Super short bobs—also known as micro-bobs—have been trending since the start of the year, and they’re not going anywhere for autumn. As is so often the case, it’s the celebrities who have adopted the cut that have helped make it a must-have style. Among them is Gigi Hadid, whose wavy, sunshine-ready look is perfect for those with naturally curly hair. More recently at the Venice Film Festival, Isabelle Huppert sported a retro wavy bob, and looked more elegant than ever.

How to wear the micro-bob now? Ultra-short and just below the ears. With or without bangs, sleek or wavy: it’s best to consult your hairdresser to discover which style suits your face best. There are plenty of good reasons to opt for the micro-bob this autumn: it’s the perfect way to reinvigorate and refresh your look; it can be worn by all hair types, from super-straight to tight curls; and, when it’s done well, it’s a cut that looks after itself, no styling needed.
