It’s true—the bob haircut is the hairstyle of 2023. Right from the beginning of the year, we’ve seen celebs from Hailey Bieber to Zendaya go for the chop on their longer lengths in favour of chin-skimming bobs, blunt bobs, French bobs, Italian bobs—you get the picture. On my recent visit to the hair salon, my hairstylist said that short hair was being requested left, right and centre from their clientele. So, it’s safe to say that the bob is set to reign this year.
Of course, the bob is a classic hairstyle that stands the test of time. But, if there is one bob trend we’re seeing rise this season, it’s the bubble bob. This is one bob hairstyle micro trend that’s been bubbling (sorry) up as we head into the warmer months. But what exactly is a bubble bob?
The bubble bob gets its name from its rounded proportions, which has plenty of volume at the roots, bounce through the middle and flicky layers that give an aerated, swishy and care-free swing. Just what the doctor ordered as we head into the warmer weather.
In fact, we’ve spotted a couple of celebs of late opt for this rounded bob hairstyle, and we can only expect it to gain more momentum as we head into summer. So, if you’re looking for some bubble bob haircut ideas, scroll on ahead for some inspo and the key hairstyling products to achieve the look. Off you pop!
