The Tucked Bob

Somewhere between a bixie and a bob, this variation on the bob is slightly longer, tucked behind the ears with a subtle curve at the ends. “Hamnet” star Jessie Buckley wears it here at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards.

The Cornrow Bob

A brilliant option for afro-textured hair, the cornrow bob can be loose and floaty or intricate and detailed. Tyla wore hers with eyebrow-grazing kiss curls for the Valentino spring 2026 couture show. The ends were left undone and flicked out for a retro effect.
