Ideal for adding volume to fine hair, easy to wear and style, the choppy bob will be the essential haircut for spring 2024. We tell you everything about this trendy bob cut.
Already very trendy in 2023, the “choppy bob” or “chopped bob” was notably popularized by actress Jenna Ortega in the series Wednesday. This layered and unstructured bob cut is once again one of the strong hairstyle trends of 2024, but it comes in a version a little shorter and dynamic. This spring, the choppy bob is worn mid-neck for an even more voluminous and airy effect. It can also be combined with straight, short or curtain bangs depending on the styles and desires.
Asked by Refinery29London hairdresser Ryan Wilkes defines this haircut as a bob that is easy to style and shape thanks to a subtle play on gradients: “It should give the impression of not looking too put together. He must have a round line with slightly unstructured tips”. As you will have understood, this “effortless” bob cut is ideal for those looking for a bob that adds volume and movement to the hair, without being too difficult to style.

How to wear the choppy bob, the essential square for spring 2024
Although very trendy in its short version, just below the ears, the choppy bob can be adapted to all face shapes by being worn a little longer just above the shoulders. The gradient can also be adjusted to match the oval of the face or sculpt the volumes of the hair according to your needs.
It is also in its formatting that the choppy bob is very versatile. Magnificent on straight hair, to which it adds a lot of volume, it can also be suitable for curly or wavy hair. To give it this styled/disheveled appearance, it is advisable to work on the hair when drying with conditioning and texturizing products, in particular a spray or a mousse that can be applied directly to the roots. The lengths must have this very matte textured side which can be obtained with a wax or styling powder. In 2024, the choppy bob can be worn without hesitation with bangs, to give it a little retro and glamorous touch. It can be short, for a very structured and graphic effect, or a little longer and tapered to give more softness and roundness to the haircut.

If your hair lacks volume and density, the choppy bob can allow you to gain movement and lightness. Opt for its short version, just below the ears or mid-neck and match it with curtain bangs to soften the oval of the face. The gradient must be worked subtly to bring movement to the hair without making it lose density. For formatting, choose a wavy or curly effect taking care not to wave the ends of the hair to create a more modern and trendy result.
