The boyfriend bob is the perfect laid back summer hair style

The glamour.

The classic bob is one hairstyle that will always be around, whether it’s in its original style or some type of variation, they’re not going anywhere any time soon.

Hair trends come and go, right now long beach waves are back while this time last year we were all obsessing over a shaggy mullet.

While long hair is something we’re seeing a lot more, we can’t forget about a more chopped look and the boyfriend bob is stealing the show.

Everyone from Kaia Gerber to Kim Kardashian to Dua Lipa have all been showing off bobs recently, but giving it a more modern twist and letting their own personality shine through, by showing off a little more neck and keeping it off your back in the heat.

We’re already convinced and the boyfriend bob seems to be in for the summer – just look at Laura Harrier’s hair.

Speaking to Glamour, Adam Reed, UK Editorial Ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel said: “Think of it as a square outlined, shorter, blockier bob.

“It’s so flattering, wearable and totally changeable depending on your personal style.

“Have a conversation with your stylist and they will be able to guide what will suit you best, taking into consideration your face shape, how you style day to day and so on. If you have an image in mind then a photo is always helpful too.”

With a texture spray, this look comes together with a few spritzes onto damp hair before it dries, giving it more grip and mould.

The boyfriend bob is simple and effortless, while still maintaining the wow factor we thrive for when it comes to our hair, and it’s definitely something we’ll be bringing up with our stylist on our next salon visit.
