A bob is not always the answer as it can take more time to style and maintain the cut that longer hair but when it comes to versatility you have nothing to worry about. Dannii Minogue has shown the adaptability of a good short haircut to the general public. Natural or finger waves, loose hair ups and braids as well as the sleek blow dry are all achievable with a bob.

The key look for bobs this season however has movement throughout the style. They are slightly longer than chin length and styled with natural movement. Think Alexa Chung; this is a more versatile length and the texture.

Alexa’s style will suit most faceshapes, but a general rule is that if your have a round or square faceshape you should opt for a longer length bob, while those with rectangle or elfin faceshapes can carry off the traditional Mary Quant bob.
