There's also the longer-length bobs, made popular by the likes of Olivia Palermo and Daisy Edgar-Jones, whether that's sleek or slightly shaggy, it's perhaps
Either way, a new crop is a serious commitment that can't be easily reversed if it isn't quite right. Which is why, if you’re considering going in for the chop, it’s important to know exactly what you want before you get going. Jonathan Soons and Redken UK Ambassador Larry King have offered up a little advice.
The sliced bob is the sleekest short hair cut that does all the hard work for you

“Anyone can pull off a bob. However, there are definitely styling tricks that suit different face shapes and textures, so it’s important to take all of that into consideration before getting started,” says Larry.
Determine your face shape
“If you have a round face, you should opt for a bob that finishes closer to the collarbone to elongate your face. For those with a heart-shaped face, make your bob super short to accentuate the jaw line and cheekbones, and if you have a square face, go for a length that sits below the jaw and break it up with a grown-out fringe,” explains Larry. And if you have an oval-shape face? You’re in luck – you can take your pick.
Think about your neck
“If you have a long neck, it opens you up to a lot of choice on bob length. However, the shorter your neck, the more classic the bob needs to be. To avoid making your neck look any shorter, keep your cut jaw-length and above,” says Jonathan.
Consider your hair type
For those with thick hair, the risk of your cut turning mushroom-esque is all too real. “If your hair is thick, you need to keep it longer in order to weigh it down. Ask your stylist to slice into it, but refrain from cutting in layers,” says Larry.
