The Bob haircut turns 100 years old!

The bob hair cut Katie Holmes

Happy Birthday to The Bob! It may be hard to believe but women have loved and worn the bob for 100 years now, whether it was to keep grooming to a minimum during the First World War or used to rebel against femininity in the 1920s.

Perhaps the bob's survival is down to its numerous transformations over the decades. From forties film siren Gene Tierney to Victoria Beckham emerging with the ‘pob' and Katie Holmes showing the world she was most definitely a yummy mummy with her sleek new do.

If you fancy ditching the old for the new this year you'll need the right tools to keep your look sleek and chic. We recommend the Botanics Hair Shine Infusion Serum, £3.91 before blow drying your hair straight and the Boots Essentials Extra Hold Hair Spray is a bargain at just 97p!

Both products at Boots nationwide and Boots.com
