Something quite common is that we opt for an absolutely ideal haircut, we look wonderful with it, but our surprise comes with the first wash after the hairdressers. There we discovered that part of the magic was also the hairstyle of the cut. For this reason, knowing how to style your hair is also essential.
Among the trend cuts 2026, haircuts bob They are still a big bet, and they are far from gone. Mainly because a medium length haircut is always more versatile than a short haircut and at the same time it is a great option to rejuvenate the image and still have options such as updos or pigtails.
Now within the world bob There are many versions, both in shapes and lengths and this 2026 what is most sought after is that the cut provides volume and has movement. To find the hair style that best suits our face, it is important to seek advice from those who know the most.
The same cut, different results
When adapting a haircut, the physiognomy of each person must be taken into account and the same goes for the hairstyle. The hairdresser and image consultant Charo García Ilitia has spoken about this aspect in the Cosmopolitan publication. “The cut is not defined only by the length, but by how it ends. In trends such as the polished 'bob', the 'minimal clavicut' or the nineties midi, what really changes the intention of the 'look' is the final direction of the ends,” comments the expert.
In this sense, Charo explains that the same haircut can flatter different face types by simply changing the way the tips are combed. A very interesting fact that makes complete sense. At the end of the day what you play with is the shapes to add volumes or refine them, achieving a very natural balance. For example, “the same 'bob' at the clavicle can be slimmed if it curves inward, rejuvenated if it turns slightly outward, or empowered if it is completely straight. The finish is what personalizes,” says García.
Bob cut with straight ends
It is one of the manes bob more rejuvenating and attractive, and by showing straight ends, the hair gains a lot of movement at the tip line. This style “provides structure and forcefulness. They project strength, modernity and a more solid image. They work very well when you are looking for presence and character. Of course, if they are not balanced with texture or volume, they can harden,” emphasizes the hairdresser.
Elongated faces look especially good with this type of cut, since as García says, the straight or slightly outward tips at chin level balance the verticality.
Mane with tips out
Although this type of bob is very elegant, it also has the charm of a hair that looks more relaxed, and that is due to something as simple as the way the ends have been marked. We can talk about a choppy disheveled but at the same time careful in detail. The tips pointing out, as the expert highlights, “visually elevate the expression, generate dynamism and provide a youthful air. They slightly widen the area where they end, which can be strategic depending on the face. They have that nineties point that is now returning with force.”
A type of face that will look especially good with a bob with outward ends are round faces since, as Charo comments, “slightly outward or straight ends with greater volume are ideal for visually lengthening.” They also work very well to widen a face that is thin at the bottom or when the shoulders are broad, creating visual balance.
Hair with tips inward
The inward tips are ideal for achieving a bob more polished and with rounded lines. “They soften the features, refine the contour and provide a more classic and elegant finish. They give a feeling of polish and order. They are ideal when we want to soften marked features,” adds the stylist.
This spring it will be a style that will accompany us until summer and that air of quiet luxury makes it very attractive. Faces with very marked or angular jaws will find this shape of bob a great ally to soften. “Faces with marked angles – strong jaw or prominent cheekbones – are greatly softened with inward tips; the curve redirects the gaze towards the center, reduces lateral width and softens hard lines,” García emphasizes.
