In the 1920s women's fashions changed drastically. Instead of wearing their hair long, women started wearing it cut short. They called this "bobbed" hair. The word "bob" meant "cut short" even before then, where it was used to describe horses whose tails had been cut short: see the lyrics to "Camptown Races" ("I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag") and "Jingle Bells" ("Bells on Bob-Tail ring")
