If you've been patiently waiting for the Roaring Twenties to be back in style, the fact that the bob is back in trend is a good sign. Polish hairdresser Antoni Cierplikowski - who worked with Coco Chanel, Josephine Baker, and Edith Piaf - first developed the style in 1909 in his Parisian salon Antoine de Paris and was supposedly inspired by portraits of Joan of Arc.
