And the most popular hairstyle on the internet right now is…(drum roll please). The bob haircut!
Short bobs, medium-length bobs, shoulder-length bobs, long bobs. Angled bobs, asymmetrical bobs, blunt-cut bobs. All styles are in, as long as they end with a bob!
Best bob haircuts & hairstyles: watch what healthy hair looks like
I’ve been rocking with a bob haircut for at least the last 20 years (yikes— dating myself!). From the early 2000’s when ‘The Rachel” long bob (aka a lob) was all the rage, to an asymmetrical stacked bob haircut.
Then we passed the first decade of the millennium. Yes, like my forever First Lady, Michelle Obama, I was seen with a face-framing bob.
I always wore my bob back then with a middle part. A little pop culture history for ya— Bravo’s Real Housewives ushered in the face-framing layers hairstyle by way of the middle part.
A bob haircut goes beyond Real Housewives
And remember those hideous tank tops The Real Housewives of Orange County wore (the First Ladies of the franchise)? The generous cleavage showing tank tops with insanely huge bedazzled jewelry?
The jewelry, y’all.
Why was it necessary for the ginormous sundial shaped jewelry to come sewn to those OC tank top specials right smack in the middle of the chest?
Those be-jeweled shirts should’ve been ousted like hairstyles with side parts back then, and side-chicks— no-one should’ve claimed ’em!
All the way fast forward to 2020 and into the age of COVID. I’m STILL rocking a bob haircut. Admittedly a little out of shape these days (corona hair don’t care). But yet, a bob haircut is still me.
My hair’s been growing like weeds and is thick and healthy! The health of my hair is in part to having a fantastic hairstylist, great hair care at home and this liquid mineral supplement HERE.

And to think, the bob haircut has remained a consistent winning look, outlasting all Housewives fashion faux pas and everlasting beyond any global pandemic.
Well, you know what they say— haircuts over Housewives. (No one says that. Like no one wears sparkly, sundial tank tops in Orange County, or anywhere else anymore!)
