Another day, another bob hair trend that I just can't get enough of. Seriously, there are so many good short hair trends this season that I am practically itching to call up my hairdresser and go for the chop. What trend has me this excited, I hear you ask? None other than the linen bob hair trend.
In my opinion, this is going to be the bob hairstyle of the summer. It's giving me all of the beachy vibes and manages to look laidback yet elegant all at the same time. If you want to know more about this hairstyle, then keep on scrolling...
What Is the Linen Bob Hair Trend?
So, what is a linen bob? As the name suggests, this hairstyle combines two of the biggest summer hair trends, a bob hairstyle and the linen blonde hair colour. "Linen blonde is a beautifully soft, neutral-toned blonde that sits between cool and warm," explains Charley Henery, British colour technician of the year and international artistic director at TONI&GUY. "Think creamy, sandy tones with a slightly muted finish. What makes it so wearable is its versatility; it’s neither too golden nor too ashy, which means it flatters all skin tones. It’s the perfect, understated blonde for summer."
The great thing about this hair colour trend is that it works perfectly with a bob hairstyle. "The neutral tones in linen blonde help enhance the structure of a bob, adding depth and dimension without overpowering the cut," Henery tells me.
Check out some of my favourite linen bob hairstyles below.
