#1: Stacked Ear-Length Cut with Feathered Layers
A stacked cut with feathered layers will be short in the back and angle down toward the face. To get the best appearance and most volume in an ear-length stacked bob, your stylist may want to use a razor to cut the layers. This will give your layers a feathered look and keep your cut from becoming bulky.

#2: Short Messy Curly Bob
If your hair is naturally curly, a short, messy curly bob would be a perfect look that’s easy to style. Choosing an ear-length curly bob will make your curls more bouncy. However, bear in mind that you will not be able to pull your hair up at this length. Your curls will benefit from the freedom this hairstyle provides.

#3: Side-Swept Very Short Wavy Bob
Try a side-swept, very short, wavy bob. You can achieve this look with your hair, whether naturally wavy or straight. You can also create waves manually. The side-swept bang gives the cut a sophisticated yet modern finish. When styling your curls, use a soft molding cream. This will also ensure your waves remain free from frizz.

#4: Blunt Ear-Length Cut with Choppy Fringe
A blunt ear-length cut with a choppy fringe is perfect for women looking for a modern hairstyle. The choppy fringe adds texture and movement. This haircut works well for those with straight or slightly wavy hair. To style, you can start with clean and dry hair and use a flat iron when you want to create a sleek and polished finish. Apply a small amount of hair serum to the ends to tame any flyaways and add shine. With this cut, you’ll have a low-maintenance yet stylish look perfect for work and play.

#5: Icy Asymmetric Bob Cut
An icy asymmetric bob is an exciting way to spice up your traditional hair style. If you have natural white hair, using a violet shampoo is important to keep the brassiness at bay. I recommend the Aveda Blonde Revival Purple Toning Shampoo. The best way to achieve a sharp angle is by adding weight to the nape of the neck. Doing a graduated bob will give you the volume and height you need.

If you’re feeling bold, ask for a pop of color to the bangs to make them stand out. With the right styling products, this cut can easily transition from day to night.

#9: Sweeping Fringe on Short Layered Bob
The best way to add lift to your features with a cut is to have a sweeping length from your cheekbone and ear. Ask your stylist to give you an ear-length layered bob with bangs for an illusion of a longer face with an added youthful, yet still classy, look. You could add texture with a light curl to give your hair some extra bounce and personality. Adding highlights can also frame your face for a more modern, semi-casual style.
