Every autumn, as we begin to bundle up in scarves and turtlenecks, a new trending hairstyle often comes into play. This year, the focus is on a particularly sharp cut – the razored bob. This trendy haircut has recently been showcased by none other than Lily Collins, star of Emily in Paris. Debuting her new look at the recent red carpet premiere of the show’s fourth season, Collins’ unique take on the modern hairstyle is nothing short of perfection.
This particular styling of bob sits inches above the shoulder and is characterized by razored ends and an intentional mussed-up finish. Styled with a sleek parting that gradually introduces more texture towards the bottom, Gregory Russell, acclaimed hair stylist behind this look, achieved an ideal balance between elegance and edge.
A well-known advocate of bobs himself, London’s “Bob King”, George Northwood also attests to the attractiveness of Collins’ fresher approach. He further explains that unlike traditional bobs cut using scissors, a razored bob employs a razor for cutting. This process results in slightly jagged ends lending it a modern feel with their textured edge. Rather than seeming harsh like conventional bobs, this technique gives an impression of being stylishly torn at its bottom ends.
Whereas one-length bobs might give off a prim vibe, opting for a razored finish offers an effortlessly cool style irrespective of how you choose to style it or not. For Northwood and many others who share his perspective on the matter, these cuts are most appealing when kept as natural as possible – straight but organically so.
Another fabulous proponent of this cut is French influencer Lena Simonne whose lived-in razored bob radiates chic sophistication while maintaining laid-back vibes.
To style while keeping within Northwood’s low-maintenance doctrine? All it takes is some dry shampoo and texturizing spray to impart that desired slightly piecey texture to your ends. So when it comes to timeless elegance that is suitable for all occasions, look no further than your next haircut – the razored bob. Beautifully modern with a classic appeal, this sharp hairstyle simply pairs well with every season, making your autumn fashion statement truly shine.
