Cropped, chic, and ultra-cool – the micro mini bob is poised to become one of this season’s most transformative cuts, radiating fashion-forward energy. Falling somewhere between the jawline and the cheekbone, the micro mini bob commands attention in any room, offering a polished, daring twist on the classic bob. With its clean, sharp lines, this cut is designed to be striking without feeling overdone; it emphasizes precision, providing a strong, structured shape that naturally enhances the face. If you’re looking to make a statement, the micro mini bob represents the next evolution of the contemporary, classic cut.
"Singer, Anne Marie recently debuted her version of the micro mini bob, which I think will really encourage clients to experiment with their look and perhaps dare to go shorter," says Andy Heasman, International Creative Director of RUSH Hair, adding: "The micro mini bob can be tailored to suit a variety of face shapes, hair types and personal styles – whether that’s adding more layers or a set of bangs, the micro mini bob can be completely bespoke to the client which makes it so special. This cut perfectly balances edge and femininity - particularly suiting those with straighter hair, as the sleek, smoothness of the hair helps to emphasise the shortness of the lengths. Those with an oval face shape look great with the micro mini, as the silhouette highlights the face’s symmetry and draws attention to the slenderness of the jawline."
When it comes to styling, Andy recommends using a medium-sized round brush to style the ends of the hair outwards for a mod 1960s look. "With how short the lengths of the hair are, the over-exaggerated flippy ends look compliment this cut beautifully. Even though the micro mini bob’s roots are based on precision and sharp lines, this cut looks fabulous even when left to naturally airdry after washing. I’d recommend using a light spritz of texture spray to boost volume and style the hair. The micro mini bob is both simultaneously on-trend and timeless, appealing to clients who want to feel chic without being overly styled."
