Think of the Hollywood bob as the Marilyn Monroe of chin-skimming styles. It’s glamorous, voluptuous and classically polished. The bouncy bob is a style that feels both modern and nostalgic, with a sprinkle of Old Hollywood allure.
Compared to the other stylish crops topping the list of 2024 hair trends (like the 'Hydro' bob or French bob), the Hollywood bob delivers oodles of oomph, starting with maxed-out root lift and finishing with big barrel waves. No wonder then that this big, bouncy bob has been anointed as the premier choice of bob hairstyles by our favourite A-list celebrities. "Bobs will always be in," admits Desmond Grundy, celebrity hairstylist and Bristows Ambassador. "They are so stylish and absolutely timeless." Regarding the Hollywood bob specifically, Grundy defines it as, "all about glamour, bounce and volume, with lots of movement, lifting from the roots right through to the ends."
