Should You Get an Asymmetrical Bob?

By Chloe Hall,  ELLE

We've obsessed over the lob, the perfect bangs, and the pixie, but what about the asymmetrical bob? A cut that shorter on one side than the other has seen a revival thanks with Kim Kardashian West, Lucy Hale, and Badgal Riri. Gone are the days of the bob's nicknames like "I want to talk to the manager" haircut and "business in the back, party on the side" style. The smear campaign is a thing of the past, and the style is getting a fresh 2018 spin. It's back, it's fun, it's uneven. It's time to try the asymmetrical bob.

Juliet 'Juju' Casteneda

Casteneda's blunt ends accentuate the cut's futuristic unevenness.

Dua Lipa

The sleek and slicked-back look looks streamlined tucked behind the ears.

Gabrielle Union

A bangin' bob. Union's very deep side part lends jaunty dimension.

Carmen Soo

The actress rocked the bob on the red carpet of thew new film Crazy Rich Asians. Great film, great haircut.

Lucy Hale

This bob gets an A+. The Pretty Little Liar adds a soft curl to the ends for a '60s flare.

Marion Cotillard

We all want French girl style but why stop at the clothes. The French actress' haircut is parfait.

Zoe Saldana

Saldana looks like a 2018 Marilyn Monroe. The curled bob and red lipstick channel the ultimate retro Hollywood glam.

Rosemund Pike

Damn, gone girl. The long sides give this classic bob that edge a woman who fakes her own murder needs.

Kim Kardashian West

The hair chameleon changed it up again with this sharp and blunt bob. The ends are so razor sharp they could (and would) cut you.

Victoria Beckham

The OG Posh Spice haircut. The designer hasn't changed her hair in years and why should she.

Jennifer Aniston

The "Rachel" haircut was a moment; this swingy bob with jagged ends is a classic.

Rihanna

Who doesn't want hair like Rihanna? Blonde streaks add even more crackle.
