The edgier celebrity beauties can't get enough of the classic bob with its strong perimeter and heavy blunt fringe. The definitive look is a small, solid shape. Errol Douglas says, "Graduation up the back of the neck into the nape creates a beautiful line and if it's jaw level is very alluring in the best Louise Brooks tradition - sexy and sharp."

Encourage smoothness with Richard Ward's Stay Straight Shampoo and Conditioner, £4.49 each, available at Superdrug. Another bonus with the bob is its adaptability. A fringe can be dressed into a quiff, while a low side parting and a slick sculpted look combine for a vampy, androgynous feel.
