I have mixed feelings about this cut. I'm immensely happy that the cut itself prevents any risk of the woman tying her hair into one of those horrible messy buns so popular a few years back, that always looked to me like a form of punishment for the hair. And it does seem to me that this is one of those cuts meant to impress other women by looking sleek than to create an appeal to men.

Still, while I do look twice when I see one (they're suddenly everywhere), I don't really think it adds much allure, and the more extreme the angle of the bob (like in the new Posh pictures) the more you get this weird "wing" effect with the longer hair on the sides moving in the wind, which to me is more bizarre than sexy. One of the bob lovers made the point that the reason the standard bob is sexy is that it swings when the woman moves her head, and I agree. Unfortunately, this cut loses that whole effect.

I predict that in five years this is going to be one of those "What was I thinking?" styles....

It may look ridiculous from the back, but im sure that is not what everone looks at when they are behind her!

loveshorthair - I do too.  Her front is a little too long here; needs to trim a couple of inches off but overall, I still love it.

Looks like she's about to fly off in the second picture. Isn't it the teensiest little bit absurd?

I like it too,but I agree with ALLY that it's EVERYWHERE. A few years ago when I wore it,it wasnt so common.

This is a really sexy style, but some people just cannot pull it off. I'm sick of seeing it on every celebrity and every girl walking down the street. What happened to individuality?

Her length is still extensions even although it's short. She had it almost cropped and blonde for a while then the length suddenly appeared again just before she went dark. Doubt she'll ever grow it out since it would take a while to grow hair that's healthy enough not to snap.
