Micro Bob: This Hairstyle Is Suitable For All Face Shapes - And Has Trend Potential

The so-far shortest bob variant will rise to the premier class of short hairstyles in the coming months. This is not only confirmed by the catwalks, but also by numerous stars on social media. The big plus: This bob variant fits all face types.

A new trend haircut is in sight: the micro bob. Yes, the classic bob and long bob that made headlines in the past few months have a new competitor when it comes to the biggest hair trends for 2021. The appearance of this very short bob variant could be summarized as follows: the catwalks propose and it-girls follow (or vice versa).

Explanation: The micro bob at cheekbone level, in some cases a little longer (between nose and mouth), was one of the stars cuts at international shows this season, but it has also been particularly popular on social networks in recent weeks. So it's hard to say who inspired whom, probably because it all happened at the same time. Thanks to Paul Walker's daughter Meadow Walker, we already saw the micro bob at Proenza Schouler - it-girl alarm. Model Jia also presented the trend hairstyle at the Roberto Cavalli Show and model Quinn Elin Mora showed us the slightly longer version of the micro bob at Gabriella Hearst and Khaite. At the same time, two women with always inspiring haircuts presented their micro bob: Taylor LaShae and Anine Bing.

The micro bob is worn straight, without steps, and with the neck kept free.

The trend hairstyle works with both straight and wavy and curly hair.

The micro bob is a favorite on both the catwalks and social media.

According to the expert, this variant of the bob hairstyle can be used for all face shapes.

If you analyze the beauty history of all these stylish women, the jump to the micro bob was the same for all of them: They switched from a more classic bob to this ultra-short bob - and it promises trend potential. That doesn't surprise us, because the wearers: inside have already created the half-bob trend. The fact that they have now cut a few more inches to create a micro-bob down to the cheekbones clearly shows that they will continue to develop the trend. So it is already clear: this bob will grab our attention in the coming months.

Due to its particularly short lengths, the micro bob may seem like a complicated cut at first, but stylist María Baras, director of Cheska, confirms that this straight bob, without steps and with a free neck, has many advantages:

It is suitable for (almost) all hair types: The micro bob is ideal for wavy hair, but also for straight hair and even for curly and fine hair.
It can be adjusted to suit the hair type and amount of hair by playing with two variations: a straighter and a slightly forward bob.
Due to its natural volume and roundness, it is ideal for elongated head shapes.
People with round faces can also wear it, but in a straighter version, as the shadow that makes a linear cut at cheek level can also stylize the face.
It is ideal for people with particularly fine facial features.
