Has anyone else noticed a big shift in bob hair trends this year? Gone are the days of the sleek, blunt bob haircut. Instead, we’re favouring “undone”, tousled styles with choppy layers and lots of movement. I’ve written a lot about the tuft bob and the serrated bob as of late, but today, I’m here to talk to you about the disconnected bob. This trend has been dominating my social feeds, and after chatting with an expert about how to make the trend work for individual hair types, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to give it a go.

What Is the Disconnected Bob?

So, what is this trending style? “The disconnected bob is basically a bob with a little attitude,” explains Neale Rodger, style director at Stil Salon. “Instead of everything sitting in one neat line, you get subtle shifts in length that break up the shape and give it a more modern, slightly rebellious feel. It still looks clean, but there is a bit of built-in movement that makes it feel cooler and less classic.”
