The asymmetrical bob is back – just ask Halle Berry who is rocking this low-key look

“Asymmetrical bobs are making a huge comeback,” proclaims Jessica Neil from KH Hair. “This all-time favourite is a great style as it can suit all different face shapes and hair textures depending on which length/style of asymmetric haircut you go for,” she said.

What is an asymmetrical bob?

Describing the style in more detail, Jennifer Regan, the founder of 81 Rose Garden, said: “An asymmetrical bob is shorter in length than some other bobs and cut into an uneven shape, so one side is longer than the other. It’s a classic style and puts a twist on a normal bob making it fun and expressive.”

How do you style the asymmetrical bob and is it high maintenance?

There are two options for wearing this style; a jaw-length asymmetrical bob is best worn straight with a deep side parting and a sharp blunt edge line. “Tuck the shorter side behind one ear to scream sophistication,” suggests Jessica. “Wearing a hair accessory on the shorter side can really make a statement, too.”

A longer asymmetric bob should also be worn with a deep side parting. “It looks stunning with loose beach waves created using GHD platinum straighteners. This super on-trend look gives an effortless beach vibe yet still oozes glam,” says Jessica.

“Use a dry shampoo  to spray the roots to give extra lift,” she adds, recommending Sebastian Professional Drynamic+ Dry Shampoo. “Gently brush out the ends so the waves look a bit less ‘beachy’ and more ‘girls’ night out’.”
