She drew admiring glances as she arrived to the event, showing off a sharp new bob that fell to her jawline. Queen Letizia of Spain debuted her bob haircut at the 2015 Woman Awards in Madrid on April, with guests including Salma Hayek, and since then her bob hairstyle has made a huge comeback between celebrities of all over the world. After practicing with a faux bob last year, the stylish Queen of Spain was ready to cut her hair into an asymmetrical blunt-cut bob. The awarded Spanish hairstylist Antonio Garrido, along with Termix, explains how this same bob cut is now the haircut of choice in his salon.

“The key to the success of this hairstyle is that we get a completely straight and smooth haircut, at about jaw-level. Thus, it is important the technique but also the tools that, according to its quality, will determine its result”, he explains. “For this reason I use the new shears CK23 and CK23T of Termix, the latest in the market, with the best cutting precision and resistance. For this haircut, a very precise accuracy is needed for a clean cut, without shifting the hair. Also, the hair thinning shears of Termix help us thin out all the internal layers of the hair to lose density at the ends”, he adds.

Antonio Garrido is known to be the hairstylist of many Spanish celebrities, who have surrendered to the charms of the magician of the scissors and the beauty, as he is often known as. “Over the past years, long hair has had the monopoly, in all its forms, lengths and possible phases. Now, the above-the-shoulder length—whether in a classic bob or a more mussed-up lob – is decidedly timeless and best-looking for long-oval faces.

Women are looking for a haircut with personality and style. The bob haircut is, without doubt, the ideal trend for summer, both in its wavy or straight finish”, he concludes.
