The Ultimate Guide to Old Money Bob Hair Trend

The old-money Bob is the chicest haircut of 2024.. and beyond.

It's about time you step into vintage glamor.

In case you haven't noticed, a haircut that's on the rise and has graced even the Golden Globes red carpet is the old-money Bob. We know what you're thinking- another bob haircut again. But this is different.

This haircut will remind you of the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic (though quieter), giving you a luxurious, vintage, and old-money vibe. From what we've seen, it's the next ‘big’ haircut that should be on your radar.

It's understandable why we would say that, considering its amassed popularity on different social media platforms. While that's not far from being true, the real reason is the high glamor, and mixture of classic and modernity it gives to your look.

What is the Old Money Bob?

The 90s old money bob grew in popularity following the old money aesthetic that went viral on TikTok.

The style is a super glossy, bouncy, and above-the-shoulder haircut that reminds you of the sophistication in Gossip Girl. Remember Blair Waldorf in the series, or Monica Geller in season two of Friends.

This haircut exudes glamor, taking us back to old school but adding a modern touch and a polished spin. If we must describe it fully, we will emphasize the volume that spreads throughout the hair with the little bit of shaping it has in front for more bounce. How gorgeous that makes it.

It's refined, elegant, and subtly chic. This style resonates with people, shifting the focus from shouty styles to endearing, minimalistic, and classic ones. People's eagerness to find more maintainable and versatile haircuts has made it an adored style in 2024.

Pros of the Old Money Bob

While the style speaks for itself, let's list a few pros of the haircut.

1. Elegance

The old money bob has timeless elegance and charm to it. This keeps it trendy and makes us doubt it will go out of style.

2. Gorgeous Appearance

For fancy occasions and professional events, the old money bob should be your go-to style. It's gorgeous and can make you look expensive.

3. Versatility

The old money bob can be customized to suit everyone. You can add your touch to it and it will still look incredible. The haircut can also be styled with different hair textures, making it a top choice as most people love it.

4. Youthful and Elegant Look

You can elevate your look with the old money bob. It naturally gives a young appearance and frames the face perfectly.

How to Get the Old Money Bob?

Method 1: Cut And Style By Hairstylist

Here's what your stylist should do.

1. At the salon, your stylist should work on the body and fullness of the hair. This is by adding layers inside the hair to give it a naturally full look outward. It's important that the lines of the bob are clean and the ends blunt to create the perfect balance that gives it a sophisticated and expensive feel.
2. The hair around the face also has to be softly shaped. This will make it appear thick without compromising the movement that keeps it bouncy.
3. Your stylist must strike a balance between the structure of the hair and its movement. Achieving this takes precision and skill. So, be sure to visit a professional stylist.
4. To suit you, ask for a length between your collarbone and jawline. Choose a longer length if you have a wider face. As we've said, the old money bob is versatile. You can customize it to fit your proportions and face. But your length can sit around your chin if you have a longer or slimmer face.

What about the parting? We wouldn't dictate what parts to wear. You can go with a middle parting or a side part. Your stylist can also advise on what will be best for your face shape.

Most importantly, if you want things to go smoothly, take your inspo along. It helps to avoid being disappointed once you're done with your haircut.

Method 2: Cut and Stye By Yourstyle

Tips for Styling and Maintaining Your Old Money Bob

The old money bob is a versatile and timeless style. But taking care of it and styling it properly adds an exquisite bonus of luxury and sophistication to your appearance.

Here are some helpful tips for having a good-looking hairstyle.

- Blow Dry Smoothly

We've recommended a few brushes to blow dry your hair earlier. So, use your round brush, barrel brush, or styling tong to keep your hair smooth. If you straighten your curly or wavy hair,  apply a smoothing cream or serum before you dry your hair.

- Keep the Products Simple

The old money bob takes pride in itself. It doesn't need a lot of products to shine beautifully so keep the products to the minimum. A volumizing spray for the perfect lift or a light mousse should keep it thriving.

- Regular Trims

If you want to maintain your bob, never miss your trimming appointments. Regular terms will help you maintain clean lines and keep the ends blunt. You can discuss with your stylist how regular it will be because it depends on how fast your hair grows.
