The bob is not going to say goodbye to us in 2023! The latest variation of this timeless hairstyle is proof of that. Halfway between a bixie cut and a lob (long bob), the shoulder blade bob is a great hair solution for those of you who aren’t ready to sacrifice your lengths to go short. Apart from the chic look of this hairstyle, it gives the impression of a slimmer face and highlights the neck and neckline. Okay, but how far do you have to cut to adopt it? According to hair experts, the ideal length for this bob is 2–3 cm/ 0.78-1.18 inches below the chin. The hair should then sweep across the shoulders without necessarily resting there, which is precisely the idea of this fabulous new bob cut.

What we love about the new hair trend for spring 2023 is that it is not at all difficult to maintain and suits everyone. Curly girls, there’s no need to give up the bob look with the shoulder blade bob. In fact, even curly and afro manes can enjoy it as long as the line is straight. This trendy hairstyle immediately gives the wearer a youthful look. It is therefore ideal for women aged 50 or over who want to look younger. However, the major advantage of this sensational bob is that you can still tie your hair up. Banana bun, slick bun, low tail, half-tail, braids… there is no shortage of choice when it comes to styling!

To make sure you don’t get confused with the length of your new shoulder blade cut, simply stop right at the shoulder blade. Be careful though, to get it right, it is crucial to even out the lengths into a perfectly straight line. Layers are not allowed here. Of course, the size of this bob cut can vary depending on your face shape and hair type, say our hair experts. That’s why it’s important to consult your hairdresser before taking the step. If you have fine, thinning hair, the shoulder blade bob works well with an unstructured fringe to give you volume. Texturizing products such as dry shampoo are also welcome to give it lift.

It’s decided! To be right on trend in 2023, you’re going for the shoulder blade bob! Okay, but how do you maintain it? And what about styling? As the new trendy bob looks like a lob, it is very easy to maintain. A touch-up every three months is more than enough to maintain its flattering shape. When it comes to styling, this trendy hairstyle can be worn in several stylish ways, depending on the type of hair. Curly girls whose manes are naturally thicker should think about taming their volume with adapted products: mousse, hair oils, balms, etc. For fine, flat hair, this bob cut can also be worn wavy. At 40, 50 or even 60, it has everything to rejuvenate you. Combining it with a side parting is also a great option for styling and enhancing it. The latest hair colour trends are another way to spice it up.
