Timeless, of course, it is far from “grandmother” because it is readily personalized according to the type of hair, its texture and the desired effect.

With its locks shorter than long or mid-length hair, the bob is an ideal hairstyle tip to avoid having too damaged ends when you have gray hair. Hair which, let us remember, is weakened by the absence of melanin, a protective pigment which gives hair its color. Finer than pigmented hair, gray hair is also drier, more porous, and sometimes even more rebellious than the others. But in addition to this benefit, it is also a perfect haircut to give them back their volume and pace. The proof by 3 with these rejuvenating bob cuts of celebrities who wonderfully sublimate gray hair, while offering a youthful look to the face.
