Return of the pob hairstyle (yes, really!)

The posh bob has returned! So, it's time to spice up your life with our glam gallery of pob hairstyles! 

You heard it here first: the pob is back. For those of you wondering what on earth the pob is, let us explain.

The pob became popular during the heyday of the Spice Girls. Obviously, the rise of this hairstyle was due to Victoria Beckham’s iconic bob, hence the name: pob (AKA the Posh bob).

And although the Spice Girls are no longer and Victoria Beckham isn’t known as Posh Spice, the hairstyle has made a surprise comeback on our Instagram feeds. So, below we’ve gathered our favourite 7 pobs to spice up your life (pun totally intended). Enjoy!

7 pobs that would make Posh Spice jel!
