The Bob hairstyle became popular by the flappers in the 1920’s and over a century later it’s still one of the hottest hairstyles to have; whether you opt for a long bob aka the Lob, a shoulder-grazing choppy style or a blunt jaw-skimmer – the bob is the A-list hairstyle in 2021.
A bob haircut is a timeless and chic look. A choppy bob haircut can be cut to any length, the interior layers are what gives the hairstyle the volume.
Chin-grazing and shorter cropped cuts are also occupying the leading positions as the most stylish bob versions. These show off cool choppy or fringy edges, fun asymmetry, and gorgeous textures. The stacked bob haircut is a bob style with a weight line at the back of the head that is gradually elevated at a 45-degree angle.
A blunt cut bob is a shorter hairstyle that is cut into a straight line at the ends. This version is popular because of its edginess and sophistication! 
Bobs have proven themselves to be transcending of time with the endless variations.
Some stylists believe that oval face shapes are the most universal for bobs. You can do anything from blunt to short or long, and it can be done on any hair type. Bangs, layers, curls, angles—you name it.
The French Bob is the classic super-short, blunt bob, often with bangs, that looks perfect paired with a beret. A French bob is typically shorter than your typical chin-length bob.
Longer bob styles can be pulled into a luxurious ponytail by gathering the hair at the crown of the head. Use bobby pins to pin up any loose hairs. Secure the ponytail with a rubber band and wrap a band of hair around the ponytail.
If you are 50 or older the pixie bob is one of the most popular short hairstyles. Incorporating tight yet messy curls into your look results in a youthful hairdo.
The Asymmetrical Bob is another popular style this season. No scissors required. Try a deep side part on your chin-length bob, it will give you an angular and asymmetrical style. This works best on bob-length hair, where you can notice the change.
Summer saw a rise in grown-out bobs or lobs, but autumn is all about the sharp, blunt bob which hits at the jawline. Shorter styles, in general, will take center stage with precision cutting. As well as one-length blunt bobs, we will see angular and asymmetrical, which gives face-framing length for round face shapes.
