Bobs aren’t going anywhere. As we approach the end of the summer, 2025’s favourite haircut is still front and centre. Say hello to the boho bob.

Perfect for those looking to refresh their short style, but are after something more effortless, the boho bob is a versatile cut with a more tousled and textured feel at the opposite end of the spectrum to sleek, blunt bobs.

If you’re looking for a new style as autumn approaches, here’s everything you need to know about the boho bob.

What is the boho bob?

“Think of the boho bob as a softer, freer version of the traditional bob,” Melissa Timperley, founder of Melissa Salons, tells GLAMOUR. “The beauty of this style is that it’s long enough to tie back, but short enough to feel fresh and modern. It strikes the perfect balance between structure and effortlessness – ideal for those who want a low-maintenance cut that still makes a statement.”

You’ll have already spotted the style on everyone from Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid to Lily Collins and Selena Gomez. But don’t worry, it’s not too late to join them as the style works just as well for autumn and it does for summer.

Who does the boho bob work best for?

The best part about the boho bob is that it works for (almost) everyone. Unlike more blunt bobs – which can accentuate longer or more square face shapes – the versatile boho bob can be tailored to hide or highlight your face shape.”Where the cut ends is where the eye is drawn,” says Melissa. “If you’re not keen on highlighting your chin, avoid a chin-length bob and opt for a slightly longer version to draw the eye downward.” While anyone can try out the style, Melissa says that rounder or fuller faces benefit the most, by “adding movement and elongation”.

If you’re looking to take the plunge, Gem Schwartz, founder of Taylor Rose Hair, suggests bringing your favourite reference images to help guide your stylist. “Ask for a bob that sits between the chin and shoulders with floaty layers and soft face-framing movement,” she advises. “If you want extra fullness, speak to your stylist about adding a few rows of micro ring or keratin extensions or even tape-in hair extensions just around the baseline or mid sections. It’s a subtle enhancement that can transform the cut without making it look like you’re wearing extensions at all.”
