What is the Bell-Bottom Bob?
It’s the summer of the bob and the season of the short cut, and we’re here for it. If you’re looking to drop some weight straight from your strands, there are plenty of trending looks to choose from. From the ultra-sleek hydro bob to the celebrity-approved old money bob, there are infinite ways to dress short hair up or down.
With over 8 billion hits on TikTok, the bob is clearly trending. But what is the bell-bottom bob? If you’re picturing those iconic bell-bottom jeans, you’re definitely headed in the right direction. “It’s a short bob styled with the ends pointing out, resembling bell bottoms,” explains celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano. “If your stylist is unfamiliar with the trendy name, you should request a blowout with the ends flipped out.” Though the length and severity of those flipped-out ends if pretty much up to you, it is the calling card of this style.
“The bell-bottom bob adds a playful twist to the traditional bob with its flared ends, giving it a retro vibe inspired by past fashion trends,” says celebrity hairstylist and TRUSS ambassador, Asil Simsek. “It’s a fun choice that adds volume and movement to the hair.”
If you’re looking for inspo to bring to your stylist, celebrity hairstylist and Moroccanoil global ambassador, Dimitris Giannetos, recently styled the look on Megan Fox. “[It] framed her face so perfectly and made her look even more stunning!”
The Secret to the Style
The secret to the bell-bottom bob comes down to the combination of cut and style. Obviously, you need a bob or lob. But that’s not all you can ask for to help create this style.
“You can ask your stylist for a shorter bob with bouncy ends that curve inwards towards the chin,” Giannetos explains.
Once you have the right cut, you can get to styling.
“To style this look, use the TRUSS Professional Deluxe Prime to prep the hair, then use a round brush while blow-drying,” Simsek says. “Enhance the flared ends with the TRUSS Professional Curly Light.”
