Find the best bob for your hair type and face shape

Considering a chop? If you’ve been umming and ahhing over whether to let go of your precious lengths all year, trust us: now’s the time. The bob (along with its shaggy cousin, the schlob, and sophisticated older sister, the lob) is going nowhere. But not all bobs, lobs and schlobs are created equal: click through to find the one that best suits your hair type and face shape. - by Anna McClelland

Lea Seydoux

Have fine hair? Ask for a blunt-cut bob with minimal layering to give the illusion of thickness. When tonging, keep the ends straight for a more modern look, as seen here on French beauty Lea Seydoux.

Jennifer Lawrence

J-Law's lob is the stuff #hairgoals are made of - the deep side part and Hollywood wave suits her heart-shaped face. 

Rachel Adams

If you have thick or curly hair, a shaggy bob with lots of layers cut in will do away with the bulk and give you the freedom to play around with various styling techniques. Beachy, textured waves balance out the angles of a square forehead.

Miranda Kerr

Ask for your bob to be cut longer around your face and shorter at the back – subtly, now – for a perpetually polished look with none of the associated maintenance. The shape this gives works whether your hair is poker straight, curly or wavy.

Lara Worthington

Wavy hair types can afford to go shorter – style with a ‘90s-esque blow over and a liberal spritz of texturising spray.

Emma Stone

A bob or lob with tousled waves is perfect for balancing out an oval face, which require more body around cheekbone-height to really make them pop. A side part or side-swept fringe breaks up a long forehead.

 

Sienna Miller

A centre part helps narrow a round face; ask for a lob with asymmetrical layers to give movement and body. This look works on virtually all hair types.
