Let me to introduce you to a new, soon-to-be-everywhere haircut: the midi bob. A halfway stop between the Amalie-esque French bob, Keira Knightley’s 90s bob and a long bob, it’s an effortlessly undone upgrade to the shaggy, movement-filled hair gaining popularity.
What Is A Midi Bob?
There are some subtle differences in cutting and styling that make the midi bob a different entity from its bob cousins: the midi bob has a chunky heaviness on the ends that shows off the neck but is long enough to tie up. Because of the slightly longer length, it sits beautifully on both blow-dried and air-dried hair. It’s a tad longer than a 90s bob, which means you can throw your hair up on a hot day and have some beautiful Bardot-esque tendrils of hair frame your face. It also looks fantastic casually thrown to either side with a bit of dry shampoo or mousse.
The length of the midi bob is really important. If you have been on the receiving end of a scissor-happy stylist and found yourself with a too-short bob, you’ll probably have found that it sits quite straight and flat, bending under the chin. As the hair grows, it becomes longer and heavier, allowing a nice natural movement to the hair.

How To Find Your Perfect Length?
Outside of asking your hairstylist, identifying where the hair will fall before your appointment is always a good idea. It’ll mean less surprise when the haircut is finished and the mirror is presented, but also, you’ll know whether to go shorter or longer depending on your preference. The easy way to find your perfect length midi bob is by tilting your head forward. As you tilt your chin down, run your hand down the back of your neck. You should be able to feel a bone that sticks out slightly – think about the joint between the base of your neck and the top of your spine – it should be about where your neck and shoulders meet.
