Bobs Bob Bob Bobin’ Along – 2019
The bob is making another comeback according to Linda Dyett writing in the Style Section of The New York Times, Thursday, January 10, 2019. As a long time bob fan, mostly because it is easy to have it look good 24/7 with no bad hair days. I thought it a good time for you to review your hair history and to re-visit a few of the many bobs archived on my website and blog (put names in Search top right):
