There’s no denying bob haircuts are everywhere at the moment. Whether you’re sporting a feathered bob or a bouncy 90s bob, there’s a style to suit every type of hair.

If you’re ready for the chop, especially in this heat wave, the Scandi bob is a sleek look that’ll keep you cool.

With clean and sharp lines, this chic bob is reminiscent of a timeless French bob or box bob, but with a Scandinavian twist. Naomi Watts, Rochelle Humes and Hailey Bieber have all been wearing the style, which sees no graduation in hairline – just one straight blunt edge.

Paul Percival, hair stylist and founder of Percy & Reed, explains that the Scandi bob is a straight, chin-length cut that’s ideal for all hair types. “The idea is that the thickness is even from root to ends,” he says. “If you do have slightly curlier or textured hair, it’s not a bad idea to have a few simple layers through in order to texture the wave and the curl to bounce a little bit.”

Scandinavian style focuses on finding beauty within simplicity, as seen in their interiors with neutral colours, natural woods and simple lines. Percival explains that in a similar way, the cut takes its Scandi name as “it’s supposed to be simple – a simple, symmetrical shape”.
