The bob hairstyle has never spent too much time out of the spotlight, due to its chic cut and versatile style. Seriously, it looks good on everyone. And because we know the bob (or lob) isn’t going to disappear anytime soon, we’re looking to our favorite Insta stars for inspo on the hot-right-now take on the trend: the shaggy bob. This heavily layered ‘do is is what ’70s dreams are made of, and it has bedhead vibes written all over it. Take it from these 11 Instababes who have been strutting this ultra-chic, messy ‘do: The bob is here to stay.
1. ’70s Blowout: Go back in time with this throwback bob style. Modernize the look by parting your bangs down the middle, and add some loose waves for good measure. Festival hair? We think yes.
2. Static Waves: Achieve ultimate beach-babe status with killer blonde shaggy waves. Backcomb the ends for texture and volume, and spritz your roots with a bit of hairspray to keep it matte and in place. Add a bandana to keep the nape of your neck sweat-free, and you’re all set for soft sands and piña coladas.
3. Bangin’ Bob: Add intrigue to your shaggy bob by contrasting your bangs with the rest of your locks. This summer-ready look will take you from a day hike to cocktails on the patio, no touchups necessary.
