The 90s Bob Cut Is the New Beauty Trend for Short Hair

Just like fashion, beauty trends are also cyclical. Something that went out of fashion more than ten years ago can become a trend again at any time, especially with the speed of information due to the internet and social media. One example is the return of the Y2K style, with clothes and looks from the early 2000s. Therefore, the bob cut could not fail to return to trends. Famous in the 90s, this cut is easier to maintain and adds volume to straight hair.

Bob cut is back

The Bob cut, which was famous in the 90s, has several variations, such as the Hydro Bob, which was a trend among celebrities at the beginning of this year. One of the variations of this cut, which is back in fashion, is the flob cut. The difference between the bob and the flob is in the layers. While the bob cut is a straight cut, the flob cut adds layers to the hair, especially on the top, which creates more volume. Those with curly or frizzy hair already know about this technique, which prevents the hair from forming a triangle shape. The same idea is applied to the flob cut for straight hair, which usually does not have as much volume as wavy, curly and frizzy hair.

In a conversation with Glamour, hairstylist Marc Mena says that the difference between a bob and a flob is precisely in the layers, which make it easier to flip or part the hair. Mena says that, because it is a straight cut, a bob can give the impression of heavy hair. With a flob, on the other hand, since the layers are created at the time of cutting and in different directions, the ends create movement in the hair. In addition, a flob can be a little below the shoulders or shorter.

Cut maintenance and care

Just like any cut, the flob also requires maintenance. However, because it is a layered cut, it is easier to maintain at home. Marc Mena explains that because of the layers, it is possible to style the hair differently every day. He also says that, to style the cut even more, it is possible to use a styling mousse and then finish with a round brush and a blow dryer, giving more volume to the strands. It is also possible to let the hair dry naturally.

Other tips for keeping your hair healthy include eating a healthy diet and staying hydrated, since hair hydration and nourishment happen from the inside out. In addition, you can use non-comedogenic oils on your hair to help nourish it, as well as moisturizing masks to help maintain hydration. Another important tip is to visit your hairdresser regularly to keep your hair cut, since hair does not grow evenly and evenly all over your head.
