The bob haircut has returned to fashion and is gaining momentum every day. Over the past few years, we have seen actresses, singers, models, bloggers and other influencers from the beauty world saying goodbye to their long hair and opting for a trendy bob. 2019 was no exception; just remember the last Oscar ceremony – the bob haircut became a real boom! Whatever one may say, every hair stylist needs to know everything about it. We decided to talk about women's bob haircuts with the speaker of the ZeColor event, where top hair professionals will gather to share their knowledge and skills. Andrey Silchenko is one of the best hairdressers in Riga, the founder of the international chain of beauty salons Maija, who controls about 40 branches in Latvia, Russia and Ukraine, as well as the ex-owner of the Andrey Silchenko Hair Salon studio. Andrey answered all our questions about the fashionable haircut of 2019 - read on! What does a bob look like in 2019? What haircut variations are currently at the peak of popularity? First of all, bob is a haircut style. By the way, a bowl haircut is also a bob, but very short. This haircut is over 100 years old, and even something similar to a bob resembled the shape of an Egyptian wig. The revival of the bob occurred in the 60s in the collections of geometric haircuts, and the peak of popularity of this haircut style was in the 80-85s. At that time, it was necessary to follow clear haircut rules, and no improvisation. Just choose the length and adjust the contours of the face - like choosing a classic jacket in size and hemming it. In the 90s, the bob, like all shapes, was combined with elements from other classic styles. The basic technology of the bob was gradually modernized: masters used razors, clippers and thinning scissors to better adapt the hair to the shape or add some features to the haircut. Today, various non-classical cuts are used to modernize the shape. Gradually lengthened hair has become increasingly popular lately, but the basic elements of the bob shape, such as volume and a natural outer contour, are used in most haircut designs. What current haircut features should a hairdresser take into account? If the hairdresser is qualified and has the necessary skills, at his level you need to pay attention to the individual characteristics of the client and choose the right volumes of details, the balance between the front and back of the haircut. It is important to ensure harmony between the client's profile and the silhouette of the haircut. A beginner master must learn to fold layers of hair into a single movable shape. To do this, it is important to accurately perform all elements of the technique, such as gripping the strand, pulling and lifting angle, and not change the cutting technique when processing a certain part of the haircut. What mistakes are important to avoid while working? Everyone makes the same mistakes: inconsistency in technology, negligence in technique and the wrong choice of the haircut itself for the client. Who should wear a bob and who should avoid it? If we talk about the classic bob shape, it is the most universal and suits many shapes and types. The question is the correct choice of length and the client’s ability to wear this uniform. If your client does not want to waste time on styling, bob is the best solution. How to decide on hair length? Very simple! The thinner the hair, the shorter it should be. If a girl is large, she should not wear short hair and vice versa. If the client's hair cannot be saved, it needs to be cut. Well, if a girl has luxurious hair and is pretty, leave it long and let everyone envy her!
