The London Bob
The London Bob: More than Just a Haircut, It's a Style Statement!
Ahhh, London. The city is an amalgamation of many things - the centuries-old architecture, the breathtaking skyline, the beautifully chaotic weather, the charming red buses, and then there is the London Bob. Yes, the humble bob haircut, but with a particularly British, particularly London-esque twist.
Step into the History Lane: Origin of the London Bob
Let's first take a journey back to the swinging 60s. Picture a world of mini-skirts, Beatles music, and the 'It girls' that dominated pop culture. One thing you'd find as a common factor amongst them was their hair – the London Bob! This iconic look became synonymous with British mod style, a symbol of chic sophistication. The London Bob was more than a haircut; it was a rebellious statement against the traditional norms of beauty.
The Signature London Bob: Defining the Look
So, what's special about the London Bob? It’s a precise, sculpted bob cut, perfectly in line with the chin, paired with straightened, sleek hair. It often features a straight fringe or side parting, enhancing the geometric style that characterises this look. Simple, isn’t it? But there’s an art to creating this quintessentially British haircut that requires careful precision and understanding of an individual's hair and face structure.
Elevate Your London Bob with a Splash of Colour
For those wanting to add an extra twist to their London Bob, why not experiment with a vibrant colour? An addition of fluorescent hues like bright pink or deep blue can make your hairstyle pop, turning it into a truly unique style statement.
Imagine a sleek, sculpted bob in a shade of bubblegum pink or ocean blue - you'll not only be embracing the London spirit but doing so with a lively, modern twist!
Step-By-Step Guide: Achieving the London Bob
Let's walk you through how a top-notch salon like Gusto Hairdressing achieves this iconic look.
Understanding Your Hair: Every head of hair is unique. The first step is to analyse your hair's texture, thickness, and natural movement. This helps in tailoring the cut to best suit your hair and face.
Shaping and Sculpting: The stylist then shapes your hair, cutting it straight across the bottom in line with your chin. The stylist may cut your hair when it's dry to see how your hair naturally falls and ensure a precise cut.
Creating the Fringe: The fringe can be straight or side-parted, cut to complement your face shape and enhance your features.
Smoothing Out: A straightening iron is often used to give the hair a sleek, smooth finish, enhancing the geometric look of the London Bob.
Finishing Touch: A final touch-up ensures every hair strand is in place, adding a light-hold hair spray to maintain the sleek look.
