#1: Straight Chin-Length Blunt Bob
For the reserved woman, get into a straight chin-length blunt bob. A blunt bob above the shoulders has no layers and has a very “straight to the point” vibe. This is an excellent style choice for women with less naturally voluminous hair and only requires a simple flatiron to maintain.

#2: Cute Bob Cut with Ombre Coloring
An above-the-shoulder cute bob cut with ombre coloring is a stunning choice for a chic and trendy hairstyle. The length of the bob accentuates the shoulders and frames the face beautifully. The ombre coloring adds depth and dimension to the overall look, gradually transitioning from a darker shade at the roots to a lighter shade towards the ends. This style works well for women who want to embrace a shorter haircut while still maintaining a feminine and chic appearance. The hairstyle is versatile and can be styled in various ways, from sleek and polished to tousled and textured. Use a shine spray during styling for a polished finish!

I suggest trying an above-the-shoulder, shaggy lob if you want a fresh new haircut and have thin hair. This look adds texture and dimension to thin hair, creating the illusion of fuller locks. It’s a versatile cut that works well for casual and professional settings. To style, I recommend using a volumizing mousse on damp hair. Then, blow-dry with a round brush to create a soft, bouncy effect. Another tip is using a texturizing spray to add texture and define the layers.

#11: Above-the-Shoulder Bob with Volume
Consider an above-the-shoulder bob with volume. If you tend to have medium thick hair, you’ll want to create softness and volume to the hair. Ask for a blunt textured bob to create movement and fullness. Style with a Oway Volumizing Root Spray. Use a round brush or curling iron to create movement with the hair going in different directions. I suggest giving the hair a bend away from the face with a round brush to soften and finish the style.

#12: Amazing Brunette Bob with a Middle Part and No Bangs
The length of an above-the-shoulder cut keeps your locks from being too heavy. It’s the best for fine hair, and the lack of bangs allows versatility for all face shapes. I recommend using a soft mousse to create hold and definition for styling. You can use a round brush to smooth out the ends when blow drying. Use a curling wand to create loose curls throughout the hair for added texture. Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep it in place. This look is the perfect balance between sophistication and ease of maintenance.

#13: Neck-Length Soft and Modern Blunt Cut Bob
A modern blunt bob with a soft neck-length perimeter is always trending. I suggest going over your face shape with your stylist if this bob is something you desire. This will help you decide where the length should lay to complement your features. Bringing in a few photos of what you like and don’t like about bobs is helpful. This will help show your stylist your vision and execute your style on the first try.

#14: Short Choppy Bangs on a Cute Bob Cut
Looking for a way to spice up your boring bob? Try these short choppy bangs on a cute bob cut! My favorite way to get this amount of texture is a straight razor haircut. Ask your stylist to use a razor to create effortless texture and movement. The perk of a razor cut is the ability to air dry your hair without lots of heat styling. Try to incorporate styles that enhance your natural waves, like a sea salt spray. One of my favorites is Hairstory’s Undressed Hair Texturizing Spray.

#15: Dark Red Tousled Waves
Consider doing dark red tousled waves to spice up your life. Keep in mind, a dark copper color looks best with olive, medium to dark skin tones. My best advice, if you are thinking about doing a red color is only shampoo your hair a couple of times a week. And, use a cooler water temperature when shampooing. Red hair color tends to fade the quickest, so by taking this advice, it will help to keep your color bright and rich.

#16: Layered Choppy Bob Without Bangs
There is a bob for everyone and I recommend you try them all before deciding on which one works for you. A layered choppy bob may look better without bangs, but how could you ever know without trying? If you have straight to wavy hair you will find ease when styling it with heat or going heatless. The key is in your styling aids. Kristen Ess has a few budget-friendly options when building up your styling wardrobe.
