Celebrity hairstylist Nick Stevenson spoke to Bustle about the appeal of the shaggy bob, describing it as "a haircut with asymmetrical chopped ends and lots of texture." He shared that the haircut is "a great low-maintenance style for those who want a relaxed, lived-in look that's also versatile." Basically, if your hair always looks a little messy, the shaggy bob haircut is the perfect way to work with your hair texture instead of against it. There are many ways to sport the style, from curtain bangs to regular bangs, and even shoulder-length to chopped way above the collarbones.
If you are still unsure, look to celebrities for inspiration. Taylor Swift has rocked a shaggy bob-esque haircut on several occasions, including at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and when she surprised everyone by turning up at the 2016 Met Gala with bleach-blonde hair, per Allure. The singer-songwriter took a gamble with plenty of volume and choppy ends on both occasions, creating two of her most iconic looks to date.
