Hollywood's Best Bob Hairstyles

Top 5 Haircuts and Colors Right Now

1. Piecey Bob

JANUARY JONES’S STYLE: A below-the-chin, above-the-shoulders cut with long, choppy layers.

WHAT MAKES IT HOT: ”The length of this bob is what really creates that sexiness,” says celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend. “It’s meant to hit right at the sloping curve of the neck.”

WHO IT WORKS FOR: Every line of this haircut has been broken-up with thinning shears, which allows the hair to fall loosely with very little styling. Read: If you’re a shower, shake and go girl, this might be the perfect do for you.

2. Modern Pixie

CATE BLANCHETT'S STYLE: A longish pixie shorn tightly on the sides with cheekbone length hair on top.

WHAT MAKES IT HOT: “This is a classic haircut, but it can be styled so many different ways,” says Townsend. The deep side part gives the pixie an understated elegance; a dab of mousse scrunched into damp strands could take the crop in a mod, ’60s direction.

WHO IT WORKS FOR: According to Townsend, a short cut is a great option for someone looking to lose brittle, damaged hair. “It’s also a perfect way to show off a long, graceful neck like Cate’s,” he says.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Hidden Layers

GWYNETH PALTROW’S STYLE: Below-the-shoulders strands and scattered, imperceptible layers.

WHAT MAKES IT HOT: Face-framing layers à la Rachel Green may finally be a thing of the past. As Townsend sees it, a uniform length is more 2010; razored ends give the cut movement and keep it from looking drab or drapey.

WHO IT WORKS FOR: “Honestly, this cut works for nearly any face shape. Styling it with off-center part would flatter a heart-shaped face, a center part looks stunning on an oval face,” he says.

4. Long Fringe

EVA MENDES’S STYLE: Side-swept bangs that fall along the bridge of the nose.

WHAT MAKES IT HOT: “Lots of women are bothered by hair in their eyes,” says Townsend. “If you can stand it, there’s just something incredibly racy about swingy, eyelash-grazing bangs.”

WHO IT WORKS FOR: These bangs look great on a variety of face shapes but they’re especially effective in minimizing a longer face.

5. Extra-Long Layers

KIM KARDASHIAN’S STYLE: Gradual layers that start at the chin.

WHAT MAKES IT HOT : “If your hair is this long, keeping it a single length can look like a flat sheet of hair. These long, uniform layers give the style a luxe, controlled movement,” says Townsend.

WHO IT WORKS FOR: “This cut is best for someone with lots of thick hair, be it natural or extensions. Fine hair can look straggly with too many layers,” he says.
