Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence and Taylor Swift inject new life into 2014's wob The 'wavy bob' has now surpassed the 'long bob' as the year's most sought-after hairstyle After spending months as one of the world's most popular haircuts, the lob - or 'long bob' - has all but been forgotten by its many fans, who have instead turned their affections towards a new hairstyle sensation: the wob. According to celebrity hairstylist Edward Tricomi, the wavy hairstyle, which is favored by the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, has seen many long-time fans of the lob giving their hairstyle an update and adding a bit of bounce and body in order to create a more carefree and youthful look. 'The long, wavy bob look is very big and will stay that way for a while, as I'm consistently seeing people move toward this easy-to-style look,' Mr Tricomi, master stylist and co-founder of Warren-Tricomi Salons, told Popsugar. From a lob to a wob: Jennifer Lawrence is a big fan of the wavy, carefree hairstyle and has been seen modeling the carefree cut while promoting the latest installment of The Hunger Games Hair today gone tomorrow: Beyoncé (L) recently debuted her wob and, following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift (R), chose to pair the choppy style with a bright, bold lip In the Winter, people usually lean toward clean yet low-maintenance styles, and this is something that fits into both categories, while also being playful and young. Mr Tricomi added that, while the wob, and indeed the lob, are shorter than the majority of the more popular Hollywood hairstyles in recent years, he doesn't see the trend fading any time soon, mainly because it is so easy for celebrities to grow out if they decide they want to change their look up. That theory has certainly proved true for the likes of Karlie Kloss and Emma Stone, who are frequently seen toying with lengthier locks before reverting back to the much-loved wob within a matter of days. 'It's a short hair look without the commitment,' Mr Tricomi, who is known among his clientele as 'Edward Scissorhands thanks to his dry-hair precision styling and incredibly quick haircut technique, said. You can grow out quickly. Trend setters: Karlie Kloss (L) and Emma Stone (R) were among some of the first celebrities to embrace the wob A cut for all occasions: According to hair stylist Edward Tricomi, many people - including Kristen Bell (L) and Nicole Richie (R) - are opting for the wavy chop because of its simplicity Earlier this year, hairdresser Clyde Elezi revealed to MailOnline just why shoulder-length hair has become so popular during the last year. 'Everyone can suit short hair,' Mr Elezi, who owns New York's The Drawing Room salon, said. When your hair is long and plain, I guarantee no one will stop you on the street to ask about your hair. Stylish stars: Julie Bowen (L) and Kerry Washington (R) have both been seen modeling the wob in recent weeks Blonde or brunette? American Horror Story star Emma Roberts went from brunette to blonde but still opted to keep her wob 'But when you have a stylish crop, you'll find you get endless compliments. It's all about the details.' When it comes to styling the wob, there are a huge variety of options available, from tousled, choppy waves to a more sleek and glamorous curl - and all can be easily achieved with just a handful of tools and products. While sea salt spray is the product of choice for the more messy wob, as seen on the likes of Emma Roberts and Emma Stone, when it comes to creating the more refined curls, like those modeled by Kristen Bell and Taylor Swift, Mr Tricomi recommends a finishing cream, which will eliminate frizz and fly-away hairs.
