The Bob That Knows How to Move for a Camera

Salon chairs from Beverly Hills to Nashville are filling up for the same request this season: a bob, but choppy, cut in layers rather than one blunt line. The appeal isn't the length so much as the motion — hair light enough to catch a camera flash or a spotlight the way a good hemline does. It needs little styling to hold its shape from a step-and-repeat to a stage, which may be the real reason it keeps coming back.
