If you’re looking for a way to spice up your hair game this season, look no further than the baroque bob. This beautiful new way to cut and style a bob is inspired by the opulence of the Baroque era, which took place in the 18th century. Think of the lavish curls, waves, and textures that adorned the heads of royalty and nobility back then. Now, imagine bringing that same flair and drama to your 21st-century look like Zendaya, who’s been one of the first celebrities to adopt this stunning look that’s so Old Hollywood.
What’s Different From Other Bobs?
What sets apart the baroque bob from other bobs we’ve seen so many of in the last few years is mainly the texture and curls, which can be sculpted, loose, or messy, depending on your preference and mood. The key with this haircut is all in the styling to create volume and movement that really make a statement.
The Baroque Bob is especially flattering for those with thicker, curlier hair, as it showcases the natural beauty and bounce of your locks. However, anyone can rock this trend, regardless of your hair type or texture. If you have straight or fine hair, you can use rollers, curling irons, or other tools to create the desired curls. You can also experiment with different lengths, layers, and bangs to suit your face shape and style.
Now, let’s talk about parts — that hair detail that can be so controversial! To style this new type of bob that definitely has more movement and texture, you can go for a classic look with a middle part and symmetrical curls on both sides. Or you can switch it up with a side part, a deep side sweep, or a half-up, half-down style.
You can also accessorize your Baroque Bob with bows, hair clips with pearls, or other elements that are opulent and will be perfect for a big party or wedding — ideal if you’re a summer bride and it’s high humidity weather.
The Baroque Bob Maintenance Program
To maintain your Baroque Bob as flawless and beautiful as when you first walked out of the salon, you’ll need to take good care of your curls and keep them hydrated and healthy.
Use a moisturizing shampoo, conditioner and mask (a good choice, the Nounou line from Davines, a nourishing formula for highly processed or brittle hair), and apply a leave-in product or oil to seal in the moisture and add shine.
Avoid excessive heat and brushing, as they can damage curls and cause frizz. Instead, use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair. You can also refresh your curls with a spray bottle of water or a curl-enhancing product.
As you can see, the Baroque Bob is the perfect hairstyle if you want to embrace your inner goddess and stand out from the crowd. It’s a versatile and glamorous haircut that can transform your look and make you feel fabulous. So, what are you waiting for? Book an appointment with your favourite hairstylist. You won’t regret it!
