A bob cut or bob is a short haircut for women (and oc-
casionally men) in which the hair is typically cut straight around the head at about the level of the jaw-level, often with a fringe (or bangs) at the front. 1 History Polaire in 1910 Historically, women in the west have usually worn their hair long. Although young girls, actresses and a few ad- vanced or fashionable women had worn short hair even before World War I [1][2][3][4] for example in 1910 the French actress Polaire, (right) is described as having a shock of short, dark hair, [5] a cut she adopted in the early 1890s [6] the style was not considered generally respectable [7] until given impetus by the inconvenience of long hair to girls engaged in war work. [8][9] English soci- ety beauty Lady Diana Cooper, who had had bobbed hair as a child, [10] kept the style through her teenage years [11] and continued in 1914 as an adult. [12] Renowned dancer and fashion trendsetter Irene Castle introduced her Cas- tle bob to a receptive American audience in 1915, and by 1920 the style was rapidly becoming fashionable. [13] Pop- ularized by lm stars Colleen Moore and Louise Brooks in the early 1920s, it was still seen as a somewhat shock- ing statement of independence in young women, as older people were used to seeing girls wearing long dresses and heavy Edwardian-style hair. Hairdressers, whose training was mainly in arranging and curling long hair, were slow to realise that short styles for women had arrived to stay, and so barbers in many cities found lines of women out- side their shops, waiting to be shorn of hair that had taken many years to grow. [14][15] Although as early as 1922 the fashion correspondent of The Times was suggesting that bobbed hair was pass, [16] by the mid-1920s the style (in various versions, often worn with a side-parting, curled or waved, and with the hair at the nape of the neck shingled short), was the dominant female hairstyle in the Western world. The style was spreading even beyond the West, as women who rejected traditional roles adopted the bob cut as a sign of modernity. [17] Close-tting cloche hats had also become very popular, and couldn't be worn with long hair. Well- known bob-wearers were actresses Clara Bow and Joan Crawford, as well as Dutch lm star Truus van Aalten. As the 1930s approached, women started to grow their hair longer, and the sharp lines of the bob were abandoned. [18] 1.1 Shingle bob The shingle bob is a short hairstyle for women, intro- duced in 1924. Below a dome-shaped bob cut, the hair at the neck is razor cut very short in a v-shape. It is also commonly referred to as a graduated bob. 1.2 1960s and beyond In the 1960s, Vidal Sassoon made it popular again, us- ing the shape of the early bob and making it more stylish in a simpler cut. Its resurgence coincided with the ar- rival of the extquotedblmop top extquotedbl Beatle cut for men. [19] Those associated with the bob at that time in- cluded the fashion designers Mary Quant and Jean Muir, actresses Nancy Kwan, Carolyn Jones, Barbara Feldon and Amanda Barrie, and singers as diverse as Keely Smith, Cilla Black, Billie Davis, Juliette Grco, Mireille Mathieu and Beverly Bivens of the American group We Five. Many styles and combinations of the bob have evolved since. In the late 1980s, Siouxsie Sioux, lead singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Corinne Drew- ery, singer of Swing Out Sister, had bob cuts for a short 1 2 4 REFERENCES Anna Wintour with a bob haircut and a fringe/bangs time.

She also wears the cut in the video for her duet with James Ingram, Somewhere Out There. Anna Wintour, editor- in-chief of American Vogue since 1988, apparently had hers trimmed every day (Times 2, 10 July 2006). In the early 1990s Cyndi Lauper had a bob haircut with very unusual colors; soon afterwards, the cut became identi- ed with Uma Thurman's character of Mia Wallace in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 lm Pulp Fiction. In the mid to late 1990s, T-Boz of TLC also had a bob haircut with very unusual colors that was asymmetrical with bangs. Also, for the rst two seasons and the rst two episodes of the third season of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, the character of Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher) had a trademark bob haircut. Also, in Barry Sonnen- feld's 1997 lm Men in Black, the character of Dr. Laurel Weaver (Linda Fiorentino) also sported a bob. 1.3 2000s revival In 2006 the bob was adopted by the singer Madonna and, as a move away from boho-chic, by actress Sienna Miller. In November 2005, Canadian ice dancer Kristina Lenko was asked to join ITV1's new series, Dancing on Ice. Needing something shorter than her then waist length cut, she went to her stylist in Toronto and told him Do what- ever you like. The result was an asymmetric Bob cut, which has since been heavily copied. Popularity of the cut in the UKand Ireland can be traced to the inuence of fashion icon and exSpice Girl Victoria Beckham hav- ing had her hair bobbed in the same style, [20] with girls asking hairdressers for a PobMs Beckhams nick- name Posh Spice conated with bob.

Kate Bosworth is said to have popularized the bob in 2008. Shoulder- length bobs became popular after being sported by stars such as Heidi Klum and Jessica Alba. A shaggy version of the bob was popularized by Dianna Agron and Rooney Mara. 2 Types Chinese bob: Cut at the neckline, bobbed up around the edge.
