If you’re apprehensive about a big chop or want to grow your short hair out, a collarbone bob is a good place to start.
Close behind the viral Italian bob and midi bob haircuts in terms of popularity, the collarbone bob is the mid-length chop that lets you straddle both short and long hair. Cut around clavicle length, the style has been seen recently on Florence Pugh, Barbie Ferreira and Bridgerton actor Simone Ashley.
A soft statement cut on all hair types, a collarbone bob can be a great way to dip a toe into the short-hair category or, if you’re used to shorter ’dos, to flirt with growing your hair out. Plus, if you struggle with damaged hair, it’s a haircut that allows you to snip away split ends without losing the ability to throw it into a low pony.
Here are all the ways to style your new (or potential) style, including a few familiar faces.
Skimming collarbone bob
It seems that Florence Pugh is slowly but surely growing out her chic chin-length chop, and as sad as we are about that, she proves that a collarbone bob is a great transition from a shorter style.
Fringed collarbone bob
Soon to be seen in the upcoming Knives Out sequel, actor Jessica Henwick’s beachy collarbone bob has a subtle curl that adds texture and volume.
Straight collarbone bob
Influencer Bettina Looney’s bob haircut is full of natural, gentle volume and curled under to rest on her collarbone.
Curly collarbone bob
Entrepreneur and influencer Hannah Bronfman’s haircut is similar to a stacked bob – parted on the middle, with softly rounded shaping.
Blunt collarbone bob
Euphoria actor Barbie Ferreira first debuted her fiery red copper-toned collarbone bob in January 2021.
Wavy collarbone bob
