The classic bob haircut is timeless and versatile, especially when combined with balayage to achieve a natural-looking finish and cover up any root regrowth.
Style your lob to achieve volume at the crown,
curl it for an elegant style, or add waves for texture – whatever works! Just keep it sleek to avoid your lob appearing overly casual or messy.
Shoulder Length
The shoulder-length bob is an elegant yet practical style that suits various face shapes, including Irina Shayk’s signature straight look, or style with the product for more casual events like Carrie Underwood’s who adds dimension to her look with subtle color through an ombre dark-to-light pink gradient ombre highlighting.
An elegant shoulder-length bob with blonde balayage tones can be the ideal way to transition into shorter hair without going all the way. It gives plenty of movement and can be styled to one side or even tucked behind your ears for optimal styling options.
Very Long Lob
The long lob is one of the most sought-after styles among women today, and one that remains evergreen among older ladies and working professionals alike. This versatile look looks incredible when worn pin-straight or with highlights.
This cute style combines sweet face-framing balayage highlights with a choppy layered bob for older ladies and professionals who wish to keep their tresses long yet sophisticated.
Use a deep side part to emphasize its feminine shape or curl it for a beachy beach-chic style that recalls old Hollywood glamour. Lobs are great hairstyles for redheads because they draw attention to your stunning locks – try Keke Palmer’s buttery blonde balayage shade for an exquisite, rich finish, and pair it with curtain bangs for an irresistibly elegant style!
Blunt Bob
With its asymmetric blunt cut, this shoulder-length style creates a dramatic look that is incredibly stunning when worn by women with dark hair. Adaptable to most face shapes and hair textures, it’s deep parting and angled ends help elongate your neckline for added effect.
This chin-length haircut boasts a sharply tapered style that beautifully complements the shape and size of your head while drawing attention to your beautiful features. It looks best on straight hair textures; however, experiment with slight waves or curls for additional interest.
You can wear this blunt bob with either a side or center part and face-framing bangs that suit your facial structure. Dye the tips with bold colors like Kaia Gerber does to add flair. Additionally, this style is an excellent option for formal occasions like weddings.
Layered Bob
Girls looking for an effortless yet stylish hairstyle that still looks professional should try the short layered bob with long wispy bangs, which can be tucked behind the ears or worn sideways to achieve different styles.
This look also works perfectly if you prefer having shorter layers that can be parted to one side for a creative twist! Layers can add texture and edge to your straight styles while creating more body with waves.
However, you must ensure your hairdresser knows how to cut them correctly to avoid looking like a “mom bob.” To get optimal results, it’s always wiser to work with an experienced hairstylist who understands both your hair type and face structure – that is why it is best to hire an expert stylist.
Asymmetrical Bob
Asymmetrical bobs are an on-trend, dramatic cut that looks fantastic regardless of style. These haircuts feature one side tucked behind the ear and a longer piece that falls around your neck, grazing the collarbone to highlight more of your face.
This model’s asymmetric bob has some flair with jagged face-framing tendrils and a coppery hue for extra drama and flair, making this an excellent choice for anyone wanting a memorable style statement!
Those seeking more subdued versions of asymmetrical bobs can experiment with adding longer lengths on one side and precise blunt bangs to tie the look together. You could also play around with more shaved short sides for added edge to this look.
