At once jaunty, mysterious, seductive, irreverent and sophisticated: the bob is not just a haircut but a lifestyle. Also known as bob or bob, this revolutionary hair cut was born in Paris in 1909 at the hands of the famous Polish hairdresser Antoine, who had been inspired by Joan of Arc. But it was in the 1920s that the bob became viral, and flapper girls elected it as an emblem of female rebellion and vindication. Already in the “Roaring Twenties” it is the cinema that contributes in no small way to its diffusion, thanks to the magnetic actress Louise Brooks who, with her very short and raven bob with fringe, enters the imagination of the sensuality of the time. After her, it was Coco Chanel who would influence women with her bob, which became a symbol of practical and modern elegance, while in the 1960s hairdresser Vidal Sassoon reinterpreted the bob with geometric lines, making it a timeless classic.
