Japanese Bob
The Japanese bob is the sharpest haircut of the year: a blunt, one-length bob cut with almost no layers, sitting between the jaw and the collarbone. Stylists are booking it out for spring and summer 2026, and it is not a forgiving cut if it does not suit you. Upload a selfie to OpenArt's Short Hair Filter and see the exact line on your own face in under a minute, before you sit in the chair.

Un lob es simplemente un bob más largo, a la altura de la clavícula o por debajo, y puede llevar capas o corte recto. Un bob francés es más corto y suave, normalmente con flequillo cortina. El bob japonés es una versión más arquitectónica y de corte recto, casi sin graduación y con una línea más limpia que las otras dos.
It is a loanword: ボブ (bobu). If you are asking a stylist in Japan for one, "ボブにしたいです" (Bobu ni shitai desu) means "I want a bob cut."
It works best on straight to slightly wavy hair, where the geometric shape holds on its own. Curlier textures can wear a version of it, but plan on more frequent smoothing to keep the line visible.
