Although many hair trends come and go, one look will always stay timeless: the bob haircut. Short hairstyles can be intimidating at first, but it’s a classic for a reason. A chin-length cut instantly draws attention and puts all the focus on your face; plus, it’s just way less hair to deal with.
But of course, no matter how convenient—and cute—short haircuts may be, it’s important to do your research when looking into making a major hair change. Take cues from our current hair inspo Janine Gutierrez to know about the chop and ways to style them before you make your salon appointment.
Retro Vibes
Janine’s no stranger to hair transformations, but this hair look she wore to the I Want To Share charity gala might be one of our all-time favorites. It has a retro, Old Hollywood feel, but still looks touchable, soft, and modern.

Wavy Bob
Janine proves that nothing is boring about bob hairstyles: as long as it’s glossy, dimensional, and cut into the coolest wavy bob.

Flippy Style
Don’t listen to anyone who cautions against flared-out ends with a shorter hairstyle. As Janine demonstrated, a flipped-out bob toes the line between mod and modern.
