After that, the bob bowl cut took over the 80s, with the rocketing popularity of the French pop icon – Mireille Mathieu. But what’s so special about this haircut? It perfectly frames the face with the ends of your hair curved inwards. The new bob style had blown a new wind through the world of fashion. It was given a unique name: the “helmet head” look.
