The bob first made a wave during World War I and all through the 1920s during the Prohibition era. At that time, it made a big headline in terms of women’s rights as the hairstyle represents how they stood up to claim independence. 

The best alternative to Clara Bow’s sharp, flapper look, try separating your bob with pins. Then, play around with it using pin curls, which always look great on bobs until you get the look you want.
