The shaggy bob is the effortlessly cool hairstyle and Selena Gomez just jumped on board

We love it when two achingly cool styles collide, hence we're 100% backing the shaggy bob that we keep seeing everywhere. For those unfamiliar with the style, the shaggy bob combines the classic bob  with the rebel shag haircut that's been picking up fans ever since Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish put the retro chop back on the map.

Honestly, it's no surprise that the bob is still going strong. It's chic, it's simple and it's refreshing to be able to see our shoulders again after all that regrowth over winter. Meanwhile, the shag is basically sexy, bed-head texture that offers oomph at the crown. Yum. 

Typically, bobs don't tend to have too much in the way of layering going on around the crown, but the shaggy bob inspirits hair with the rock 'n' roll attitude and texture of a shag, alongside the shorter, fresher, collar-bone baring length of a bob. It's kind of a match made in heaven. And with the season switching into spring, and the weather warming up, we couldn't be more excited to have our mop chopped and curated by the pros. The shaggy bob presents the perfect all-in-one situation for something breezy but with attitude.

Just ask Selena Gomez. The singer is the latest celeb to jump on board the shag haircut train, but with the shorter length left-over from her recent soft-curve bob, this falls directly into shaggy bob territory. We love that she's gone for it and added a messy, wispy fringe, too.

Not sure how to make it work for you? We have 9 more ways to wear a shaggy bob below for your viewing pleasure...

One of the biggest shades of the season, vanilla cream is a bright colour refresh but you can keep it a bit rooty to feel more relaxed.

The good thing with a laidback texture is that it's deliberately non-neat, so you can flip the parting from day to day.
