News & Inspiration

If you have fine hair and have been considering getting it cut into a bob, you may be wondering if this will work for your hair type. The great thing about the bob is that it can be adapted to work for fine hair, due to its versatility and all the different types of bobs that are available. There are also plenty of ways to style a bob to make it look fuller, for example, a wave to your hair will give finer hair body, no matter which bob style or length you opt for. As one of the most stylish hair salons in London (at our Fitzrovia salon) and Surrey (our Esher salon), we have listed our top ten bob hairstyles for fine hair below, to give you all the inspiration that you’ll need.

1. The classic bob

 The classic bob is one of the best bob hairstyles for fine hair. This is a timeless choice generally falling between the chin and shoulders. It’s even in length all around giving it a clean and polished appearance and making it easy to style. It’s great for fine hair because the blunt ends give structure and weight to the hair.

2. The shag bob

Shaggy bobs work wonderfully on fine hair as they offer volume and plenty of movement. You can go longish or short with plenty of layers. They work especially well on naturally wavy hair, enhancing its texture to create a fuller and thicker appearance allowing you to embrace and showcase the natural hair pattern.

3. Microbobs

Microbobs have risen in popularity this year, finishing around the jawline. Just a little longer than a pixie cut, micro bobs will suit fine hair as they can make your hair look thicker because your hair tends to be wispier on the ends and thicker at the roots.

4. Inverted bobs

Inverted bobs, also known as graduated bobs are making a comeback and they are such a flattering cut because they can be customised with different lengths and styles and can provide both casual and formal looks. The angular cut where you keep some length at the front, will give the illusion of thicker hair.

5. French bob

The French bob usually hits just below the jawline and features great face-framing layers and curtain bangs which can make your hair look thicker around your face. It’s supposed to be styled with a natural look, making it perfect for those with wavy or curly hair too. The choppy cut is ideal for finer hair as it gets rid of any lengthy weight for maximum volume.

6. Butterfly bob

When looking for the best bob hairstyles for fine hair, the butterfly bob is an exceptional choice. This kind of hairstyle will add movement, texture and volume to the hair. It provides an extra flair with blow-dried curtain bangs that frame the face, resembling butterfly wings, and providing a touch of volume. The layered style provides the fullness that fine-haired clients often struggle to achieve.

7. Outgrown bob

An outgrown bob has the ease of still being able to put it back in a ponytail. They can look stylish in an undone, more relaxed way and require less maintenance than other styles. These can work well with fine hair due to their versatility and work particularly well with more tousled, beachy looks.

8. Asymmetric bob

Asymmetrical bobs can be stunning on fine hair, as the uneven cut can create a sense of dimension and add volume. The angular style which features longer lengths in the front than the back, can highlight the thicker strands which frame the face, therefore diverting attention from any thinning at the crown.

9. Side parted bob

A side-parted bob can is one of our best bob hairstyles for fine hair. Generally, it can look less harsh than a middle-parted bob and create an instant lift to the hair. If your hair starts to drop, you can flip it to the other side. Side-parted bobs can look elegant and edgy at the same time making them a versatile choice.

10. Blunt cut bobs

Last but not least, blunt cuts have a solid, clean line that minimises split ends and frames the face beautifully. They can give the appearance of fuller hair as all the hair at the bottom gets cut off creating the impression of more depth.

In the dynamic world of hair fashion, a new metallic hair colour trend is emerging with shimmering brilliance, sophistication, and warmth. Inspired by Olympic medals, these shades are making a statement beyond the podium ceremonies. At HARE & BONE, we embrace change, and these metallic-inspired hues offer the perfect way to refresh your look this season. As one of the best salons in London and Surrey, with hair salons in Fitzrovia and Esher, let’s explore how these metallic hair colours are reshaping hair trends and why they might be the perfect choice for you.

Golden Blonde: The Ultimate Glamour

Golden blonde hair has always been connected with luxury and opulence, and this year it’s making an even bolder statement. This metallic hair colour exudes striking brilliance and radiant elegance, embodying a sun-kissed shimmer that is impossible to ignore.

Look beyond the standard blonde for those ready to embrace the golden allure. Modern golden blonde includes a spectrum of warm tones, from buttery soft highlights to bold, metallic hues that reflect light with every turn. It’s a metallic hair colour that conveys that you’re not just aiming for the top, you’re setting the standard. Pair it with a sleek, polished style or soft, beachy waves to elevate your look and capture that glow. Whether you’re naturally blonde or looking to make a dramatic change, golden blonde can be tailored to suit your skin tone and personal style.

Silver: Sleek Sophistication Meets Futuristic Flair

Silver hair has been making a strong comeback for a while now, but it’s never looked as popular as it does in 2024. This shade brings an air of futuristic sophistication to the forefront, making it the perfect choice for those who love a cutting-edge aesthetic.

The beauty of silver hair lies in its versatility. It can range from a subtle, icy platinum to a deep, steely grey, depending on your lifestyle, hair texture, and personality. This colour works beautifully as a full head of silver or as highlights that frame your face. Or consider a silver balayage that blends seamlessly with your natural colour, adding dimension and depth to your style.

Bronze: Warm and Earthy Elegance

Not a third-rate colour, this warm, earthy tone is super versatile and popular in our salons.

Bronze metallic hair colours range from rich, coppery tones to soft, sun-kissed highlights. It’s a diverse colour that complements a range of skin tones and adds a touch of warmth to any look. Whether you opt for a full head of bronze or subtle highlights, this colour brings a sense of warmth and sophistication to your style. It’s ideal for creating a natural, glowing appearance that reflects your inner beauty.

We’ve always believed in the power of beauty that doesn’t compromise the health of your hair or our planet. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Davines and their groundbreaking approach to regenerative farming. We visited their farm to see first-hand the positive impact they’re creating.

Regenerative farming goes beyond traditional organic farming methods. It focuses on restoring and revitalizing the health of the soil, biodiversity, and ecosystems. This is important for many reasons.

• It promotes biodiversity by preserving native plant species and creating habitats for wildlife. This ensures a healthier ecosystem for future generations.
• It enriches the soil with organic matter, helping to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and reducing our carbon footprint.
• Sustainable farming techniques minimise water usage and promote efficient water management. This conserves precious water resources and protects aquatic ecosystems from pollution.
• Regenerative farming techniques such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting improve soil structure, fertility, and resilience to erosion.

At HARE & BONE, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the world around us. By embracing Davines’ regenerative farming practices, we’re not only transforming the way we care for your hair but also contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone.

Spring/Summer trends are here and our Colour Director and Art Team member, Amelia Evans, talks us through some of the key trends to consider this year.

Mushroom and expensive browns are popular with celebrities such as Hailey Beiber. This trend is perfect for previous balayage blondes who are looking to embrace their natural selves and also still want to have dimension. Adding a face frame or some gentle lights will elevate all-over colours and create light-reflecting natural tones.

Cherry Cola, yes, think of your fave fizzy sweet and how sparkly and rich they are then visualize this beautiful tone, full of burgundy red and warm brown tones. This is the TikTok colour of the moment, very grunge and Y2K is still a massive trend within fashion.

Vanilla Latte Highlights – this is for those who are bored of being super blonde and want a more lived-in sandy approach to their hair. Adding some lightened areas using a selection of highlighting techniques, a glazed glossing of honey and a slight pearl pinky tone over the top will complete this beautiful, multi-dimensional feel.

The Butterfly Bob is the latest adaptation of the classic bob. It’s more relaxed, has more layers and includes the addition of a curtain fringe that frames around the eyes or cheekbones depending on length. Artistic Director, Jamie Benny, explains who this suits best. 

“This is a versatile style that can be shaped to suit all hair textures. The purpose of the Butterfly Bob is to create a heart-shaped face, through the framing of the front layering which means it can also be tailored to all face shapes. If you love the shape but are not willing to go shorter, then consider keeping the length but adding the curtain fringe that travels from the bridge of the nose, curving around the cheekbones to open the face and narrow the jaw area.

the style is also very versatile, which adds to its popularity. Jenna Ortega has a straight version that enhances the shape of the cut and Zendaya wore hers with a more glamorous edge. She has less of a fringe but still the rounded shape frames her face. the best thing about styling the Butterfly Bob, because of the layering, framing and texture, is that even with different hair types, textures and densities, the shape can be structured so that it is easy to style at home. It should be cut to enhance the natural form and structure of your hair so it’s simple to maintain.”
