The Boy bob
Want something practical and effortless? The ‘Boy bob’ is the cool-girl cut heading into autumn, according to top hairstylist and trend forecaster, Tom Smith. It’s a little more boxy and androgynous, but it’s still long enough (just about) to be tied back. “The Boy bob is a winner for those wanting to make a statement, but they appreciate the practicality of hair swept away from their face,” says Tom. “It offers a toughness that mid length hair has been lacking in recent seasons,” he adds. “Ask your stylist to cut the length in line with your chin, or the corner of your jaw, depending on how bold you want to go,” says Tom. Then, tailor it to your hair type. “For fine to medium hair textures, keep layering to a minimum as you’ll need to keep the bulk of your hair, but for thicker, wavier or curly hair types layering can help to create the squarer, more androgynous silhouette this style requires,” he says.

The Flicky bob
Flicky hair has a real ‘90s energy to it, but along with supermodel blow dries, it’s back and it’s adding a cutesy extra detail to hair that actually requires relatively little effort. You don’t even need to get a flicky bob specially cut in, it pretty much works on all bob lengths and shapes. Just use your roll blush and hairdryer, your tongs, or your straighteners to add a flick to your ends when your styling. Zendaya is the latest celeb fan to jump on board.
