The bob is one of those cuts that's always around and always fashionable. It's feminine but low maintenance, and it's always been associated with independence and self-confidence. But although the basic structure of the cut has remained the same, the way we structure it and society's perception of the cut in general has shifted enormously over the last hundred years. So to find out how we got to the cut you know and love today, just keep reading.

Wow, this is one heck of haircut! Kimberly Stewart has pulled a Victoria Beckham and chopped her long, blonde locks into the chic and popular angled bob. She showed it off last night at the Stevie Wonder concert in London and I barely recognized her in the photos! I can only hope that she donated her hair to a good cause. What do you think of this new cut on Kimberly?

This modern twist on the blunt bob has really taken off in Hollywood. It's a chin-length crop that's cut straight around the back, with a longer, angled layer in the front to frame the face. Do you think that Star Jones, Rihanna, Jenny McCarthy or Victoria Beckham wears it best?

Word of the Day: Glunge (and How to Get It)

Last year, we took a look at beauty-related portmanteaus - aka two words joined together to form a whole new word. For instance, breakfast + lunch = brunch and long + bob = lob. You get the point. But now, there's a new beauty portmanteau in town: glunge. Glunge, a combination of glamour and grunge, is the idea of contrasting textures within the hair, explains Redken education artistic director, Sam Villa.

To get the look, Villa suggests combining one to two thermal techniques for unexpected, multidimensional texture. Use a texturizing iron, like the Textur iron ($230) from Villa's eponymous line, to change the surface area of the hair and to build the foundation for additional texture. Use a flat iron, like his brand's Sleekr iron ($230) for sleekness, and also to add wave and curl. "Playing with the direction of how hair is coiled around a curling iron, as well as the wrapping technique and angle, can yield endless versions of texture," Villa adds.

From Vena Cava to Araks (both pictured above), we saw a lot of chic, grungy looks at Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week. Me thinks Villa is on to something here with this newly-coined word. Do you?
