Short hair can feel liberating, but finding a solution to styling it daily may be challenging. Luckily, your options for styling options are limitless.
Modern Bob
Ask your stylist to create a nape-hugging bob that falls behind your ears and grazes your forehead for a chic style. Add texture by applying the Bed Head with TIGI Textured Wax throughout.
Modern bobs feature slightly longer back hair than the front, allowing the locks to frame the face for a feminine and sophisticated appearance. They can be worn either with or without bangs. Cardi B is a fan of this fashionable haircut style, opting for hers with bangs that fall gracefully to one side for an elegant finish.
Malin Akerman’s chin-length, layered bob is both trendy and classic. The stacked style adds volume, making this cut ideal for those with thinner locks. This can be styled to your desired sleek or messy finish, making this cut genuinely adaptable.
Alternatively, ask your stylist to add subtle highlights and balayage into your bob for maximum impact for an ultra-sleek look. This style creates depth and contrast, and the cuts look more polished.
Stacked Bob
Stacked bobs are an ideal hairstyle for women seeking a sophisticated appearance. They can be styled in various ways, including side bangs or with a full head of lush curls. This versatile hairstyle will fit into any image or style seamlessly!
Highlights or lowlights are an easy and eye-catching way to style a stacked bob, especially on dark hair. Experiment with different hues of blonde to find what works for your bob!
Layered Bob
The layered bob is famous for most face shapes and hair types. This haircut utilizes long and short layers, creating an elongating silhouette while adding volume. Longer layers sit just beneath the chin, with shorter ones above it. This chic style finishes off beautifully with soft curls for an irresistibly stylish finish.
This angled layered bob features a deep side part and side-swept bangs that perfectly complement round or heart faces. It is ideal for fine or thin hair types that add texture and volume. This youthful cut can also be easily styled using paddle brushes for sleek effects or round brushes for a volume boost. Furthermore, its versatile color options, such as black or pink, add character, while its easy styling makes this cut very suitable.
Queen Latifah’s Mid-Length Cut
Queen Latifah exuded elegance at Variety’s Power of Women New York event in November 2003. Her hair was styled into an elegant layered cut, featuring longer pieces lightly flicked up for a sleek finish that perfectly complemented her slimmer chin and defined cheekbones.
Queen Latifah used an innovative hair color combination – dark roots with blonde tips – in her shag cut to achieve natural brunette highlights combined with light blonde locks without completely re-dying your entire head. This shade of shadow root works exceptionally well for women with medium to dark brown skin tones.
If you have a round face, adding a side-swept bang will help soften its look while giving more volume as it naturally falls. It can also work well as an everyday or formal style and will match most outfits!
