Teenage girls love playing with their hair and are always looking for a trendy new look to flaunt. If you tend to stick to medium and long teen girl hairstyles, then a short bob might not seem like something you’d try at first.
However, there are a couple of reasons a short bob haircut should be on your list of hairstyles for teenage girls.
There’s a bob style for every face shape and hair texture, it has the ability to flatter your facial features, and it’s been seen on some of Hollywood’s youngest celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, and Chloe Morëtz.
If these pretty ladies have rocked a short bob, get your foot in the game a little early by rocking one for yourself as a teenager!
