Bob hairstyles come and go … the hacked bob is currently all the rage and is sure to be here for a while! Here you can find out what makes it and how you style the bob.

Hacked Bob: The 2020 hairstyle trend

The bob in a new look: with its edges and choppy lines, it is anything but fine and delicate – instead, it creates a dramatic wild look!

The name hacked bob is no coincidence: the hair should work, as if they were being hacked off with an ax. Gentle steps are not an option! But accuracy has no place here either, because the Hacked Bob is good at it look a little chaotic and undone – messy style par excellence!

This is how you style the hacked bob

  • Let a professional do the haircut: Your hairdresser knows how to tease out a bit of volume with the right cut. A layered haircut has no business with the Hacked Bob (in contrast to the Choppy Bob): the ends of the hair are cut on a straight but not accurate line. The hair should give the impression that it has been roughly cut – slightly angular, but without losing the casual look.
  • When styling, you should focus on volume and the hair light muddle through. Add some texture spray to the roots and lengths and knead the hair with your hands. Whether you part in the middle or on the side is entirely up to you!

tip: If you omit the texture spray, you can also style the bob smooth.

The stars have already discovered the hacked bob for themselves: actress Lucy Boynton and model Kaia Gerber, for example, wear it by styling one side forward while the other side is stroked behind the ear (ear tuck).
