It was a haircut that shocked society when it was created in France in 1909 by Polish-born hairdresser Antoine de Paris. Over a century later, the bob is still one of the most popular hairstyles.
From year to year it is constantly revived with new variations. Lately we've been hearing more about the angled, graduated bob. Today we'll tell you what makes graduated bob hairstyles (short at the back, long at the front) so special and show some of the most interesting variations of the haircut.
What does the graduated bob look like?
With the classic bob, the hair is cut chin-length and without layers. Unlike the classic version, the graduated bob has a more pronounced shape that highlights facial features and creates natural volume. The idea behind the trendy, asymmetrical hairstyle is based on the “graduation” cutting method. This hair cutting technique creates an even transition from short neck hair to a longer front section. The gradation can range from soft to medium to strong.
