I got my first bob when I was four years old. It was fashioned with dense, eyebrow-length bangs and a blunt cut at my chin that veered into coconut-head territory without my mom's careful styling. After exploring everything from a butterfly cut to a bixie, I'm back in bob land—and it's the defining feature of my favorite winter outfits.
It's truly a short haircut for all seasons, but a chin-length option really thrives in the spring and summer. I love how it looks as it brushes the top of my cute summer dress or when I style it with a fun headband. And when it gets so hot outside and I don't want my hair sticking to my back? A bob really comes in clutch.
