There are different ways to wear this very popular haircut and every year new trends come into the hairstyle world that we definitely want to try. What's even better - there is a bob hairstyle to suit every face shape, with some even flattering on all faces. The box bob is such a hairstyle. Like a “facelift for your hair,” this cut gives dull ends tons of volume. And luckily he's totally in right now.
Box Bob – what is that?
Have you finally decided on the bob hairstyle you have been dreaming of for a long time? Then you've come to the right place with the Box Bob! The box bob is a variant of the classic bob and is ideal for fine hair as it gives the hair structure and fullness. It no longer looks so flat, but rather sits airy and loose.
As the name suggests, it is a boxy bob cut with blunt ends, clean lines and without layers or gradations of any kind. Generally, it hugs the jawline or sits just above the shoulder (Hello,Shoulder Grazing Bob!) and is popular with women of all ages because it creates the illusion of volume even on fine hair.
Hailey Bieber's brand new blunt bob is proof that you can add volume to fine hair and definition to your cheekbones with a simple hairstyle. Playful, versatile and super-flattering, thanks to Hailey, it's now considered the latest take on the bob hairstyle that's turning heads in salons.

However, the best thing about this bob is its versatility: it suits every face shape and can be cut in a specific way to complement one's face and highlight the best features. For example, if you have a longer face, you can give it more shape with bangs. If you have a round face shape, it would be advisable to leave more length at the front.
Why is this bob variation so popular?
We all know too well how strange short hair can be. You wake up in the morning and look in the mirror to see a wild head of hair looking back. While this can be frustrating when you're short on time, with a hairstyle like the box bob it doesn't take that much time to get everything in the right place. This is exactly the reason why this hairstyle is so popular. It is easy to care for and requires little styling to look perfect.
How to style the trend hairstyle
But don't let this confuse you. Styling is the be-all and end-all with a box bob. To keep your hairstyle looking polished and well-groomed, you should give it the necessary care and attention.
Three steps for the perfect box bob (like Hailey Bieber):
- Straighten hair easily:Apply heat protectant spray and then grab your flat iron. Run it just lightly over the hair strands to seal the cuticle and smooth the hair so it doesn't frizz or fly away. Then use a texture spray to give the finish a little more grip.
- Creating texture:With a box bob, you don't want your hair to sit flat. Give it more grip and volume with a volume spray that you briefly blow-dry into your hair after application.
- Add volume:You can then use a hairdryer brush to create exactly the amount of volume you need! Work from the roots to the ends (see belowthis cool technologyon!) - since the hair is short, it won't take more than a few minutes.
Extra tip for variety – finish with a diffuser:For a not-so-sleek look, finish the styling with a diffuser. It's perfect if you want to try something different.
Great styling ideas for the box bob
Although the box bob is a short to medium length cut, you can play with the styling and create different looks. How about soft waves, for example? Or with a loose, air-dried texture? To be honest, which box bob option is right for you will depend entirely on your hair texture. We still got to work and picked out a few inspirations to try out.
Style an undone wave
Adding a tousled wave to your classic blunt bob will make the look even more playful. This also makes the face appear narrower and slimmer, which is a great bonus point in many cases.
Styling idea for the box bob with bangs
It's not just about the styling, but also about the cut. If you want to stand out from the crowd and sport a classic box bob like the Amelie Bob, then bangs are your best friend. Style it straight forward and feel free to experiment with its texture - you decide whether it's full and flat or thin and loose.
With a side parting you get the ultra-modern Scandi bob
Even a little trick can transform the box bob into another trendy hairstyle that will be on everyone's lips in 2023. Pull a side part and you'll get thatScandi Bob– one of the most beautiful medium length hairstyles in the new year.
Copper Bob
Last but not least, you can make this hairstyle your own if you choose a stylish hair color. Copper Hair is very popular right now and there are so many beautiful copper tones to choose from.
