The
Bob cut hairstyle is more popular with women than it is with men. It
is a short hair that is generally at the jaw level and around the
head. In fact some of the Bob wigs even have bangs (fringe) at the
front.
A brief history
- It might come as a surprise for you to lean that the Bob hairstyle is more than simply another hairstyle. It was a statement for young independent women. In fact there was a time when women usually only wore their hair long and it was not considered respectable to have short hair. This dates back to the time before World War I when young girls at time did have short hair but it was not considered respectable for the women to have such short hair.
- However that was a gradual change that occurred notably in the English Society and women began to wear their hair short and it started becoming acceptable to do so as well. In face it was in 1915 that Irene Castle introduced the “Castle Bob” hair style which became quite popular.
- The Bob hair cut wig thus then became a statement for the Independent young women as more number of women began adopting this (short Hair cut, Bob style) style. This was a time when it was quite common to see many young women choosing to snip of their long hair (which would have taken years to grow long) and opt for the Bob cut.
- A new variation of the Bob cut, the Shingle Bob was introduced in 1924 and was also referred to as the Graduated Bob. This was a some shaped bob cut with the hair at the neck cut very short in a ‘V’ shape.
