Summer is the perfect season to switch up your hair look—just ask Sofia Richie. In time for warmer temperatures, the new mom traded in her signature long waves and slicked-back bun for a short haircut. On June 21, Richie shared her fresh bob in an Instagram post with the caption “French Bob @georgecurranhair,” tagging her hairstylist George Curran. For her bob debut, she wore a black tank top with a striped pleated drop-waist skirt and round sunglasses, keeping in line with her quiet-luxury aesthetic.
Bob haircuts have been one of the biggest hair trends of the year, with stars like Selena Gomez and Zendaya making the chop. Most recently, Today With Jenna & Friends host Jenna Bush Hager got a bob haircut on live TV. Inspired by actor Leslie Bibb’s short haircut from the popular HBO series The White Lotus, Bush Hager enlisted Bibb and her hairstylist Chris McMillan for the viral moment.
Bibb is emerging as quite the bob aficionado. On Richie’s post she commented: “Welcome sister.”

Curran shared a behind-the-scenes video of Richie’s French bob on his Instagram account, where the duo shared some background on the new look. According to Richie, her new chop was a result of hair damage from keratin treatments, which uses chemicals to smooth frizzy or curly hair.
“Alright, I’ve been thinking long and hard about this,” Richie says in the video. “I did one too many keratin treatments on my hair, and over the past six months I’ve just been cutting at it and cutting at it hoping that I could get this dead [hair] away and it’s just not going away. And I know what I have to do to make this hair healthy again, and it’s to start over. So we’re cutting a bob.”
