If you thought the bob was dead and buried, you’d be sorely mistaken. The short style is undoubtedly one of the most requested haircuts in the salon, and whether you wear yours longer (see Victoria Beckham) or ultra short with bangs, there’s a look that suits everyone.

Meanwhile, Keira Knightley has also been out and about with her own frayed bob. While she was on the Black Doves press tour late last year, Luke styled her hair with lived-in bends and a slightly textured finish – the cool-girl, but nonetheless grown-up, way to wear the frayed bob.

Other adoptees of the look include Sandra Oh, who recently paired an ultra-short frayed bob with a micro fringe, and influencer and model Nara Smith, who wears hers with flicked ends, for more polished appeal.
