I have always hated bobs; they are what I would call a lazy haircut, until I succumbed to their charm, thanks to New Zealand's hairdresser of the year, Danny Pato from d&m Hair design in Auckland. Now, I am sporting the latest reincarnation - a wob, and I have to say - I am loving it. Why I hear you ask? Not only is it the easiest look to style (it suits my wavy locks), right now this carefree tousled version, is bang on trend. It helps that A-Listers including, Jennifer Lawrence, Karlie Kloss and Miranda Kerr, have put this cropped cut back on trend, but also hair stylists are excited about it as well. Pato believes this is the season of the wob. "It has taken over as the most on-trend style of bob shape. And the best way to create it, is to go with your natural movement - and then mess it up.” He adds, "A great-looking wob is a hot mess of effortlessly tousled waves, falling elegantly to the chin.”
