The Modern Diana Bob: Spring's Must-Have Haircut

Emerging from a long winter, we're craving freedom and radiant, glossy hair. Book that hairdresser appointment now to debut spring 2021's hottest trend: the modern Diana bob. This fresh, seductive square is elevated by Emma Corrin in The Crown and Kristen Stewart in Spencer, winning us over completely.

Scottish hairstylist Suzie McGill shares with Glamour UK: “Diana always sported a bob, sometimes cut just above her cheekbones, sometimes slightly longer at the back. The trademark of her bob was her very pronounced side parting, the volume and the layers in her hair.” For spring 2021, we're updating it with a bold side part for added volume. Finish with a texturizing spray to tousle the modern Diana bob, creating an effortlessly rebellious vibe on this timeless cut.
