The bob haircut is a classic for a reason: it’s adaptable, fashionable, and universally flattering. But, in the broad world of bobs, one reigns supreme: the blunt bob. This sleek, one-length beauty is anything but dull, making a dramatic statement with a hint of refinement. So, what is a blunt bob, and who wears it best? Continue reading to learn how The Haven Atelier, under the expert touch of hair designer Jeannette Haven, can help you achieve this iconic look with the appropriate combination of Eleven Australia products!
The Blunt Bob: What is it?
Imagine a bob hairstyle with a twist. Instead of cascading layers, the blunt bob has hair cut straight across at a single length, usually ending midway between the chin and shoulders. This results in a strong, clear line that highlights the texture and thickness of your hair. While blunt bobs are typically done straight, they can also be worn with waves or curls for a more fun look.
The Blunt Bob: Face Shape Matchmaker
What is the good news? The blunt bob can be surprisingly adaptable to many facial shapes. Here’s a breakdown, along with styling recommendations using Eleven Australia products:
- Oval: This face shape is regarded as the “ideal” canvas, and the blunt bob will highlight its harmonious proportions. Eleven Smooth & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner can help you achieve a sleek, straight look with a glossy, polished finish.
- Square faces might benefit from the blunt bob’s crisp lines, which soften a strong jawline and balance out the width. Choose a longer bob or a side part, then add subtle texture with Eleven Frizz Control Shaping Cream 150ml for a touch of movement without compromising crisp lines. Jeannette Haven of The Haven Atelier can advise on the best length and style strategy for your specific features.
- Heart: The blunt bob’s fullness at the jawline helps balance a larger forehead, resulting in a more balanced appearance. Use Eleven Keep My Blonde Shampoo 50ml to retain blonde brilliance while cleaning softly. Jeannette Haven, with her significant knowledge, will help you choose the most appealing version and propose the best Eleven Australia products to keep it healthy and stylish.
- Round: While a blunt bob can be effective, avoid a cut that hits right at the cheekbones. Choose a longer bob or an angled cut for a more attractive look. Eleven Gentle Clean Balancing Shampoo 300ml, followed by Eleven Deep Clean Shampoo 300ml, will give volume and definition without weighing down your hair.
Beyond the Basics: Blunt Bob Variations with Eleven Australia
The versatility of the blunt bob is what makes it so appealing. Do you want to add your own personal touch? Explore these versions, all expertly accomplished at The Haven Atelier using the magic of Eleven Australia:
- Angled Bob: This variation is shorter in the back and progressively expands towards the front, resulting in a dynamic silhouette. To emphasize the angled form, apply Eleven Texturize Spray and create effortless waves for a lived-in look.
- Textured Bob: For a more relaxed look, add texture with beach waves, loose curls, or a slight shag cut. Jeannette Haven is an expert at generating natural-looking texture using Eleven Sea Salt Spray and Dry Texture Spray, which enhance the blunt bob’s style while maintaining its structure.
- A blunt bob with fringe is a stylish combination. Choose a full fringe for a more dramatic look or a side-swept fringe for extra gentleness. The Haven Atelier can assist you in selecting the ideal fringe to fit your face shape and personal style. Style with Eleven Smooth & Shine Conditioner for a frizz-free, glossy finish.
