The blunt bob is not exactly a new hairstyle. The short haircut experienced a surge in popularity in the 1920's as a symbol of rebellion for women, and the look has since evolved with asymmetric and deep-parted iterations. We will always associate blunt bobs with flappers, our country's 35th First Lady, and even Kim Kardashian as a teenager. The haircut has transcended time not only because it looks good (we thoroughly appreciate its face framing abilities), it's also practical during the warmer months and for working out (no one likes a long ponytail smacking them in the face during a HIIT workout).
In 2019, the blunt bob is experiencing yet another boom in popularity, specifically among our favorite music artists, television personalities, and movie stars as we head into the sunnier seasons. These celebs have been calling up their go-to hairstylists so that they, too, can have a short, blunt haircut with healthy looking ends. While they each have different hair colors and textures — like Jaime King's fine, straight blonde strands, Chrissy Teigen's medium-coarse, honey-hued waves, and Ayesha Curry's dark, sleek style — a blunt bob just works, looking stylish and modern on all of them. If you're not a fan of the straight-across chop, you can opt for one with an angle like Irina Shayk's. You've got options.
Even if you didn't let the "new year, new you" season or endless searching for haircut inspo on Pinterest convince you to chop your hair off, keep scrolling. We rounded up the best blunt bob haircuts on our favorite stars, and they're seriously inspiring. See them all, ahead.
