I’m over the high-maintenance hair trends. I love to style my hair with a hot brush for a bouncy blowout or with a curling wand to create waves, but this summer I’m really into lower-fuss hair. Because let’s be honest for a second. Sometimes doing your hair can feel like a real chore. One of the biggest bob hair trends for summer is the undone bob, which is virtually effortless, and thankfully, is making its 2025 debut on countless celebrities from Gracie Abrams to Kendall Jenner. The undone bob has been a reigning hair trend of recent years, but is now making its 2025 debut on countless celebrities.
What Is the Undone Bob?
“The undone bob is about showing off your natural hair texture and not doing too much to your hair. Think a soft wave in the hair, piecey waves and enhancing natural curls. This is a cool, understated hair mood that whispers coolness without too much effort. The undone bob is beautiful because it is not only a short hair trend, but it’s also the only one that doesn’t require much styling. Bouncy bobs and razor-cut bob shapes have been reigning for a while, so the undone bob is a timeless palate-cleanser. Plus, who wants to be near a hair dryer or straightener when the weather gets hot? This style also works well if you air dry your hair to bring out your natural texture.
