3 Must-Try Bob Hairstyles – And How To Style Them Like A Pro

The bob never goes out of style, but how are we wearing it in 2025? We spoke to our stylist, Elliot, to hear what he thinks, alongside his top styling tips to nail the look whichever you go for.
The undone French bob
“The undone French bob has a messier, slightly imperfect look – it’s super low maintenance and requires minimal styling. I love it because you can air dry it naturally and still look incredibly stylish. Great for anyone with fine to medium hair, with a naturally wavy texture, it suits those with round, oval or heart-shaped faces.”
How to style it:
“Emphasise the hair’s natural texture using a lightweight mousse, like Zhoosh, or Air Dry Spray. Scrunch and air dry or diffuse for a tousled finish.”
The blunt bob
“Timeless yet modern, this sharp style – which suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces – allows for a sleek, minimalist look. It suits anyone with straight or slightly wavy hair and works best when it sits at or just below the jawline, with no layers.”
How to style it:
“I like to style it straight with a glassy, high-shine finish. Try using a flat iron and smooth flyaways with Almost Everything Cream.”
The old Hollywood bob
“Harking back to the glamorous Golden Age of cinema – see Louise Brooks, and later Elizabeth Taylor – this vintage cut is classic and refined, plus it works on lots of different hair types and face shapes.”
How to style it:
“Use Almost Everything Cream to tame frizz and enhance shine, then blow dry with a round brush, using curling tongs or a wand for loose, vintage-inspiured waves. Pair with a side-parting and a touch of hairspray to hold the style in place.”
