Feathered ends are all well and good, but if you really want your bob to make an impact, go for blunt cut bob hair.

Wavy bobs are the LBD of the hair world; they suit everyone and always look good. The key to nailing the look is to work in loose, deconstructed waves, as opposed to perfect spirals, as this will give you that off-duty blogger vibe.

3. French bob
