What do you think of my 90’s bob?

2024/6/26 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, so I finally took the plunge and got myself a fresh 90s bob, and honestly, I'm feeling myself! But then a friend hit me with a poll asking if it's 'giving MOTHER or grandmother,' and now I'm wondering if I nailed the chic comeback or if I've just embraced the classic 'mom bob' a little too well! What do you guys think? It's wild how popular the 90s bob cut trends are again, right? Everywhere you look, people are rocking variations of this timeless style. I think part of it is the nostalgia – it's a throwback that feels fresh and modern all at once. Plus, after years of super long hair, a sharp, defined cut just feels so empowering. For me, the appeal definitely included the low-maintenance aspect. My dark, wavy hair can be a challenge, but this style really works with its natural texture, making mornings so much easier! There are so many different types of 90s bobs, too. You have the classic blunt bob, which looks super sleek. Then there's the long 90s bob haircut, which gives you a bit more length to play with while still keeping that iconic shape. I've seen some amazing flipped out bob haircuts that add a really playful touch, and even wavy French bobs without bangs that look so effortlessly chic. For my wavy hair, I found that a slightly layered 90s bob hairstyle helps create movement without sacrificing the overall shape. And for my fellow Black girls out there, the 90s bob is incredibly versatile. I’ve seen stunning natural low maintenance black woman ear length short bob styles that are just perfection. Whether it's a sleek, straight half bob hairstyle or a voluminous, curly look, this cut truly celebrates diverse textures. It's all about finding the right length and layers to complement your face shape and hair type. Mine is a wavy 90s-style bob, and I love how it frames my face, especially with my nose ring adding a bit of edge! To keep my 90s bob looking fresh, I usually just let my natural waves do their thing with a little curl cream. If I want a smoother look, a quick blow-dry with a round brush and then tucking the ends under or flipping them out slightly gives it that classic 90s finish. The key is not to overwork it; the beauty of this style is its effortless cool. So, what's your go-to 90s bob style, and do you have any tips for keeping it chic and not, you know, too 'grandma'?

Bob season?!?
It’s silk press season and I am going back and forth between a sew in and a bouncy bob. 💇🏾‍♀️My only concern is the longevity of the hairstyle. I’m a pretty active girly and wear my natural hair often so idkkkk but I love the look for winter and I think by summer it’ll grow out again! 💆🏾‍♀️💆🏾‍♀️

Learn a language in 90 days watching Netflix ?!
📺 The challenge: 📺 How much Korean can I learn in 90 days by watching Netflix? It started by watching this YouTube video, where based on the theory that 'You learn a word by hearing it 20 times in context', you can learn 1000 words in 100 days! I am going to try this with 90 days
