Wavy blunt bobs are one of 2024’s most popular hairstyles, and Hailey Bieber’s larger-than-life take on the short hair trend — the bouffant bob — is giving Italian mob-wife chic. The stylist behind Bieber’s glamorous bouffant bob, Bryce Scarlett, glamorized her for photoshoots with FILA and Victoria’s Secret, proving it’s possible to give any drab bob some much-needed volume.
Defining this trend, celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena told Glamour, “The cut has the line and length of the bob, but the top layers have much more texture, so it’s lighter on top and easier to flip around.” This supermodel-inspired cut is the easiest way to step up a boring bob, Mena added, as blunt cuts tend to fall flat if you don’t texturize the hair.
Bieber’s newfound love for Old Hollywood style aligns with another major 2024 trend: the rom-com bob. The bouffant bob features the tousled and effortless elements of beloved rom-com characters, including Meg Ryan in “You’ve Got Mail” and Reese Witherspoon in “Sweet Home Alabama,” but enhances the definition with bouncy curls. And as warmer months roll in, this shorter hairstyle is perfect to pair with frilly summer dresses and sandals. Regardless of which style of bob suits your fancy, remember to keep a blow dryer, rollers, and an arsenal of hair products on hand to keep it in tip-top shape.

One of the trendiest ways to style a wavy, chin-length bob is to wear it with the slicked-back look by combing down your side bangs. Unique textures continue to dominate 2024 runways, so get creative and carry this inspired style into your hairstyles. Combining dynamic and sleek textures will elevate this timeless cut. You can also add finger waves to give it a ’40s-inspired touch.
Chin-length bobs look amazing with curly hair

Blunt bobs look stunning on naturally wavy, curly, and coily hair. Not only does it make it easier to create a wavy look — or negate the need entirely depending on your hair type — but textured locks also lend more volume to shorter hairstyles. For this style, you can part your hair on any side, but it looks especially flattering with a center part and face-framing pieces.
Voluminous bobs look elegant with a deep side part

In 2023, we observed a bombshell blowout renaissance with nostalgic styles like Farrah Fawcett’s iconic ’70s blowout. This year, the supermodel craze has found its way into shorter hair trends in the form of a dramatic side part and a chin-length baroque bob. The “baroque bob is all down to the blow dry and finish. It’s a simple but structured cut that is styled into voluminous sculpted waves,” hairstylist Francesca Inverarity told Vogue. This full-bodied style looks glamorous in both Marilyn Monroe blond and vintage brunette.
Rock a French bob and tousled fringe

The French know how to rock a bob, and the secret to pulling off their chic, laissez-faire style is to amp up the texture. The last thing you want is for your blunt-edge haircut to appear limp and underwhelming, so ask for relaxed layers near the top of the head and a soft, wispy fringe. This wispy front bangs and layered cut give life to thin or pin-straight strands, giving it that naturally tousled look often seen on the streets of Paris.
Complement a blunt bob with bottleneck bangs

As wavy blunt cuts are trending for 2024, this is the perfect time to experiment with Hailey Bieber’s signature blunt bob and dramatic middle part. Complement a center part with bottleneck bangs — the modern, low-maintenance alternative to last year’s curtain bang obsession. “It’s more Brigitte Bardot,” stylist Amanda Aldana De Jesus shared with PureWow. To style, remember to tuck the ends so they face inward for a ’90s-inspired flippy bob look. Add a mousse or Hailey Bieber’s go-to volume spray for additional bounce and texture.
