Hailey Bieber is proof of many things. First, that cutting in a bob is the best feeling. Your hair feels lighter, your neck can breathe and all those split ends get dumped in the bin. It’s a fresh start for your hair, your look and your styling routine.
But she is also proof that you don’t have to compromise on style when you’re over living the bob life and you decide to grow it out.
Hailey, who cut her hair into a chic bob in January and then went even shorter a few months later with a chin-length chop, has shown the sheer versatility of a shorter hairstyle with slicked-back styles and itty-bitty buns alike. Now she’s proving that it is possible to avoid the awkward grow-out stage. In a new series of pics, Hailey’s bob continues to thrive at all angles.
While we don’t know for sure if Hailey Bieber is growing out her bob and returning to longer lengths, her hair has gotten longer, and a few strategically-placed layers are doing a lot of heavy lifting in ensuring the bob doesn’t look puffy or triangle-shaped as it grows.
The model and Rhode founder wears her hair in tousled waves and dramatically parted to one side to give the cut lots of movement and motion.

It’s basically a masterclass in how to successfully grow out a bob without deeply regretting the moment your stylist’s scissors first sliced through your hair. (See also: Zendaya.)
Bob aside, Hailey is rocking so many of her signature looks in these pics: super dewy glazed skin, a glossy lip, pearly glazed nails and a white T-shirt and vintage-inspired jeans.
She’s been all about the strawberry girl look this summer, but the reddish tones in her makeup — eyes, cheeks and lips — are more autumn rust than berry red.
A new season will soon be upon us, and we’ll be keeping a very close eye on Hailey, her bob and her beauty choices as autumn blows in.
