh says. “Whether you want to work it straight and chic, or full and round with some movement on the ends, it’s really just the switch of a brush and some products.”
For those hot summer days, Wood recommends the air-dry route with Verb Ghost Air Dry Whip, leaving your hair with a natural wave and peak that looks like you spent hours with a hairdryer.
The Bubble Bob is more than just a haircut; it’s a symbol of versatility and ease, perfect for the woman on the go who doesn’t have time to fuss but still wants to turn heads. It’s a cut that’s as much at home on the beach as it is at the boardroom. Ready to join the ranks of the fashion-forward with a Bubble Bob? Because when it comes to your hair, why not make a splash?
