Alternately, it may taper downwards from the back to the sides. It is similar to but distinct from the bowl cut (a.k.a. pudding basin cut). Some versions are known as a "''pageboy''" haircut. Fringe/bangs are optional. Can be FetishFuel for some men.

A feature of TheRoaringTwenties; it's ''generally'' non-existent in TheWest [[NewerThanTheyThink before then]], first appearing in fashion magazines in the late 1910s. Initially it was associated with "bad girls", and many men at the time were upset to see their wives and girlfriends with short, boyish hair. Many government and religious institutions opposed the bob and although they couldn't stop it, did their best to make life hell for women who happened to like having short hair. However, by the late 20s the bob was not only accepted, but embraced, even by men. Its heyday was about 1922-1932, but it had a comeback in TheFifties and TheSixties as a popular girl's haircut, but the reputation changed. They were no longer associated with "bad girls" but innocent [[SeeminglyWholesome50sGirl (at least on the surface) ]]MaltShop dwelling bubblegum chewing teenage girls that used words like "Dreamboat" and "swell". The association has [[ZigZaggingTrope bounced around since]] TheSeventies [[ZigZaggingTrope back and forth]] [[CyclicTrope from "trendy" to "dowdy"]] [[PopularityPolynomial with the current opinion being trendy but still shaking the dowdy association.]]
