The Supermodel Bob is back. Why the bob that The super tops of the Nineties loved it so much, from Christy Turlington to Cindy Crawfordhas in fact returned more glamorous than ever. Slightly revisited, today it is luxurious and rounded, perfect for lightening, volumizing and modernizing any hair. At any age.
Supermodel Bob, the return of the 90s bob
Nothing aesthetically represented the atmosphere of the era like this haircut. Not a simple helmet: what today has been renamed as Supermodel Bob marked the nineties, chosen by almost all the top models of the time. And today he is back bolder than ever.
Slightly revisited, it has not lost its glamour, on the contrary. At the time, the most iconic was that of Christy Turlington: elegant, chic and sculptural, it was a soft cut characterized by an important volume created thanks to skilful scaling.
The key feature of that look? When cutting, no lines were drawn. This allows – even today – the hair to be freer and more voluminous than the classic bob.
Who sports it today
How has Supermodel Bob evolved today? In multiple variations, all however united by the length at the ears. A look chosen by an ever-increasing number of celebs such as Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
The current version has lost none of its versatility, quite the opposite: and it is precisely this ability to reinvent itself, together with its innate elegance, that makes it such a contemporary cut.
The identikit of Supermodel Bob
First of all, the length. The Supermodel Bob has a varied length, from the jaw to touching the shoulders. The peculiarity, however, is all in the volume, obtained thanks to micro scaling that gives body to the lengths.
From the classic version it has also maintained the predetermined absence of line: a detail that allows the hair to be worn on the right or left side, making the cut easily manageable and above all adaptable to all face types.
Is it a helmet suitable for everyone? Generally yes: yesstyling is easy, all you need is a good volumizing mousse. Furthermore, the scaling and layering are calibrated to the millimeter to keep it naturally voluminous.
Nineties style styling
The secret is right here, in the styling. The mousse must be applied to damp hair. We then move on to drying, which can only be done with a hairdryer or with the help of the classic round brush: in the first case, the result is very natural and unstructured, dynamic and light. In the second case, however, the cut will remain more full-bodied and structured.
An extra touch? Dry your hair upside down, concentrating the flow of hot air from the hairdryer on the roots so as to give volume to the top.
