What is important for the trend hairstyle 2023?
With the soft blunt bob, a softer contour is important, which is even cut a little fluffy. This gives the trend hairstyle a sweet and romantic undertone that impresses some women better. The reasons: Damaged hair looks a bit erratic deep down and the soft blunt bob comes into its own in such a case. First the mane is cut blunt, then extra thinned at the tips. The cutting technique ensures improved adaptability of the bob cut for thicker hair types, but fine hair also benefits from this in another aspect: the mane visually gains more texture.

The milder variant of the cut could be implemented even on long hair, so women with all hair lengths remember the peculiarities of the technique.
Which ladies does the soft blunt bob suit?
The good news? The soft blunt bob is incredibly versatile and suits all hair types with the one exception being curly hair. Of course, the natural perfectionist aesthetic doesn’t really lend itself to a uniform finish on curly hair texture.
