While you can’t exactly clone yourself like Megan Fox, you can channel a little of the fierceness and confidence she exudes by copying her latest hairstyle. The Hollywood star recently showed off a stunning bob haircut that was quickly dubbed the “cowgirl bob,” but despite its chic look, it’s actually very easy to maintain. “The cowgirl cut is rough and unconventional, a little imperfect, but beautiful, hence the name,” hairstylist Luke Hersheson, who coined the name for the original version of this shag-lob hybrid style, told Glamour.

Fox’s hairstylist, Dimitris Giannetos, shared his thoughts on the latest cut with PopSugar after the actor shared a selfie of the look on Instagram, where he revealed that the style is perfect for spring and summer. “Coquette beauty is really on trend right now, and the cowgirl bob feels like you’ve had the perfect, sexy cut, then washed your hair, sweated it, and let it air dry,” Giannetos said. If you’re still not sure if this cut is right for you, we’re here to help you decide!
The cowgirl bob is all about messy layers
What all cowgirl bobs have in common is tousled layers. Of course, you can make it as subtle or as bold as you like, but the end result will always be a little tousled and imperfect. That’s why the cowgirl bob is a great choice for anyone who adores the idea of a chic French bob but isn’t keen on styling it every day. With a cowgirl bob, all you really need to do is let nature take its course.

If you’re afraid of bangs, choose very thin ones to achieve the same look.
Bangs are a must in a cowgirl bob, but you have some leeway when it comes to thickness. If chunky bangs aren’t your thing, try thin, ’90s-style bangs. These types of bangs are much thinner and finer, but the end effect is similar if you leave the natural texture instead of styling them perfectly.

The cowgirl bob looks great on textured hair.
Don’t worry, curly ladies, you don’t have to miss out on this trend. In fact, the cowgirl bob looks great on any texture, whether it’s subtle loose waves or super tight and super curly. Of course, curly hair shrinks when it dries, so just remember to cut it to the length you want while it’s wet.

If you have straight hair, add a bit of texture spray for a messy look.
A cowgirl bob looks great with curls or waves, but it works just as well with straight hair. For a subtle messy look, especially if your hair is straight and flat, spritz it with a texture or volume spray and shake it with your hands. The result is a slightly tousled, bedhead-like style that looks super natural and cool.

The cowgirl bob still looks great when it grows out
The best thing about a cowgirl haircut is that it grows beautifully without any additional trimming. Of course, if you plan to keep the bangs, you will have to cut them shorter after a while, but the bob itself looks attractive at any length, even shoulder-length.
