As a stark contrast to the popular Undone Bob, the latest haircut trend making headlines is the “Expensive Bob.” From brunette to blonde and now bobs, the internet has been loving everything “expensive” lately. However, this high-end look doesn’t require a new hair budget — simply a few tweaks to your cut and styling routine.
What is the Expensive Bob?
The Expensive Bob is a haircut trend that emphasizes precision, attention to detail, and styling with a luxe feel. The cut is essentially a blunt bob haircut that is perfectly angled to complement the client’s face shape. It features clean lines, sharp angles, and layers that are carefully placed to create movement and volume without sacrificing the overall sleek look. It can also be paired with subtle highlights, natural-looking waves, and it can be customized to flatter a wide range of face shapes and hair textures.
Many celebrities and influencers have been spotted wearing the Expensive Bob and absolutely love the elegant and timeless look. The result is a chic and sophisticated look that’s perfect for anyone who wants to make a statement with their hair. Because it is a highly structured and precise cut, it’s crucial to find a stylist who has experience cutting a look like this.
While many are opting for a middle part, we also love the look with a deep side part or a matching fringe. Pair this trend with the expensive brunette or expensive blonde hair color trend or the liquid hair trend for a truly stunning finish.
How to style the Expensive Bob:
The Expensive Bob can be styled in a variety of ways, depending on your hair type and desired finish.
- Sleek and Straight – We love a sophisticated and polished look. To achieve this blow-dry your hair straight and smooth with a round brush, then run a flat iron through the ends to ensure a sleek and shiny finish.
- Beachy Waves – Add some texture and volume by applying a texturizing spray or mousse to damp hair, then blow-dry with a diffuser attachment. Use a curling wand or flat iron to create loose waves, rake through with your fingers and then finish with a light hold hairspray.
- Half-Up – To add some interest and dimension to your Expensive Bob, try pulling the top half of your hair back into a half-up style. You can leave it sleek and polished, or add some volume and texture with a texturizing spray.
Regardless of how you style your Expensive Bob, use targeted styling products and tools to help you achieve the look. Here are a few of our favorites.
