Embrace Your Bob: The Ultimate Guide to Loving Your Signature Cut
There’s one thing we never said at Wildwood: “Bobs are basic.” In fact, we think the bob is endlessly chic. Whether it’s micro, classic, or extended, there’s a bob shape for everyone—which is why we’re diving into how to get the most out of this iconic cut. (Spoiler: It’s easier—and more fun—than you think.)
Why Bobs Rule (and Why They Should Be Yours)
Versatility Personified – From sleek and straight to beachy with texture, the bob adapts to your mood, your morning coffee schedule, and yes, even your favorite hat.
Low-Maintenance, High-Style – The bob’s shorter silhouette means less tangling, quicker styling, and more time sipping iced lattes or midday naps.
Flattering for Everyone – Long jawline? Short neck? Thin hair? Thick? Bobs shine across the board with the right shape and stylist magic.
(So yes—there’s really a bob just for you, and we’ll help you find it.)
How to Keep Your Bob Looking Fierce
1. Plan Your Trim Like a Pro
Healthy hair grows about ½ inch per month, so let that math guide your schedule:
Micro/Ultra-Short Bobs: 4–6 weeks, to keep shape razor-sharp.
Classic Chin-Length: 6–8 weeks, for that fresh-but-grow-friendly vibe.
Long or Layered Bobs: 8–10 weeks, because extra length deserves extra time.

2. Match Your Styling to Your Vibe
Sleek & Smooth: Flat iron + shine serum. Fast, glossy, and always sophisticated.
Textured & Touchable: Sea salt spray or texturizing mist = that “I just ran my fingers through it” effect.
Cozy Curls: Tame frizz with smoothing oil, or refresh your waves with a gentle curl-defining product.
3. Give Your Ends the TLC They Crave
Use a hydrating treatment or split-end serum weekly—especially if your bob sees heat styling or sun exposure. Great hair starts at the ends and at the scalp.
4. Customize with Accessories—Arizona Edition
From wide-brimmed straw hats to delightful barrettes, find adornments that feel you—and just desert-day practical.
5. Chat With Your Stylist (Yes, This Counts as Fun!)
Want more volume, face-framing layers, or a peek-a-boo color accent? Bring in inspo images, swap stories over a latte, and let’s design the bob that resonates with your personality and lifestyle.

Warmer weather and hair loss?
Let’s get into something that we talk a LOT about here at Wildwood.
As the days get longer and the sun shines stronger, you might notice more hair in your brush or shower drain. Don’t panic—this kind of seasonal hair loss is totally normal. At Wildwood Hair Co., we believe in embracing the natural rhythm of your hair and giving it the care it needs through every season.
Yes, Hair Has a Cycle..
Just like your skin renews itself, your hair also goes through a growth cycle:
Anagen (growth phase)
Catagen (transition phase)
Telogen (resting/shedding phase)
During the warmer months, especially late summer, many people experience more shedding as hair enters the telogen phase. It’s the body's natural rhythm and not usually a cause for concern.
Why Does It Happen in Summer?
Sun exposure, heat, humidity, and even increased time outdoors can stress your scalp and hair. Plus, UV rays, salt water, chlorine, and sweat can lead to dryness and breakage, making shedding more noticeable.
5 Simple Ways to Care for Your Hair This Summer:
Hydrate, Inside and Out – Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to replenish moisture.
Protect from UV – Wear a hat or use a UV-protectant hair spray when you're out in the sun for long periods.
Be Gentle – Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair and avoid tight hairstyles that pull at the scalp.
Scalp Love – Treat your scalp like skin! A gentle exfoliating scrub once a week can help keep follicles clear and healthy.
Cool It Down – Minimize heat styling or opt for lower heat settings during peak summer months.
When to Check In with a Pro
Seasonal shedding should be temporary. If you're seeing clumps of hair, noticing bald spots, or your hair feels significantly thinner over time, it might be worth checking in with a stylist or healthcare provider.
Remember: healthy hair starts with healthy habits. Treat your locks with a little extra love this season—your future self (and your hair) will thank you.
