The shorter hairstyle required less time commitment, making it more practical for the working woman. Today the bob comes in a variety of styles, but the original bob, called a "Blunt Bob," still exists. You can cut the style even without hairstyling experience, providing you're willing to take your time to learn the hair- cutting process.
Panel haircuts are layered haircuts but, instead of the bottom layer being the longest, in a panel haircut, it's the shortest. The hair is cut from underneath and each layer is cut longer to lay over the shorter layer. This paneling allows the lower levels to lift up, giving the hair more volume. Paneling is a good choice for those with very fine hair, as it helps the hair maintain its style.
One of the most popular and sought-after hairstyles, the classic bob features sleek, straight and bouncy tresses that abruptly and evenly cut off at around the jaw line. The simplicity of the style makes it perfect for all age groups. With very little fuss, everyone can pull of this style beautifully. Another aspect that makes this style beautiful is the simplicity of the cut itself. It does not take special skill or a license to create this cut. All you need is a steady hand, a good eye and the ability to read and follow directions.
The graduated bob (or simply the bob) is a common hairstyle that was first popularized in the 1960s and has recently become in vogue again as pop stars such as Victoria Beckham sport the style. The haircut is not particularly difficult to accomplish if you follow some simple instructions.
