Bob hairstyles have not always been the first choice for women when it comes to short haircuts. In the early years it was customary for women to have long hair. This meant not cutting it and only a few minutes available for washing and drying it. You can certainly see why, when women started cutting their hair, life was turned upside down. Never before had women been so bold as to walk into a barber shop and pay to have their long beautiful hair cut down to a men’s style.
This uproar was mainly the result of a Paris hairdressers’ inspiration into the beautiful Joan of Arc. So, in 1909, Antoine became the first to introduce the bob hairstyle to women. Unfortunately, it did not catch on completely until the twenties when women were looking for a bold way to claim their independence. It then took many more years before people, in general, got the idea that the bob hairstyle was more than a men’s style, it had evolved and emerged into a fashionable style a woman could be proud to wear.
For many women, the short bob hairstyle is one of their favorites. It can be cut short for a fun look or it can be left longer for a more sophisticated appeal. The variations available for this style are endless. With the new trend in razor cuts, you can add a new dimension to the old boring bob of yesterday. It can work well for those with straight hair as well as curly and is definitely not discriminative of age. For a super special bob look, add multidimensional layers and multifaceted color. The bob hairstyle may have been a man’s haircut when it first started out but has really come into its own as the new look for 2012.
