From runways to movie screens; offices to schools, short hair is popping up as one of the most popular trends for fall. Perhaps most popular is the “bob” cut. The traditional form of this old style, with its long bangs and even length, is making quite the comeback this season.

Those wearing this style are channeling the 1920s and 1930s to create a chic new look. Other popular variations are the “blunt bob,” which features sharp angles, and the “layered bob” with its lively, wild look.

Some people will want to go even shorter this fall and opt for a “pixie cut,” also known as “the crop.” Rather than the sleek and straight version of this style we are used to seeing, the new trend is to show off your natural texture in a short style.

So, pixie’s with waves or curls are the way to go this season. Finally, there seems to be a trend towards wearing short hair in a more masculine style. This concept was developed on the runways and is likely to hit the streets this fall. The most common look involves using gels, wax, and other products to create ‘dos that resemble 1950s men’s hair. Whatever way you wear it, it seems going for a short cut is the trend to try this fall.

The bob hairstyle originally became popular among women in the 1920s. The short cut was a symbol of the flappers, women who defined themselves by new freedoms. As with most fashions, though, the bob eventually went out of style. It popped again for a brief time in the 1960s, but did not regain widespread popularity until very recently.

Last year, stars like Victoria Beckham started cropping their hair short, and soon the bob was back. Today, it is one of the hottest trends and can be seen on women of all ages. Although the classic, blunt cut is still seen, there are also many new, modern variations on the bob. Most notably, there is the “pob,” which is essentially an inverted bob.

The hair in the front hangs longer than those in the back creating a distinctive angled look. Another hot trend is the cropped bob, which is a shorter take on the traditional cut. This daring style was recently adopted by starlet Katie Holmes, which helped it make a big splash on the fashion scene.

Bobs layers are also in style and add some volume to the ‘do. Razored ends are also a great way to add some edgy boldness to a classic bob.
