The plunging bob is the trendy short haircut of the year 2021 for women. How to wear it? With what hairstyle? Stock up on hairstyle ideas for your (future) plunging bob!

While some stars fall for XXL length hair – one of the main hairstyle trends of the year 2021 – many of them, too, are gradually being tempted by the bob. This woman's haircut will, indeed, for another consecutive year, be very fashionable in the coming months; whether in spring, summer, autumn or winter … any season combined! For a long time now, we have seen the square on all the heads of the biggest stars on the planet. Kaia Gerber, Jessica Alba, Leïla Bekhti … they all make us fall for short haircuts. What if we really do take our turn?

A square yes, but which one?

There are a multitude of different square cuts: the short square, the strict square, the long square, the tapered square … then finally, the plunging square degraded on the front. The one we had abandoned for a few years and which is coming back to the forefront this year. Yes, in 2021, we will wear the square in the same way as Victoria Beckham. Elegant, sophisticated, a tad strict, the plunging bob is nonetheless one of those glamorous woman haircuts allowing a wide range of hairstyles.

This short haircut will therefore be one of the major beauty trends of 2021. Unlike the fashion of the 2000s, this time it will be worn slightly plunging. A hairstyle that we can just as much twist. And for this, we are obviously inspired by our friends the stars.

Which woman is the square plunge best suited to?

If there are no rules in hairstyle, some face shapes are more highlighted by the plunging square degraded on the front. This is why it is advisable to adopt the short version of the plunging bob when you have a rather long face. Conversely, if our face is round, it is preferable to opt for a longer square which will lengthen the features.

The plunging gradient square in its smooth version

Kim Kardashian, Marion Cotillard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Keira Knightley or Nicole Richie … these are all celebrities who have chosen to wear the plunging bob in a perfectly smooth manner. A hairstyle with a minimalist style and could not be more chic, which has something to seduce! However, it will require a lot of maintenance; whether it is daily with smoothing often every morning for the most rebellious hair, or at the hairdresser. Indeed, a plunging smooth gradient square must reveal perfectly equalized tips at the risk of obtaining a neglected effect result.

To avoid damaging your hair as much as possible, we recommend that you opt for a steam straightener. Steam is much less damaging to the hair compared to the dry heat of a "classic" hair straightener. Our favorite for a long time is the famous L'Oréal Professionnel Steampod. A sure bet!

Ripples for a more glamorous style

Taylor Swift, Rita Ora, Katy Perry and Beyoncé, meanwhile, say "yes" to a mane with more volume. Indeed, the latter regularly wear their pretty short cut with more or less wide waves … but always a perfect volume of hair. A real touch of glamorous style!

For this, several alternatives are available to you. You can choose to create perfect curls using a curling iron, like T3's Curl ID. An intelligent curler that adjusts its temperature according to your profile and your hair.

If you prefer a more natural, lighter and simpler rendering, prefer a plunging wavy gradient square instead. To create it, we recommend that you use a three-cylinder waving iron on your hair.
