Types
- Chinese bob: Cut at the neckline, bobbed up around the edge.
- "A-line bob": A typical bob cut, with slightly longer hair in front, cut in an asymmetrical style.
- Made popular throughout the 20th century by various people, including iconic actresses Louise Brooks, Clara Bow, and Theresa Russell (in her role as Sophie in the 1984 film, The Razor's Edge).
- Worn, as well, by contemporary fashionistas such as Victoria Beckham known as the A-line bob as it is layered in at the back, it is originally around the shape of the face but has many variations, including the dramatic "buzzcut bob" where it is shoulder-length at the front and crew-cut at the back.
- Pageboy: is slightly different from the bob, but is also acknowledged as a type of bob. Hair is usually worn straight and could go as long as shoulder-length. The fringe is cut at or above the height of the eyebrows. It has been the signature hairstyle of "Vogue" editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for decades.
- Eton crop, an ultra-short, masculine bob briefly popular in the mid-1920s and based on a schoolboy style; usually worn with slicked-down hair. Dance artist Josephine Baker was its most famous exponent.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
