The world of hair possibilities has opened back up, and we couldn't be more excited to have our mop chopped and curated by the pros. The good thing is that our time in hair purgatory has made us think long and hard about our next cut (our Instagram is full of saved snaps for reference). The tricky part is deciding on one style above the rest.
Two styles in particular are tipped to headline this summer. The first is the bob—no surprises there. It's chic, it's simple, and it's refreshing to be able to see our shoulders again after all that regrowth. The second style is the shag—basically sexy bed-head texture that offers oomph at the crown. Yum.
It's a tough one. But there is another style we could consider…and that's mashing the two together. Typically, bobs don't have too much in the way of layering going on around the crown, but the shaggy bob inspirits hair with the rock-and-roll attitude and texture of a shag, alongside the shorter, fresher collarbone-baring length of a bob. It's kind of a match made in heaven.
Not sure how that would play out? We have nine ways to wear a shaggy bob, below, for your viewing pleasure.
