The bob cut has been one of the most popular hairstyles over the last 75 years. It is adaptable to any face shape. For example, the layered bob works well with slightly wavy hair and can suit different face shapes by adjusting the lengths. Typically, it is worn longer on round faces and slightly below the jawline on thinner, oval faces.
