This stylish hairstyle has become popular largely thanks to world stars, who at some point in their lives preferred this haircut option or remain faithful to it to this day.

Features of technology
Bob is not just a classic of hairdressing, but also a symbol of sexuality, femininity and impeccable taste. If you carefully study the history of the emergence of an elongated bob, it can be noted that the ideas of feminism, which began to gain strength at the beginning of the last century, played a significant role in the popularization of this haircut. New women's fashion demanded a fresh perspective based on the new role of women in society. Beautiful ladies began to declare their rights publicly, they wanted to be on a par with men in everything. And, of course, this could not but leave a significant imprint on the appearance.
However, the years passed, the fashion changed.And already in the second half of the XX century, the fair sex again wished to be feminine and to be able to emphasize their sexuality in any way. In this regard, a short elongated bob (long) would come in handy. He is able to show and emphasize the beauty of a beautiful woman's neck, can visually lengthen the face, and also mask some defects in a woman's appearance.
However, why has this haircut not lost its relevance for several decades? The answer is simple to the point of genius. First of all, the bob is relatively unpretentious in care, while it will help a woman to look spectacular in any situation. Second, this haircut has versatility. What does it mean?
Bob is suitable for ladies of any age category, physique, hair type and face shape. Only when choosing the type of elongated bob with bangs should you observe some of the nuances.
Perhaps it seems to someone that the bob is no different from the famous bob. However, there are significant differences between these two hairstyles.
- The classic square is done with bangs. A bob, on the other hand, allows for various variations.
- When creating a bob, the back of the head is cut off, while with a bob, clear geometric lines remain in all parts of the hairstyle. This bob technique helps to create volume, which is very suitable for fine hair.
- When laying the bean, volume is created from the roots, which is not typical for a classic square - here the extra volume can violate the whole concept of the image.
- The bob was originally conceived as a hairstyle for women, while the bob was originally a kind of boyish haircut.
At first, it was customary to perform a classic bob without a bang - a haircut "with a hat" exactly copied the shape of the skull.
This hairstyle was not suitable for everyone. The woman had to have a beautiful head shape and correct facial features. This variation was perfect for petite ladies with an oval face.
However, time passed and more and more often hairdressers began to add bangs to this hairstyle, which, in turn, helped to mask some defects in appearance. For example, elongated, straight frontal locks help "smooth" a wide and sloping forehead, while emphasizing the lower part of the face. Oblique bangs help to make the face look more elongated and slightly "soften" rough features... The ripped frontal strands make the look more expressive and accentuate the cheekbones.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any haircut, a bob has pros and cons. It fits perfectly with a certain type of appearance much more than many other hairstyles. In addition, the bob has some nuances of embodying the mood of a woman.
Among the positive qualities of this haircut are the following.

How to choose?
When choosing an elongated bob, it is very important to choose a hairstyle that matches the shape of the woman's face and hair structure.
By type and length of hair
If you gravitate towards a short bob haircut, then you have every chance to look fresh and creative. In addition, this haircut will greatly rejuvenate you and refresh your overall look. This haircut for medium hair is now very popular, because it allows you not only to experiment with styling, but also offers a great variety of possibilities for dyeing your hair, and also allows you to create fashionable and simple hairstyles for both daily wear and for a special occasion.
When girls opt for an option for long hair, then a similar solution provides for lengthening in the frontal zone and significantly short strands in the back of the head. This haircut will allow you not only to experiment with styling, but also to try out dyeing techniques that are fashionable this season, such as shatush, ombre, sombre, etc. Here you can make the curls perfectly straight or, conversely, curl them, giving the image a playfulness.
By face type
From a hairdressing point of view, oval-faced girls are a little more fortunate than others, as they have more choices regarding the shape and length of their haircuts. However, the oval itself is also not the same for different representatives of the fair sex, for example, it may be a little closer to a circle or square. This feature plays a decisive role in choosing the shape of the bangs.
In folk art, a persistent stereotype has developed that women with a round face are the most Russian type, attractive to real men. However, such ladies still need to really assess their shortcomings and be able to correctly hide them, emphasizing the undoubted advantages.
In this case, an elongated bob is ideal. Elongated frontal strands will help "smooth" plump cheeks or wide cheekbones.
Here, the volume on the back of the head will look very harmonious, while if the splendor in this zone is excessive, the image will be spoiled, since the girl's head will seem too large.
A characteristic feature of a square face is expressive cheekbones and a relatively massive lower part. Here, the hairstyle should give the rough features softness and cuteness. In this case, the best option would be an elongated bob with side bangs.
How to stack?
One of the main advantages of a bob haircut is that styling correctly can change your look at least every day. Any woman who is not indifferent to her appearance, for sure, at least once in her life wants to try one of the "stellar" styling, or she herself knows how to create something on her head that suits her.
You can experiment endlessly with an elongated bob:
Classic version
It is usually preferred by active women who do not have the opportunity to spend a lot of time on styling. Clean strands are dried and combed thoroughly. The bangs are made in a standard way, parting at your discretion.Curls most often remain behind the ears, revealing the face.
Smooth styling
You can straighten your curls completely with an iron. This will create a strict and elegant look. This technique is suitable both for a special occasion and for daily wear. There is an optimal way to straighten hair without losing its volume. To do this, the hair must be dried "upside down", having previously treated them with foam or mousse.
"Wet" effect
Some people find this styling method to help prolong the feeling of a vacation. To do this, wash your hair with a special agent (thickening shampoo) and apply a conditioner. After that, mousse is applied to wet curls to create volume. And the final detail - we drip oil onto our hands and apply it to the strands.
"Marilyn Monroe"
This is a very dramatic look of an elongated bob. Here the strands are formed from the root. To give expressive volume, the strands are laid out in the desired order. To fix the styling, the hairstyle should be sealed with varnish.
Retro
Last season, this style was very popular with celebrities who occasionally appear on the red carpet. This type of styling can give even the simplest girl the charm and splendor of a real Hollywood star.
It is very easy to create such an image - vintage waves are created using tongs. Without combing them, the hairstyle should be sealed with varnish.
Natural splendor
Versatile styling suitable for any occasion. The curls are pre-treated with mousse, after which they are divided into small strands of equal size and wound on a curling iron with a small diameter or on curlers. Next, manually lay the curls in the desired position.
Artistic mess
This is one of the simplest and most relevant styling of an elongated bob. When drying the strands with hot air, you need to change the direction - this is necessary so that the curls are a little tousled. After that, we wrap the dry strands with gel, forming the desired shape and the required degree of volume.
You can also perform a similar styling in another way: we treat wet strands with mousse or gel and dry with hot air using a diffuser.
Beautiful examples
The trendy haircut, which was so relevant last season, has undergone certain modifications and again hit the ranks of the leaders in popularity. This wide popularity and demand also appeared thanks to such star names as Riana, Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston. Among domestic stars, Lera Kudryavtseva, Alika Smekhova and many other equally famous people who prefer a creative and feminine hairstyle look always stylish, largely thanks to this haircut.
Each of these stunning women reveals their individuality with a well-fitting long bob.

Even without creating some grandiose styling, the elongated bob looks very impressive. The clear advantage of this hairstyle is its versatility - it goes well with both straight and wavy hair.
Also, an elongated bob with bangs makes it possible to style curls quickly and easily, without having professional skills in hairdressing. Therefore, this haircut is ideal for very busy women who do not have the opportunity to aim a marafet in front of a mirror for hours, but at the same time need to create the perfect look every day.
