The bob has a fascinating history! It first came about in the 20th century as an avant-garde choice for women who wanted to rebel against beauty standards. Then, by the second World War, it became a popular choice for women working as medics. They had to keep their hair short since they couldn’t take care of it, nor was long hair as hygienic. So they cut their hair into bobs! Nowadays, the bob is widely accepted by women across all races and has fanned out into various styles.
