What Is a FOB — And Why Is Everyone Asking for One
The FOB — short for Flipped Out Bob — is the sleek yet playful haircut sweeping salons across the UK right now. Inspired by the soft bounce of 1990s layers but updated for 2025 with a polished finish, this look is perfect for women who want their hair to feel both structured and feminine.
Unlike traditional blunt bobs or tousled lobs, the FOB gently curves outward at the ends. Think of it as the blow dried version of effortless charm — sculpted but not stiff, lively without trying too hard.
Who the FOB Is Perfect For
This style is flattering on almost every face shape and hair type. That is why we are seeing so many of our clients here at Obsessions Salon making the switch. Whether your hair is fine and you want volume, or thick and you want control, the FOB delivers impact with very little styling effort.
