If the square comes and goes with the seasons, we can say that 2024 is its year.
Thus, we no longer count the personalities who adopt it, agreeing to give up a few centimeters.
“The bob is a classic, and one of our signature cuts at Dessange,” analyzes Rémy Ansola, director of the brand’s Training Center.
But seeing it come back in force is good news because long hair doesn't suit everyone.
The square marks a look and allows women to assert their identity.

Confinement, like celebrity style, has in recent years established the trend for long hair, see XXLongs.
“In spring-summer 2024, many women will emancipate themselves with other lengths, in the short and even very short family.
The bangs will also allow changes by being worked in a more or less short, chiseled way... From a creative point of view, it's much more interesting.

Rémy Ansola, director of the Dessange Training Center
But if the “bob”, its Anglo-Saxon name, is omnipresent on red carpets, it allows itself many variations.
“And that’s normal: you have to take into account several criteria to find the right option.
Starting with facial morphology and silhouette.
With a square or rectangular face, it is also better to avoid angular lines: you need to round the corners to add softness.
And this, whatever the age of the person.”
The range of cuts is quite wide: unstructured, classic... Without forgetting that personality also helps define the chosen option.
“Finally, a fundamental key point: we must respect the material, its nature, its texture and its density,” insists the hairdressing specialist.
Very short... like Angèle
During the last Coperni fall-winter 2024-2025 fashion show, Angèle caused a sensation with her new cut: short, with bangs and a nuanced effect in her coloring.
“Be careful: bangs should be avoided on a small forehead because they risk narrowing the shape of the face, especially if you have glasses,” specifies the training director.
But you can choose a short and full version, or a tapered option on a full cut to play on contrasts.
Among the fans of the short bob, we also find Carey Mulligan, America Ferrera and Julia Garner.
“For fine hair, it’s really a good choice because it will immediately restore volume.”
...or long like Jennifer Aniston
The square has the advantage of playing on lengths to suit everyone's desires.
The long version seems a good compromise for those who decide to cut without wanting to opt for a radical change.

Italian style... like Penélope Cruz
Zendaya opened the ball in 2023. Since then, many have given in to the sirens of the
Italian bob
.
His particuliarity ?
Volume for a very glamorous result, perfect for the
red carpet
.
In terms of length, it flirts with the collarbones.
Among the new fans, we include Penélope Cruz but also the model Elsa Hosk.
How to avoid the too classic square?
“By definition, a classic square is something extremely structured.
The hair is cut straight but with a taper at the ends.
To customize it a little, we will work on a movement in the mass and a gradient effect at the level of the basic contour.
We will infuse the latter with a spirit of texturization by using a razor to provide stronger cutting lines.
You should also not hesitate to play with coloring and balayage to bring your hairstyle to life,” analyzes Rémy Ansola.
“The most important thing is to maintain your cut every two to three months because beyond that it no longer exists, you lose the line and therefore the character.”
Wet... like Jennifer Lopez
Last January, Jennifer Lopez caused a sensation by revealing her new cut worked in a wet spirit at Schiaparelli.
“This smoothed effect allows you to play on a masculine-feminine side, especially if you work on your makeup and your look in this spirit of contrast.
The more we play the opposition, the more impact we have,” explains Rémy Ansola.
Wavy... like Mélanie Laurent
Finally, the wavy movement remains the other perfect variation to boost your bob.
Moreover, on the red carpet of ceremonies or in the front row of fashion week, many are making waves.
“It’s still a strong trend, and we still have a lot of requests for styling in this direction.”
Mélanie Laurent, Kelly Rutherford but also Naomi Watts and Julie Gayet are fans.
The secret ?
A straightener or a wavy iron to give movement to the hair.
In short: smooth or wavy, short or mid-length, with or without bangs, the bob multiplies the possibilities to reveal our personality.
