Fact: The internet virtually goes dark whenever Zendaya or Hailey Bieber get a new bubble bob hairstyle. The photographs are all over the place, flooding feeds all over the world, as soon as either starlet receives a significant haircut. And if both parties receive the same cut? Pandemonium reigns. The Bubble Bob is now here.
What precisely is the Bubble Bob then? Imagine a bob that, because of the way the ends fall, appears to be a bubble. According to famous hairstylist Chad Wood, “the bubble was first known for its straight ends.” “Now, with beveled ends that are simple to achieve with a round brush, this hairstyle has more volume and distinct lines.” Here is all the information you need to know about the springtime haircut you’ll see everywhere.
The Trend
Wood and Hailey Bieber both agree that they were responsible for starting the bubble bob trend. “The Bubble Bob started trending for two reasons; first, when Zendaya arrived at the Louis Vuitton Fashion Show with a ’90s, voluminous bob, and second, when Hailey Bieber debuted her recent chop,” Wood claims. The Verb idea of utilizing products that enhance your natural hair and texture was demonstrated by Zendaya’s haircut, which did not require a lot of heated styling equipment. Hailey had a more understated, stylish bubble bob that complemented her understated, minimalist style.
This cut is ideal during hot summers and when outdoors.
When it comes to hair trends, everything that is new is already outdated. Using Belinda Carlisle from the Mad About You video as an example, celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh, the developer of Harry Josh Pro Tools, sees this as a remake of the ’80s bob. He observed that this is what we haven’t observed for so long. “The styling is more important than the haircut,” To get the bubble appearance on the ends, a large round brush is specifically needed.
Who the Bubble Bob Works Best on
On both thin and thick hair, the bubble bob looks fantastic. You can add curls, leave your bubble bob smooth, or angle or flip the ends, advises Wood. “To jazz it up and make it more enjoyable, you can also leave longer angled pieces at the front. Altogether, this cut look suits various shapes of faces, including square, round, heart-shaped, and inverted triangle-shaped faces. Wood does issue a warning, though, that if you have a longer face, the bubble bob may further lengthen your face and neck.
How to Style a Bubble Bob
Josh explains that the best thing about this specific haircut is how simple you can switch between styles—it really just depends on how you finish and how you want to dry it. It really just takes a flick of a brush and a few products to go from one style to the next, whether you want to work it straight and stylish or full and round with some movement on the ends.
According to Josh, embracing texture keeps it more informal while wearing a bubble bob straight gives it a polished look. He advises the Kerasilk Finishing Cream ($32) for the former to smooth flyaway and ends, add shine, and combat frizz.
Wood advises beginning by towel-drying damp hair if you decide to air-dry your hair. Apply the Verb Ghost Air Dry Whip ($20) from the mid-shaft to the ends of your hair after allowing it to absorb moisture, advises Wood. “To give the pieces a smooth curve, tuck the front ends of your hair behind both ears for a few hours. Take the tucked hair pieces out later in the day for a lovely wave and peak that resembles being blown out with a heated instrument.
Wood advises using a one-inch round brush and beginning at the base of your neck and beveling the ends if you prefer styling with hot tools. Smooth out the ends after working your way up to the top. If using a hair dryer makes you uncomfortable, he advises rough drying your hair and finishing it with a flat iron to give it a more blow-out appearance.
