We love a haircut trend as much as the next person. But, there is something to be said for a timeless haircut than transcends a season. While trends come and go quickly, there are classic haircuts that stand the test of time.
One of which is the textured bob, a haircut that suits everyone and always looks chic. With more and more celebrities embracing every iteration of the bob, from the Italian bob to the box bob, there is something to be said for a classic short haircut with some well-placed layers that makes this haircut a winner. And as we head into autumn, I’m seeing the textured bob all over my feeds right now.
So, what actually is a textured bob? While they vary between person to person and hair texture, they typically involve a chin-length cut, with layers throughout the hair. The beauty of the textured bob is that it works across all hair textures. If you have fine hair, some soft layering helps to add body and volume to your lengths, while those with thicker hair can really embrace choppier layers that give the hair great movement and bounce. On curly hair, carefully placed layers help to add shape and allow individual curls to shine. And if you have a fringe, this haircut looks amazing with a textured bob too.
