17 Choppy Bob Haircut Ideas and Styling Tricks
Whether you've already got a shorter haircut (and you're looking for ways to spice it up) or you're about to have a major hair overhaul, let us introduce you—or, perhaps, re-introduce you—to the choppy bob. Popularised in the 90s, thanks to Jennifer Aniston's iconic 'The Rachel' cut on Friends, the choppy bob is once again back in the spotlight, taking over our social media feeds and appearing on the likes of Hailey Bieber, Jenna Ortega, Yara Shahidi, Emma Myers, and more. Leaning towards getting one yourself? We don't blame you! Here's everything you need to know about the choppy bob haircut, including how to style the soon-to-be everywhere look, according to expert Ryan Forsythe at Trevor Sorbie. Plus, scroll on for 17 inspiring choppy bob styles to suit all face shapes and hair types... "A choppy bob is a textured, layered take on the classic bob, with deliberately uneven or piece-y ends that create movement and an effortless, tousled look," says Forsythe, artistic education director at Trevor Sorbie, a multi-award-winning hair salon in London. "A choppy bob is designed to feel modern, a little edgy and low-maintenance," he continues. "A choppy bob style suits a variety of face shapes," the expert tells us, before adding that it works "especially well" on oval and heart-shaped faces because "the texture softens the features and adds balance". As for which hair types work well with a choppy bob, according to Forsythe, this hairstyle is ideal for "straight to wavy hair types". That's because "these textures help show off the layers and natural movement." What's more, the expert explains that fine hair benefits from a choppy bob, too. "The choppiness can create the illusion of volume," he says. "The best way to style a choppy bob is to enhance its natural texture," Forsythe advises. As for how to do that, the expert says to use "sea salt sprays, light mousses or texturizing creams, followed by a rough blow dry or air dry." "A quick bend with straighteners or curling irons can add definition to the layers," he notes, adding: "Finishing with a wax/texture spray will really bring the style to life."

The Textured Bob Is the Coolest Haircut That Basically Styles Itself
There truly is a bob haircut for everyone. From Lily Collins's sharp and sleek version to the soft and tousled French bob, there are more iterations of the bob than ever before. The good news is—a bob hairstyle needn't be hard to maintain. In fact, if you're looking for a low-maintenance haircut, we've found the ultimate style for you. Say hello to the textured bob: soft, wispy, and full of movement, this cut suits pretty much everyone and is as easy to style as it is to maintain. So if you're looking for an updated hairstyle, here's why you might want to consider the textured bob. 'A textured bob is a modern take on the classic bob haircut that incorporates layers, movement, and sometimes a bit of an undone, tousled look,' explains Ryan Forsythe, artistic education director at Trevor Sorbie. He adds: 'Unlike a blunt bob, which has clean, sharp lines, a textured bob creates a softer, more relaxed shape. It can be customized to add volume, reduce weight in thicker hair, or give finer hair a fuller appearance.' The textured bob is a go-to choice for those who want an easy-to-manage style while still looking polished. Whether you have fine hair that needs a little lift or thick hair that could use some weight taken out, the textured bob can be tailored to suit your needs. 'A textured bob works for almost all hair types and face shapes,' says Forsythe. 'It's particularly great for people who want a low-maintenance yet chic haircut.' The layers and movement within the cut allow it to be styled in various ways, from loose and relaxed for everyday to polished and perfected for parties and events. One of the best things about the textured bob is how easy it is to maintain. Thanks to its layered structure, it requires less frequent trims than a blunt cut and grows out easily. The textured layers also mean you can go lighter on heat-styling tools, saving time and keeping your hair healthier in the long run. When it comes to celeb inspo, the textured bob has plenty of fans. 'Emma Stone, Hailey Bieber, and Kaia Gerber have all been spotted with more textured bobs,' says Hasan Sahin, stylist at Larry King Marylebone and South Kensington. Whether it's paired with natural waves or styled straight, the look is endlessly wearable. 'This is a cut that works just as well air-dried and tousled as it does polished and styled,' says Sahin. 'For an undone, modern look, add loose waves to your hair using a flat iron or curling wand while leaving the ends straighter for a more modern look.' 'A texturizing spray or dry shampoo is perfect for adding separation and volume.' 'To create that piecey texture, run through some Larry King A Social Life For Your Hair Cream with your fingertips to rough up the ends of your hair.' This textured bob is perfect for creating movement and a cool-girl edge to the hair. Flip it over and let it air-dry for the ultimate undone texture. Kelly Rowland's slicked-back bob is the ultimate lesson in laid-back styling. Apply a lightweight mousse or soft gel to the hair when wet, and run your fingers through your bob, allowing it to dry naturally pushed back. If you're considering growing out your bob, Laura Harrier's loose and textured lob is easy-to-wear but oh-so-chic. Subtle layers add depth and dimension to this cut—making this style a great choice for those with fine or flat hair. This mega-volume, low-maintenance style on Rita Ora is perfect for those who want something simple but elevated. Shaggy layers and a tousled finish make this style ideal for anyone who wants a relaxed but intentional vibe. Maren Morris's textured finish to a bob with a face-framing fringe feels instantly fresh.
