Hair Play: The Perfect Bob








While I enjoy researching specialty styling techniques from days gone by, I must admit what truly holds my attention are classic cuts. When done on the correct type of hair these cuts require minimal styling. By minimal I mean no sleeping in pincurls at night, no curling irons,hot rollers, etc. My first love was the bob. What other haircut has fallen in our good graces every decade since the 1920's I ask you?
It has a timeless appeal that somehow simultaneously nods toward the past and respects our modern sensibilities.
The bobs pictured here are as follows:
Louise Brooks
Keely Smithy
Nancy Kwan
Christina Ricci
Ranging from the 1920's to present day.
Look for my 2nd love next week...
