Bobs are uber-trendy right now and a classic look. But they can be versatile (see Katie Holmes' bob hairstyle here) and there are many types of bobs out there to choose from.

This jaw-length bob is my favorite of Katie Holmes's bobs.

To get this look, "ask that it be slightly shorter in the back with very subtle layering throughout," says stylist Chris McMillan in Allure Magazine.

According to McMillan, this is a cut that works best on straight hair. "It should also have bangs that are completely blunt and straight an cut just above the eyebrow." If you have a slightly round face, ask for longer, sideswept bangs, McMillan advises.

You'll need a good flatiron for this look. Check out my top 5 flatiron picks.
