To Bop or Not to Bop? Bobs in Long Hairstyles

If you’re like most people, you love the way your hair looks fresh out of the salon⁠—right up until that first shower, that is. Unless you have a knack for hairstyling, a shorter length is easier to manage on a day-to-day basis. It also takes a lot less time to wash, dry, and style. On the other hand, maintaining that “sweet spot” long bob length—not too short, not too long⁠—might also mean more frequent trims at the salon, especially if you’re rocking a blunt cut.
