5 female stars causing “bob hair fever”, why do they look so good with short hair?

Kim Tae-ri bravely cut her hair for her role in the currently popular drama “Jeongnyeon: A Star is Born”. Kim Go-eun once said in an interview, “I cut my hair in a bob because I had too many dyes and perms.” In Nana’s case, she gained popularity by changing her image to a curly bob hairstyle. Song Hye-kyo successfully transformed her image with a bob haircut in the popular drama “The Glory”. Finally, Go Joon-hee, who caused “Bob hair fever” among numerous women, she also enjoyed her peak after cutting her long hair. Is there a particular reason why the bob cut looks particularly good on them?

A bob hairstyle is best for covering long face shapes. For those with a vertically long face and relatively narrow face width, a fringe style with hair down on both sides or on one side, combined with tucking the side hair behind the ears, can create an effect that makes it look the narrow face slightly wider. If you have a long chin, a bob haircut slightly shorter than the jawline with waves near the ears can hide flaws and give a much softer impression.

However, although round face shapes generally suit bob hairstyles well, caution is needed as shaping the ends of the hair so that they stick outward can make the face appear fuller. For those with angular jaws, it’s best to keep the length of the bob above the jaw line to create a distracting effect. Be careful with longer jaw lengths or hair gathered behind the ears, as these can emphasize the angular contours of the face. For prominent cheekbones, a bob style that curves inward along the face line can help soften the features.

While bob hairstyles can potentially limit styling options if they aren’t done carefully, when matched to the shape of the face, they can actually highlight a person’s best features. In particular, the “curly hair perm” which has been trending since this summer has gained popularity with many celebrities trying it. You can try various styles, such as the nerd perm (characterized by thick but natural curls that cover the face with a long fringe and a round outer line), the vintage perm (a perm that creates a 70s-80s mood with curls overall thick and voluminous, evoking a Y2K vibe) and the hippie nerd perm (based on the nerd perm but with stronger waves).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
