This group is for all of you who like Bob Haircuts and other short haircuts. A bob is a haircut, usually for women but occasionally for men, in which the hair is cut short, but a weighted area is left to fall between the ears and chin. It was invented in 1909 in Paris by the hairdresser Antoine, who was inspired by "Joan of Arc." After the First World War, it was made popular in the 1920s by flappers.
