Marilyn-Bob and Scandi Bob Dominate 2026 Hair Trend

The modern Marilyn‑Bob, inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s iconic look, has become a summer‑season favourite in 2026. Characterised by voluminous, soft‑wave styling rather than a strict cut, the style is promoted by celebrities such as Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna and relies on volume‑boosting products and gentle blow‑dry techniques.

The “Scandi Bob”, also called the Nordic Bob, is the leading short‑hair trend for autumn 2026. A chin‑length, blunt cut that suits fine, straight hair, it has seen a 408 % rise in Google searches this year. Stylists highlight its low‑maintenance appeal and ability to add visual fullness, with recommendations for a deep side or middle part and optional subtle layering for added texture.
