Sleek, contemporary, low-maintenance...what's not to love about the all-American bob? This style has been a longtime favorite for a reason: it has serious staying power. It's especially evocative for the modern American gal — unique and carefree.

We adore the bob, but with a caveat: with this style, there's a fine line between looking like a trendsetter and feeling outdated. With the wrong details, a bob can feel more like a outdated cut than a modern hairdo.

If you love the idea of donning a summer bob but want to keep this aesthetic fresh for summer, feel free to try these trendy styles:

Boticelli Bob

Perfect for anyone with a jam-packed summer schedule, the Boticcelli has been dubbed the bob of the season. Drawing on the simple appeal of soft waves, this trendy 'do is incredibly easy to style and maintain. It's currently the go-to look for several of the hottest stars, including the likes of Kristen Bell. 

Boyfriend Bob

It's old news that side parts are out. Until recently, however, we've associated the popular middle part with longer hairstyles. That's about to change, as a refreshed version with a short, blunt cut is now trending. Known as the boyfriend bob, this is a powerful look that works wonders when you want an extra boost of confidence.

The Lob

Not quite ready to dive into the world of the bob? Dip your toe in with a modified version known as the lob (short for long bob). This hairstyle is far from new, but it's seen a resurgence this year. It's a versatile look that can be styled according to your unique preferences. For 2022, stick with a middle part and add some texture.

Outgrown Bob

If you're willing to take off slightly more hair, try a modified take on the lob known as the outgrown bob. This falls halfway between lob and bob length, providing the opportunity to pull your hair back into a half or full pony if you desire. From soft waves to a razor-sharp cut, the bob continues to show its versatility in 2022.
