Graduated Bobs Are Making A Comeback—Here’s The Proof

It’s true—the bob is the haircut trend of 2023. However, not all bobs are created equal. From the longer and voluminous Italian bob to the sleek box bob, there are so many types of bobs and there is a shape and style to suit everyone. And with just about every celebrity from Zendaya to Hailey Bieber jumping on the trend, and every hairstylist I speak to confirming it’s the most in-demand short hairstyle trend in the salon, it’s safe to say this is a haircut trend that isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

Just when we though we couldn’t spy anymore bob trends, another one is just cropping up on the haircut horizon. But this time, it’s with a Y2K twist. Enter the graduated bob. I won’t lie, I didn’t have this haircut on my 2023 hair trends bingo card. The mention of graduated bob might make you think of Victoria Beckham’s 2000s-era angled bob, or the haircut that screams “I’d like to speak to the manager”, but, 2023’s graduated bobs are far chicer, with a modern update—I promise.
