Bob Cut - Types

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:

    “... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    “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)
