Yes, it was the Egyptians who were the first to make such a hairstyle. Actually they shavedbald, and wigs with an air gap were put on their heads. This helped to better endure the heat. In addition, wigs showed that a person belongs to high society, since then they were made from real hair and were very expensive. Ordinary people could not afford such a luxury.
Classic bob
The most popular type of bob hairstyle is a haircut when the hair is cut in one line. The length of the strands does not reach the chin. This is the classic square. The hairstyle does not provide for additional cuts, layers, graduations. A bang with a classic square is straight, even, although it is not required. Example: Rihanna.

Owners of a round face should not wear this hairstyle, it will only emphasize the cheeks, make the head bigger. For girls with a massive bottom of the face (square, rectangle shape), the hair will only emphasize the large jaw, enclose the face in a "frame".
Long bob
A more versatile hairstyle is an elongated bob. As in the previous version, the hair is cut along one line, but reaches the shoulders. Looks good with natural styling or a little tousled. In general, there are many hairstyles for medium hair. This type of bob was worn by Selena Gomez for a long time.

It can be either flat or beveled. You can also experiment with coloring. Do ombre, sombra, balayage. In addition, this type of bob is also very convenient, as it allows you to collect hair in a ponytail.
Bob-carriage
Photos of bob hairstyles have become especially popular in 2018. This type of haircut gives the hair a special volume. Usually, the bob is performed on short hair, the length of which approximately reaches the chin. Many middle aged stars prefer this haircut as it makes the whole look look younger.
The strands at the face are usually a little longer than at the back of the head, but the difference is not very big. If the hair is naturally very thick, then it is enough to make one cut or a very small graduation. In another case, a large number of strand levels are made. Haircut can be done with or without bangs. There are also many variations of the bean. The hairstyle can be both asymmetrical and elongated at the face. Strands can be neat, and can also look torn. Haircut looks good and when it grows. You do not have to contact the master when short hair begins to grow. They will very naturally fold into a slightly different, but the same stylish hairstyle.
Kare "on the leg"
Especially brave girls should try to do this hairstyle. Not everyone is able to cut their hair so short, but this style has its own number of advantages. Victoria Beckham wore this hairstyle in 2016.
The peculiarity of the hairstyle is that the hair on the back of the head is as short as possible, sometimes even shaved bald. On top of this area, as it were, a little "cap" of hair covers. The strands gradually lengthen towards the face. This type of caret is more popular without graduation. A clean cut adds creativity to the hairstyle. Bangs are usually not worn with this hairstyle.
The main advantage of the bob - adds volume to the hair, so the haircut is suitable for girls with sparse hair. Also, the neck looks especially long and graceful. It is believed that styling does not require much effort.
Kare with long front strands
Quite interesting in the photo, the bob hairstyle looks when the front strands are slightly elongated. Behind the length of the hair is much shorter than near the face. The transition is done gradually. Strands can be cut in one line, and graduation is also possible in order to smooth out the difference.
This type of bob adds volume to the hairstyle, and long strands in front stretch the face. For curly hair, it is recommended to make a very small difference in length, and girls with even strands can be bold and make a strong contrast. The hairstyle looks best on girls with a round face shape. Kare is suitable for absolutely all types of hair. When deciding on this haircut, you need to remember that facial hair will require special styling, as the strands constantly turn outward.
Kare with bangs
It looks pretty cute in the photo of the bob hairstyle with bangs. There are many varieties of bangs. If you don't think this style suits you, then chances are you just haven't tried everything.
Bangs allow you to correct some features of the face. For example, dense straight bangs will narrow the forehead and also reduce the elongated oval. Oblique bangs are best suited for girls with a round or square face shape. A rectangular oval is best suited for arched bangs. It will smooth out all the corners of the face.
Graduated caret
Among the bob hairstyles for women, there is also a graduated haircut. At the same time, the hair is cut at an angle, with an extension to the face. Strands throughout the head are cut to different lengths. Stylists thus achieve the effect of careless styling.
According to stylists, graduation greatly simplifies styling. The haircut itself, as it were, determines the direction of the strands, that is, they will turn less to the other side. Also, because the top layer of the hair is shorter, it's easier to achieve voluminous hair.
It is believed that a graduated square is suitable for all types of faces. For example, girls with a rectangular shape can be graduated from the middle of the hairstyle. Thus, the hairstyle will visually narrow the face.
Kare-cascade
Hairstyle with a cascade - a kind of elongated caret. Hair is cut not in one line, but in steps. This helps to remove the maximum split ends, and also makes the haircut easier, more voluminous.
The hairstyle is in many ways similar to the previous type of caret - a haircut withgraduation. What they have in common is that the strands are not cut along one line, but in the form of steps. However, with graduation, the transition becomes very noticeable, and with a cascade, it is smooth. Usually, a cascade is done only on the hair near the face, and in the second case, all over the head. In addition, it is believed that the graduation looks better on short hair, and the cascade looks better with a longer haircut.
Asymmetric bob
A fairly popular bob hairstyle this year is also an asymmetrical haircut. The hair is cut shorter on one side than on the other. In this case, the transition should be smooth. Asymmetry is allowed for any length of the caret, the contrast can also be different.
Asymmetrical bob is usually chosen by young girls who want to stand out from the crowd. The result always lives up to expectations. This haircut is very eye catching. It is believed that asymmetry looks best on girls with a round or square face. The diagonal formed by the ends of the front strands visually reduces the face. Before you make yourself an asymmetrical bob, you need to consider that styling will take a lot of time - a long strand will constantly turn outward.
Kare for curly hair
Girls with curly hair can also try bob hairstyles. Most importantly, use a few tips below.
It is believed that it is best to choose a haircut with graduation, and not a straight cut. Thus, the hair, twisting, will make it voluminous from the middle, and not at the bottom. It is better not to cut the bangs. However,if your hair is just curly and not very curly, you can trim your bangs as well. You can do almost all bob options, but with an asymmetrical haircut and a hairstyle with elongated front strands, do not make a big difference in length.
Styling options
Don't think that a bob hairstyle can somehow limit your choice of hairstyles. Experiment with parting. Do it on the side, in the center, and most importantly - do not stop at one styling. Even the most ordinary parting on the side can spice up the whole haircut. Try straight styling. At first glance, it seems simple, but in fact it takes the most time and effort, but it's worth it - the square looks just gorgeous. You can curl the tips inward, this makes the face thin. Of course, try different types of waves and curls. Don't forget the wet effect. Complement the hairstyle with small pigtails near the face. Also try to make big spikelets on top of the head without grabbing the hair on the sides.
Never be afraid to try something new!
