The 'Box Bob' is the Laidback Cool Girl Style of the Summer
The 'Box Bob' is a structured bob that stops at the chin and has a square shape which frames the face. It's ideal for summer as you can add texturising or salt sprays for a laid back, effortless vibe. Katie Allan, Founder of MAYFIVE Hair shares on what the box bob is, who would suit it and how it can be styled.
The box bob is rising in popularity this spring/summer and is seen on celebrities like Hayley Bieber. It’s a structured short bob that stops at the chin and has a square shape which frames the face, like a box which is where it gets its name from.
Why is it such a good hair cut for women with fine hair?
The box bob is great if you have naturally fine or thin hair, as it’s not about volume it’s more about the shape and movement of the style.
How would you style the box bob haircut? And what should women ask their hairdresser for?
There are so many styling options with the box bob, which is another reason it’s a popular choice. For a relaxed summer look, add texturising or salt sprays to create an effortless tousled effect and to maintain movement and keep it looking choppy. It’s a low maintenance ‘cool girl’ vibe and can be adapted to suit every face shape and hair texture. When speaking to your hairdresser, it’s best to show pictures of the style you’d like and ask them to adapt it to suit your face shape, ensuring it stops at the chin and has an overall square shape
One ingredient, two regulatory timetables and shelves full of near-identical bottles. The new TPO rules call for a forensic look at stock, suppliers and lamps, not a panicked exit from gel. On a salon shelf, the change is almost invisible. The same orderly rows of builder gels, bases, top coats and colour remain in place, their labels as polished as ever. Yet a single line in an ingredient list now determines whether a product may enter the Great Britain market, how long existing stock may be supplied and what a salon should replace next. The three letters causing the stir are TPO. Online, the story has already been compressed into the sort of headline that travels quickly and explains very little: gel has been banned; every bottle must be binned; TPO and HEMA are the same problem but none of those statements are accurate.
