In the summer of 2025, ask your hairdresser for a "Japanese bob". It's a hot trend that all the it-girls are wearing

Instead of the classic long bob with a side fringe, this season the evenly cut, geometric Japanese bob reigns supreme. It has already been embraced by French it-girls, and now it is also tempting minimalists, fans of nonchalance and women who simply want to look fresh and elegant without much effort.

Summer 2025 is all about simplicity with character. This is best seen on the heads of influencers and trendsetters who, with one move of scissors, cut themselves off from wavy long bobs with "curtain bangs", choosing a much more expressive look - the Japanese bob .

This is a hairstyle that not only catches the eye, but also acts as a natural facelift. In short: it takes years off, adds class.

What exactly is a Japanese bob? It is a cut to the chin line, perfectly even and symmetrical. In its classic version, it appears with a straight fringe , which creates a slightly dome-shaped, very characteristic shape with the rest of the hairstyle. An alternative is the fashionable this season "bottleneck bangs" , i.e. softly layered fringe resembling the neck of a bottle, which slightly softens the severity of the cut.

This bob doesn't like compromises - it's minimalist, precise, and because of that not everyone will feel good in it. People with a very round face or a low forehead may feel overwhelmed by this style . But if you have regular features, an oval or square face and you like clean shapes - bingo! This is a hairstyle tailored to you.

It is no accident that the Japanese bob was taken up by Parisian it-girls. This hairstyle combines two worlds – Japanese precision and French nonchalance. Contrary to appearances, this bob does not require daily battles with a straightener. All you need is a good cutting line and light styling – sometimes just a finger run and you're done. Regular trims (every 4–6 weeks) are key, as they maintain the geometry of the hairstyle. If you want to achieve a subtle lift around the face, get soft rollers – curled overnight, they will make the fringe style itself in the morning.

In the summer, we want hairstyles that don't require constant corrections, but still look fresh even after a hot day. The Japanese bob meets these conditions. It's light, reveals the neck, beautifully emphasizes the contours of the face and doesn't need a liter of hairspray to look good . It's a cut that says: "I'm well-groomed, but I'm not trying" - and that's exactly why it works.

So if you’re in the mood for a subtle makeover that will not only rejuvenate you but also express your personality, the Japanese bob might be the perfect choice. You don’t have to be Parisian to look stylish – all you need is a good cut and a bit of courage.
