Would You Ever: Get a Bob?

Hi there! Ever since the weather started warming up a couple months ago, I noticed that a lot of the girls at my school just started chopping off their hair, a trend that was mirrored on my blog and Instagram feed. It seemed as if everyone was getting rid of their long, luscious locks and going for a fresher and short 'do. Heck, I two of my friends even went for the chop.

While I think hair trends are unconventional and inconvenient to follow, I did consider and am admittedly still considering chopping off some hair, too. There's just something about that tousled bob of messy waves that's so intriguing and that makes me really want to have that hair, preferably on a day or two lease as opposed to long-term.

Firstly, there's Emma Watson. After being finishing up with Harry Potter, it took her no time to go ahead and chop of the long curly locks she was known for on the silver screen. While I wasn't a huge fan of her pixie cut to be completely honest, I really do love the longer bob that it's grown into. It gives her a more youthful and playful vibe that her longer tresses stood in the way of.

I feel like whenever a celebrity cuts their hair, there's an initial shock that passes through the whole online world, especially models because actors constantly switch up their looks for roles whereas models are a bit more known for their signature looks despite the costumes they put on for gigs.

When she first cut it, I remember thinking that I really, really liked it, and I still do to this day. Karlie cut it back in February 2013 for Vogue and there's no denying that her now-signature wavy bob suits her well and let's her radiance shine through without a heavy curtain of hair.

For some people, short hair suits them so well that you almost can't even imagine the days when they had hair nearly down to their waist, like Jenn from clothesencounters on YouTube. If you watch her or even if you just see these pictures, you know that she's an edgy girl and there was something almost a bit too innocent with her super long locks and fringe. She must've thought so too because one day, she decided that she was sick of having the same hair for years and chopped it off.

Honestly, if I was to go short one day, Jenn and her long bouncy bob, which is a beautiful, beautiful myriad of browns, would definitely be one of my main influencers.

Finally, there's Taylor Swift. She's the most recent member of the short hair club and again, like with Emma, I wasn't that big of a fan of her short hair when she first chopped it off. It just looked a bit off to me, but lately as the photos of her stellar New York street style surfaced, I've come to really love her new length. She's been known as that sweet and innocent country girl for a while and she's certainly trying to switch up her look and experiment, which is something that I'm really happy and proud to see happen, especially because she does it so tastefully.
