Flapper Bobs

The flapper bob haircut was the shape that made the 1920s look modern—blunt ends, no layers, cut close to the jaw so it swung when you danced the Charleston. Louise Brooks wore hers razor-sharp; Colleen Moore softened the line with a fringe. This category breaks down how to get that geometric precision without a time machine, using today’s tools instead of a straight razor and pin curls.
