Pop star Camila Cabello has debuted a new hairstyle that’s taking the fashion world by storm. As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, Cabello has embraced the autumn season with a fresh look: the ‘Birkin bob‘ haircut.
Cabello, known for her ever-changing style, recently showcased her new bob at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. The ‘Birkin bob’ was named by celebrity stylist Dimitris Giannetos on Instagram and is a nod to the classic French girl aesthetic.
Celebrity stylist Gregory Patterson explains that the ‘Birkin bob’ is a long bob with fringe bangs. These bangs are slightly feathered and frame the face better than traditional straight-across bangs. Unlike other bobs, which typically end above the shoulders with a blunt cut, the ‘Birkin bob’ offers a different look.
If you’re interested in trying the ‘Birkin bob’ at your next salon visit, Patterson suggests asking for a haircut that ends at the collarbones. For the bangs, request feathered bangs to frame your face. You can also ask for face-framing layers in the front to avoid a blunt-cut appearance.
The style is all about the longer lob vibe, but it can be customized to suit your preferences. Experiment with fringe lengths to complement your face shape or change textures to transition from a classic French bob to a more edgy look.
Styling the ‘Birkin bob’ doesn’t have to be a challenge. Patterson recommends using a serum or hair oil before styling for a smooth and silky finish. This style is about simplicity and elegance. When blow-drying, take large sections of hair and dry them almost completely. Then, apply your favorite volumizer to the top of your hair to remove frizz and add volume.
