2017 has two official hairstyles. The first is hardly any hair at all, as seen on Cara Delevigne, Amandla Stenberg, Adwoa Aboah and Kristen Stewart. The second is the blunt, short bob cut, made popular by Cara Taylor, Lucy Hale, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.
While a buzzcut affords very few styling options (apart from bleaching and/or dyeing), a blunt bob hairstyle is far less limiting than it seems. On her recent trip to Paris, Bella Hadid — and celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin — made this point very, very clear by proving the versatility of a short bob cut. Click through the slideshow above for a crash course on how to wear just-above-shoulder-level hair, as modeled by the belle du jour.

Bella Hadid Hair #4
Pay homage to baby hairs. First, part your bob cut in a V shape. Pull the back section into a high topknot (tease it into curls, if you’re able). Slick the remaining divisions to their respective sides using gel and a fine-tooth comb.
