@headrushdesigns
If you're not into the blunt bob, adding side-swept bangs is a perfect way to soften the look. The layers on the sides and back will add extra volume investing into a win-win look of this sexy haircut.
What’s the one hairstyle that works for everyone? The bob!No matter what variation of a bob cut you choose, no matter what hair type you have: from fine hair to thick coarse locks, you can't go wrong with trying out an adorable short
bob, especially because it’s one of the most low-maintenance hairstyles out there.So, what are you waiting for? We've pulled together the trendiest chic bob hairstyles to give you a little inspiration.
@shorthairobsessionChange is necessary, change is good. Nothing holds quite as much power as a transformational haircut. That is why we crave them, plan them, execute them, and walk away from them with an exhilarated smile.This year speaks to so many of us to make changes, and here we are, with a great collection of fresh, stylish short bob haircuts to help you incorporate the change in your life.
Remember to pay attention to the hair texture and thickness, when choosing the cut; also, it’s a good idea to bear your skin tone and undertone in mind when choosing the color of the cut.And, as usual, save the pics of your favorite haircuts from our gallery to personalize them when you visit your hairstylist next time.
@kissed.by.colorYou may not change your hairstyle very often, but we'd say this is a safe look to land on if you want to try a new short haircut. To replicate this look, you'll need to apply a texturizing product like Beach Club Texture Spray to wet hair (excluding the bangs). Then, blow-dry bangs with a round brush and dry the rest of the hair with a diffuser to achieve those beachy waves.
@armineh_capelliThis bob hairstyle shouts YOU’RE STUNNING! And who doesn't want to get compliments like this? But fair warning - this hairstyle requires a bit more maintenance than other short bob hairstyles because of the blunt ends and bangs.@headrushdesignsIf you're not into the blunt bob, adding side-swept bangs is a perfect way to soften the look. The layers on the sides and back will add extra volume investing into a win-win look of this sexy haircut.
@mainpointsalonOpting for a graduated cut is a great way to diversify your bob hairstyle. Its stacked layers add instant volume at the sides and back, too. Side-swept bangs look flattering on women with round faces since they visually prolong the face.
@hairbymj_You’ll never fail to impress everyone with such gorgeous bob hair cuts like in this photo. Despite being rather simple, this glossy straight asymmetrical bob looks perfect thanks to the deep side part and the ideal trim. Extra shine will also make a great visual effect - use a hair shine spray for this purpose.
@cagancreaWe don't see straight bob hairstyles often anymore, but when we do, we love it. It works best if you have thick hair. However, it will look flattering for fine hair too if you make some adjustments - such as this edgy, sharp blunt trim at the bottom of this jaw length bob.
@judehairstylistThis sleek glossy bob is an example of a classic one-length bob hairstyle that could look boring and too basic but actually looks so appealing and charming.What’s the secret? The look of smooth and healthy hair is a real game-changer. So, if you invest in the health of your locks, you won’t need any intricate haircuts to stand out.
@inspiresalonmdIf you’re looking for a so-called “summer haircut” that will look fresh for a long time, won’t be destroyed with salt water, intensive wind, or sun, and also won’t take a lot of time and effort to maintain, a shaggy bob haircut is exactly what you need.
@hairbykirstyfox_vivosalonTo bring new life to short layered bob hairstyles, you can experiment with the shape. Long in the front short in the back bob with layered bangs slightly opens the neck, making the hairstyle so juicy and hot.
@pineappleacresstyleMany women love sporting short bob cuts because of their versatility. If you want to replicate this blown-out messy bob with lowlights, use a round brush when you blow-dry to create that fantastic extra volume. And sweep the top hair to one side without making a distinctive parting.
@joeltorresstyleThis ash-purple cropped bob with bangs and shaggy layers is a modern interpretation of the old good vintage bob. The hair industry strives to combine incompatible elements in hairstyles today. Eventually, this very short bob hairstyle mixes a straight blunt fringe with disconnected shaggy hair on the sides and refreshing trendy color.
@marci_and_the_maneThis short bob hairstyle is a romantic interpretation of the cut. Brond color (meaning the mixture of brown and blonde) gives extra depth and thickness, while the waves make the cut more playful. The jaw-length makes the neck visible and eventually, the whole image becomes more graceful and tender.
@harumistylistA deep side part is a small detail that makes a very big difference. Firstly, it adds more volume to the crown, secondly, the asymmetric bangs frame the face in a more flattering way than with a central pay, thirdly, the grown-out dark roots become a cool feature rather than a flaw.
@ernestomenesesA sassy look for a rebellious girl. Rules are created to be broken, right? So, why not make the A-line a bit ripped and torn? Leave the front strands longer than they’re supposed to be, and cut the back part extremely short. Choppy layers are optional but will also be a nice fit for this bold short bob haircut.
@shorthairobsessionA blunt bob works for all hair types, but we recommend it for ladies with thin hair because it makes your locks look instantly thicker. Who doesn't want that?As for the style in general, it’s obviously much more classy than the previous one and will be a good match for women who tend to stick to traditional fashion rules.
@jrod.hairOh, those curls! Playful, romantic, intriguing, mind-blowing… How lucky the girls with naturally curly hair are. And how gorgeous the short curly bob is. If you’re born with curls, you should definitely give a chance to some bob haircut variation at least once in your life.However, remember that it’s essential to take proper care of your curls to make them look healthy and silky so that your short curly bob doesn’t turn into a mop.
@kaylacortneyRazor cut is a nice way to balance the look: it prevents messy, disconnected, highlighted hair from looking too scruffy. This variant of a short bob haircut is often chosen by multifaceted women who wanna show off several aspects of their personality, often the controversial ones.
@taralee_mitchA straight rounded bob may seem like an average haircut that doesn’t have any potential to stand out. How misleading this opinion is! Just a drop of bright color – and voila: a boring good girl’s haircut turns into a unique on-trend hairstyle.
@salon_aline_thielenIf you're leaning on the shorter side, a pixie bob is a right choice. With longer, swooping layers, you still have room to style your locks the way you want, without all the hassle and maintenance that comes with having longer hair.
@thesalonbellevilleOne of the easiest ways to glam up your short bob hairstyle is with an outstanding color twist. Add some waves, spritz with a texturizing spray, and you're all set! This voluminous bob with stacked layers will be a fantastic complement to a romantic outfit, or to a casual daily look.
@macavipeluqueriasCaramel-brown balayage and a shaggy texture are probably the most popular combo nowadays. Women love this dying technique for its versatility and long-term effect (if your dark roots are growing out, it looks great anyway.) As for, the length, it’s predictable too: the shorter the hair, the easier it is to take care of it.
@shorthairobsessionWow! Wow! Wow! This one is not your average bear! Especially great for straight short hair, this bobbed hair idea is meant to attract all the eyes. You’d better find a good professional if you wanna copy this look since every detail is significant here. You can also replace the blue hue with any other color.
@joeltorresstyleIf you’re into experiments, consider this burgundy bob with orangey highlights as a model. With piecey shaggy bangs, that have been so popular in recent years, this messy layered bob is meant to shine.
@jamiemcdhairAdding highlights to a short bob hairstyle gives your locks even more dimension, making them appear thicker. Since this chin-length bob is rather voluminous, it is not recommended to girls with round and square face shapes.
@shorthairobsessionThis one is a winner in the category of cute bob haircuts. Indeed, this pink is a true heart-breaker. Airy and almost fluffy, this A-line short bob will be especially flattering for those with fair skin and a warm undertone.
@timbbeauty.ukOh. My. Gosh. This ombre bob cut is just incredible. Blending from warm blonde to burning orange, it will look just flawless on girls with dark and golden skin tones. In order not to get lost visually with this hair color, you’ll need to add some makeup.
@shorthairobsessionThis rounded short bob for women is all about elegance, luxury, and gloss. It’s perfect for naturally straight hair - won’t require any extra effort to maintain the look. On one hand, this short bob with intensive mascara and red lips makes an unforgettable image for a party or a special evening. On the other hand, with minimal makeup, it turns into a cute and neat everyday style.
@vanessalarriva_hairHere is a nice neck-length short bob black hair option for women over 40. Does it make you look younger? Definitely, yes. Especially, if paired with light brown sun-kissed strands. As for the texture, wavy and a bit messy style will work much better than a polished slick hairstyle.
@nikki_mrburrowshairAnother way to pull off an edgier bob hairstyle is to add an undercut or shaved sides. It doesn't limit your styling options - you can play with the fringe and the upper hair layer style. Geometric lines are another feature that makes this ear-length bob so unique.
@_katiegawWe’ve already discussed the combination of brown hair with caramel highlights - and it, undoubtedly, has no chances to fail. But when it comes to natural curly texture, this hairstyle transfers to another level of perfection. One thing to remember: to look win-win, curly hair requires extra care.All those creams, sprays, and special shampoos are not just a marketing trick - they do make a difference.
@jacobhairWho doesn't love a purple hue like this one? For those bold enough to try it, you'll love how it looks with a short bob. The colorist has done a good job matching the natural brown with the purple highlights. However, you can replace purple with any other color according to your preferences and your skin tone.
@studio5ponsonbyThe short bob is a relatively "safe" option as far as women's short hairstyles go, so adding a pop of bold, platinum color with shadow on the roots and ends is the perfect way to create an edgy look.
@alyssabellestriThe choppy short bob is the perfect hairstyle for ladies with thin hair. The layers give your locks a much-needed lift, and they require little to no styling. However, you can put extra effort and add 3D waves to diversify the look.
@ririsa1028Rose gold is another perfect match for women with fair skin and a warm undertone. This color is something in the middle: it’s a bit brighter than natural fair hair, but not too eccentric so that it won’t draw too much attention.
@bakki_houseHere is an idea for girls who aren’t ready for dramatic changes but still wanna update their natural brown hair look. An inverted bob will not seem too short for you since the front strands are long enough. For a shiny look of the hair, do home and salon hair treatments, and also try some cosmetic solutions like a shine hair spray.
@katie_paints_hairAs you can notice, all bob hairstyles for fine hair include layers, texture, and colorful highlights - these ingredients give that effect of depth and thickness. This image is a great example of how various your experiments with these “ingredients” can be.
@georgeeblancooIt could be a trivial A-line slick bob, but the trending grey blonde color has made it a piece of art. Show your colorist this photo if you like the look, and your hairstylist will; offer you the most similar color variant that will work for your skin tone and undertone as well as your natural hair color.
@jacobhairWe're drooling. This green bob is one of our favorites on this list and looks adorable with tousled, beachy waves. To replicate it, take a large-barrel curling iron and curl in one-inch sections, alternating the direction each time.
@beckabradshawA cute round bob for women over 60 could look much more stereotypical, but small details make a huge difference. All you need is to keep it cut with a razor in a sharp and edgy way. How to style a bob like this? You’ll need a blow-dryer, a round brush, and maybe some Kenra hairspray (if you want more volume.)
@jacobhairA perfect bob for thin hair is a shaggy bob with highlights. But if these highlights are so bright, it’s another hook that grabs the attention so that people just don’t notice that your hair is rather thin. Save this pic if you’re looking for a creative hair colors combination too.
@zavivkalvivThere is one method of how to make your hair curly that we haven’t mentioned yet. The perm. It’s a rather old technology, which is still being actively used. Among the benefits is that you don’t need to spend eternity in front of the mirror with a curling iron - you just wake up with your curls and only need to take care of them.
@urbanhairandbeautyloungeA concave bob haircut (aka the inverted bob, the A-line bob, or the wedge bob) is a hairstyle that is longer in the front than it is in the back. Nothing new, just another inspirational picture for you to save and show to your hairstylist.
@vanessalarriva_hairJust look how magically a short bob haircut for women transforms the total look. Such a textured bob hairstyle is a happy medium between straight and curled, giving you a classy, put-together style you can wear anywhere. Our recommendation is to use the Paul Mitchell sculpting foam to achieve the effect from the picture.
@leannefitzgerald_hairMaybe, today is the right time for you to try out a hairstyle on opposite ends of the spectrum? Ready to transfer from waist-length locks to this adorable blonde bob? Follow this lead ‘cause all your dreams should come true.
@kaylacortneyHere is a bob hairstyles variant that will be loved by women who adore the natural vibe. This honey-brown bob with blonde highlights looks like it is a sun-kissed child’s hair. Light waves add some magic to the haircut, and, surprisingly, you can get these waves with a straightening iron and a texturizing spray only.
@foreverbobbedThis inverted bob hairstyle idea looks very glamorous and feminine. Thanks to gray babylights, the total look is so unboring. Thanks to the indistinct parting, you can adjust this cut to your face shape.
@kaylacortneyIt would be an ordinary graduated bob with textured and layered short hair if it weren’t for that juicy rainbow touch. In this case, you have a chance to give a new life to your short hair without actually changing a lot. So that, this one is a rather safe option.
@bioionicThe main feature that highlights this cut from other layered short hairstyles for fine hair is the dramatic gradation from super short hair at the back to pretty long hair in front. The texture, and volume, and highlights also spice up this cut.
@jacobhairSilver bob hair is a definite trend that is unlikely to fade soon. That’s why it’s a win-win choice of the hair hue. As for the total look of the cut, it’s pretty airy. This lightweight effect is achieved thanks to feathered layers that soften the image as well as the dimensional construction of this bob.
@fosterlondonThis is another look that's great for ladies with fine hair because the bob and balayage work together to create tons of dimension, making your hair look ten times thicker.
@shorthairobsessionLooking at this short blunt bob undercut, you probably ask yourself how to style really short hair. Well, in the case of Asian hair (like in the pic), or any other naturally straight hair, you won’t need anything special at all: you’ll make a perfect look with a blow-dryer and a brush, or even if your hair gets dry naturally.However, for textured hair, you’ll need a hair straightener, a heat-protecting hair product, and some patience on top of it all.
@gilarutWe're swooning over this bob hairstyle. This option is great for ladies who don't have time - or don't want to - spend much time in front of the mirror getting ready.Simply blow dry with a round brush and flat iron for a casual, chic style. But the best part is that the nape area is highlighted with an asymmetrical hairline.
@syddidmyhairLayers and texture are exactly what people with round face shapes expect to get when they are having their hair cut. As for the colors, it’s another reminder for you that you’re free to choose any hair colors you can imagine and make cool combinations based on them.
@jonmichaelsalonA short bob is perfect for blondes because it shows off the dimension of the color. From platinum to more ashy shades, you get to show off everything you're working with. Since the best short haircuts are accompanied by bangs, consider getting this detail as well.
@carlena_philippelusiIf you've got thin locks and want to rock this short bob hairstyle, you have to have the right products. We recommend using a thickening product like Redken's Aerate on damp hair, as well as a round brush when you blow-dry. Your new hairdo will thank you! And it will also make you look much younger than you are.@salonkhairspaIf you're looking for a simple, easy-to-manage bob hairstyle, this one's for you. To get the smooth, perfectionist’s look, we recommend using smoothing hair cream. For more looks like this, check out our blog on red hairstyles.
