Another day, another bob hairstyle trend I simply can’t stop thinking about. Honestly, there are so many chic short-hair trends around this season that I’m almost tempted to book an appointment with my hairdresser and finally go for the chop. The trend that’s got me this excited? The linen bob.
In my opinion, this is set to be the bob hairstyle of the summer. It has that effortless, beachy feel while still looking polished and elegant. If you’re curious to learn more about this hairstyle, keep scrolling…
What Is the Linen Bob Hair Trend?
So, what exactly is a linen bob? Just as the name suggests, this hairstyle brings together two major summer hair trends: the classic bob cut and the linen blonde hair colour. “Linen blonde is a gorgeous soft, neutral blonde shade that falls somewhere between cool and warm tones,” explains Charley Henery, British Colour Technician of the Year and International Artistic Director at TONI&GUY. “Picture creamy, sandy hues with a slightly softened finish. What makes it so easy to wear is its versatility—it’s not too golden and not too ashy, meaning it complements every skin tone. It’s the ideal understated blonde for summer.”
The best part about this colour trend is how beautifully it pairs with a bob hairstyle. “The neutral tones of linen blonde help highlight the shape of a bob, creating depth and dimension without taking attention away from the cut,” Henery says.
