The Italians know how to do many, many things very, very well. Gelato, aperitivo, luxury leather goods—I could go on. And I don’t know if its because there was a Milanese aesthetic happening over on TikTok (see #tomatogirl for reference) or because I’m currently plotting my next summer escape to Italy, but there is certainly an Italian feeling in the air—or hair, I should say. And it’s starting to trickle into salons, too.
Bobs have remained a constant in the hairdressing world. the style is not so much of a trend but a timeless cut we see morph over time. (We’re looking at your box bob, Hailey Bieber.) For so long, we’ve seen the French bob haircut dominate in salons. It’s a timeless haircut that manages to be simple yet effortlessly stylish on just about every hair type. After all, who doesn’t want a slice of that Parisian style? However, there’s undoubtedly been a shift towards longer and bouncier bobs. Enter the Italian bob.
