These short hairstyles are twisted takes on the classic bob. From Ronald McDonald triangle cuts to bright pink knitted wigs, these above-the-shoulder hair features are sure to leave you scratching your head.
Some of these short hairstyles were architectural designs crafted especially for couture runways; others are real-life hairstyles snapped by paparazzi out in the wild.
Implications - Though long, lustrous hair reigned supreme in the fashion and beauty industry for some time, today's consumer is more attracted to the cute, sassy, short bob. This cut represents confidence and power, which is what today's woman hopes to emulate most. Thus, designers are searching for new ways to update the style constantly to keep it hot and modern.
