May we introduce: the Shoulder Blade Bob! Previously more of a transitional hairstyle, today the haircut is one of the must-haves this winter. Because it offers that certain extra.
It is and remains a classic haircut: the bob. Short, cool and somehow always fits. But every now and then we catch ourselves getting a little bored with the omnipresent hairstyle and looking for alternatives. A little longer perhaps? Especially in the cool months, many people suddenly long for a long mane of Rapunzel that casually peeks out from under their hat. For that certain pinch of change from your summer self. If it didn’t take so long…
It’s still worth a try: We’re sending the tried-and-tested bob into the winter break this season and are providing the perfect interim solution with the shoulder blade bob, which still reminds us of our favorite by name, but visually already points the way towards Rapunzel hair points.
Curtain up… That’s what’s behind the shoulder blade bob
The name Shoulder Blade Bob already refers to the identifying mark of the trend hairstyle: the shoulder. The hair length here is a little longer than the classic bob, which ends at chin level – the perfect middle ground between a longer midi cut and a shorter short bob! In addition, depending on how it is cut, the hairstyle can reflect the vibe of the Change the cut straight away. Blunt ends give an elegant, sleek finish, while a soft, rounded cut looks a little more relaxed and feminine. A few invisible, soft layers provide texture and volume. Bought!
Who does the hairstyle suit?
The extra-long bob suits every type and every face shape – whether oval, round or heart-shaped. And that’s simply because it gently caresses the face: angular shapes appear softer, round ones appear less round. Another advantage: the hairstyle is suitable for both thick and fine hair. Women with fine hair are better off opting for a compact cut in which all the hair is cut to one length. This gives more volume. If you have thicker hair, you can thin out the ends or have them cut in layers. This means the hair falls softer and appears less heavy. Bangs also look good with a trendy hairstyle and also flatter the face.
This is how you style the shoulder blade bob
Welcome to longbob land. Because even with the currently popular bob, the possibilities are almost limitless. This is demonstrated by women with all sorts of hair colors and textures. The most famous ones would be Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian and Alexa Chung. The shoulder blade bob looks particularly relaxed on all wearers with gentle curls that can easily be conjured into the hair with a curling iron or straightening iron. Attention: Don’t forget heat protection spray and mousse in advance for longer hold! Finally, loosen the waves slightly with your fingers and the trendy hairstyle is ready.
