While French bobs, Italian bobs, and baby bobs have been everywhere this year, as we head into fall, haircuts are going even shorter. Introducing: micro bobs.
It seems everyone is trying these shorter cuts lately. Bobs typically fall between chin and shoulder length (while lobs, or long bobs, are usually collarbone length), but micro bobs bring things even higher, typically chin-length or above, and often with blunt edges. Micro bobs are just one mini trend celebs are loving lately: Micro French manicures and micro bangs are also popular with stars like Jennifer Lopez and Miley Cyrus.
The trendy micro bob hairstyle comes right as autumn is just around the corner, and with a new season often comes the desire for change. If you want to be up to date with your hairstyles during the upcoming cozy season, it’s worth taking a look at the latest hair trend that’s been popping up everywhere, and maybe you’ll even be wearing it soon too.
Read on to find out why so many people are opting for short haircuts right now and learn all about how to wear the micro bob style this fall.
What is a micro bob?
The micro bob is simply a shortened version of the classic bob: It’s edgy, modern, and wonderfully uncomplicated. When you get a micro bob cut, the hair reaches just below the ears and above the chin, giving the cut a striking structure. It is anything but strict or boring; rather, it’s fresh and different.
The look is particularly popular with hair minimalists: Thanks to its sharp design, the haircut looks modern and simplistic without appearing heavy. And it is totally uncomplicated: It adapts to a wide variety of styles, whether you’re wearing something casual, business-like, or black-tie elegant.
