If You Want a Bob Without the Commitment, These Wigs Will Get You Right

Like Beyoncé’s new bob? Want to try a bob without making the big chop; these bob wigs let you have the best of both worlds.

We already told you how Beyoncé’s Feb. 13 debut of her chin-length blonde bob sent folks running to their stylists to recreate the look. The bob, which first took off in the 1920s, never really went out of style. In fact, it just keeps reinventing itself through the decades, as stylists add their own updated interpretations.
