Bobs are awesome! From the Italian bob to the stacked bob, this year, we’ve seen all kinds of bob hairstyles come back. It’s no wonder—this classic haircut never goes out of style. With so many types to choose from, there’s a bob haircut for everyone. Right now, the ’90s bob is super popular.
What Is The 90s Bob?
The ’90s bob is a haircut that reminds us of the chin-length, swishy bobs that Christy Turlington and Winona Ryder had in the ’90s. This bob can be any length between a pixie cut and a bob. It usually has a bend or a wave and sometimes a cool fringe. It looks very chic and can make your hair look thicker, make your neck look longer, and show off your collarbones nicely.
This bob is great if you’re tired of your medium-length hair and want something more exciting. If your hair is naturally wavy, this cut will make the waves look even better. Because it’s short, it will help create waves for people with wavy hair that’s too heavy or long. If you want a bob with lots of volume and movement, the ’90s bob is perfect.

How To Ask For A 90s Bob?
When you go to the hair salon, ask for a choppy, effortless texture or a French bob. If your hair is thick, the stylist might use a razor to give it more texture. If your hair is fine, scissors work best. During your consultation, tell your stylist how short you want your hair and ask for a square shape instead of a rounded one, like the bubble bob.

How To Style The 90s Bob?
Start with clean, damp hair. To style it, use sectioning clips in your hair to create natural bends while you blow-dry it from a distance to make it wavy.
- Fine hair can sometimes look flat, so use a lightweight mousse or volumizing spray to add body. Blow-dry your hair with a round brush to create volume and finish with a texturizing spray for added fullness.
- Thick hair can be heavy, so a razor cut can help add texture and remove bulk. Use a smoothing serum to control frizz and keep your hair looking sleek. While blow-drying, use a paddle brush to smooth the hair, and finish with a shine spray to enhance the natural gloss of thick hair.
- With wavy hair embrace their natural look using a sea salt spray or texturizing spray to enhance the movement. Apply the product to damp hair and scrunch it as it dries to create effortless, beachy waves. For extra definition, use a curling wand on random sections of hair.
- With curly hair use a curl cream and use a diffuser to dry them. Scrunch your curls gently while drying to enhance their shape. A leave-in conditioner can help keep your curls hydrated and reduce frizz.
For extra volume and shape, leave your hair in a towel a little longer after washing to help create bends. These bends gives your ’90s bob a stylish, effortless look.

Tips For Different Face Shapes
Choosing the right bob for your face shape can make a big difference in how the haircut looks on you. Here’re simple tips to help you find the best style:
- If you have a round or heart-shaped face, longer bobs work best. They help elongate your face and balance out the roundness. A bob that falls just below the chin or even shoulder-length can look great.
- Oval faces can pull off almost any bob style. Whether you want a chin-length bob, a longer one, or something in between, it’s all up to your personal preference.
- For square faces, softer, layered bobs are ideal. They help soften the angles of your jawline and add a bit of roundness to your face. Gentle waves or curls can also enhance your look.
