The Prada Bob Has Entered the Chat, and Now, Everyone I Know Wants to Chop Off Their Hair

I'm sure it's obvious by now, but we live for any kind of bob haircut. Whether it's in a French, Italian, curly, or relaxed style, there's truly a bob cut out there for everyone. But the new style of bob on the block that I'm sure you haven't heard of yet comes with a chic designer spin. Think lots of swoop and asymmetry!

Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos coined this one the "Prada bob." If you're wondering about what makes this style unique and the best way to style it, you've come to the right place. I asked Giannetos for the 411 on this flattering new haircut trend. He was kind enough to give me all the deets. Keep scrolling for what he had to share.

What Is the Prada Bob?

Giannetos recently gave actress Joey King this chic cut. Here's what it entails. "The Prada bob is a short, blunt cut swooping inward right above the jawline and starting from an exaggerated side part," he says. "It is asymmetric but gives the illusion of being a few centimeters longer toward the nape of the neck. With Joey King, her hair was straightened to flip inward at the ends to pull the look together, but any hair type can achieve this bob."

It's great to know that any hair texture can rock this one. I recently wrote an article on curly bobs and was inspired to try out the cut myself—even though my curls are pretty thick. That being said, even if you have thick hair, you can try adding some layers into it to give it more dimension.

How to Style a Prada Bob

According to Giannetos, the Prada bob is all about how you style it. It creates a sleek, polished, and put-together look when you style with hot tools and the right products. Giannetos says, "If people are interested in getting this specific cut, they should ask for their hair to be straightened and styled to slightly curl inward at the bottom toward the chin."

You may want to add a few things to the mix. If you have fine or straight hair, a light pomade or cream will do to slick down any of those flyaways. If you have curly or coarse hair, you might want to go for a non-crunchy gel. For all hair types, a great hair spray is also extremely handy.
