Trends come and go and change on a regular basis, especially when it comes to hairstyles. Take the bob, for example. Hair pros claim that this season, the A-line bob is definitely on the way out as fans of Victoria Beckham’s once insanely popular cut have waned. But don’t fret, because a new version of the bob has taken its place—the Box bob! While the A-line version has a severe angle running short-to-long from the nape to the sides, the box version is (you guessed it!) boxier, with a design line that’s the same from back to front. It has no angle and runs parallel to the floor for a clean, classic “Louise Brooks” shape. The key to this cut is a clean, shiny finish so prep towel-dried hair with Macadamia Healing Oil Spray then blow-dry with a Denman brush following the shape of the head for a smooth, sleek finish. Finish with another mist of Healing Oil Spray. Get a FREE Sample of Macadamia Oil!

Michelle O. Rihanna. Keira Knightley. Katie Holmes. Victoria Beckham. Jennifer Aniston…and the list goes on. At some point, all of these ladies have fallen in love with the bob, a cut that was first made famous in the 1920s and given new life by Vidal Sassoon in the ‘60s. According to NYC hair guru Sam Brocato, the bob will never go out of style. “We keep it fresh and new with different color and textures,” he says. “But it has to be done right!” Here are a few tricks from Sam to ensure this classic style looks classy, every time. Proportion is everything: height, weight, body proportions, size of forehead, length of neck and face shape; they all matter! For petite girls, a shorter, more angular shape works best. Conversely, this approach wouldn’t cut it on someone with different proportions. Any texture can be “bobbed;” even the finest hair. The caveat? Ladies with fine hair should have a very blunt cut in the back. Maintain your client’s bob by scheduling her appointments every 8-10 weeks. “Bobs are quite low-maintenance,” Sam says. “They’re great for clients with busy lifestyles.” Check out the classic bob step-by-step from Sassoon Academy!
