A short bob style is super popular right now and will always be in trend. When having a long hair for a long time and people could get bored of all the maintaining it requires. They might want to chop off the long ratty hair and start fresh again.

Interestingly, the bob style first gained popularity in the 1920s, and Hollywood stars still wear it today in a variety of styles, ranging from sleek and shiny to casual curls. Over the course of the century, the bob has undergone various changes to become the fashion staple it is today.

Before the 1920s, women typically wore their hair long as a sign of femininity and beauty. It was considered rebellious and undesirable for women to have short hair, as it could offend the men in their lives, including fathers, brothers, husbands, and bosses.

However, two significant events changed this in the early 1920s and led to thousands of women worldwide adopting the short bob hairstyle. Firstly, during World War II, women had to work in factories and hospitals, and long hair was inconvenient and unhygienic. Secondly, a ballroom dancer and actress named Irene Castle cut her hair short to show how modern she was, and the style quickly became popular, named the 'Castle Bob.' Other celebrities followed suit, and the bob became a trend.

Although newspapers, magazines, and men initially criticized the bob as unappealing and unfashionable, its convenience and easy maintenance made it thrive. The bob has since been modified with flipped layers, longer lengths, and wavy textures, among other variations.

Today, the bob style remains popular, and many celebrities continue to wear it. Some of the most popular ones include:
