No matter which style you select – be it pixie cuts or layered bobs – they all make styling simple while looking fantastic with added color accents. Also, they represent freedom and self-assurance – so if you need some motivation before making the big cut, check out these photos of actual short hair styles for inspiration.
Choppy Bob with Bangs
A choppy bob with bangs is feminine, classy, and versatile – adding texture and dimension while complementing any facial structure. Low maintenance requirements make this style incredibly flattering on medium hair colors. If you’re new to choppy bobs, start small. Too many layers can appear unruly and require lots of maintenance, so ask your stylist to cut a few shorter, shaggier layers that create this look and see how it turns out. A textured choppy bob can give thin hair the appearance of being fuller while simultaneously lightening thick locks. This style works beautifully on curly and wavy locks, but mainly stands out when worn with a deep side part and blonde balayage highlights. Plus, it looks adorable when done up in Barbie pink!
Messy Shaggy Bob
This messy bob hairstyle for short hair features disconnected ends that create an undone, undisturbed appearance, making it one of the best messy bob styles to achieve in short hair. Super stylish, it adds a chic element that makes you appear sophisticated and attractive. Medium shaggy bobs are versatile enough for use at various types of events. From casual activities and beach days to curling them into beachy waves and styling them to look chic – medium shaggy bobs offer ample styling possibilities and should always look their best! If you are searching for an updated take on styling your bob, try creating a side-swept messy lob with bangs. This look works with all face shapes and can easily be made; it only requires using texturizing pomade to form piecey waves throughout.
Blonde Layered Bob
A layered blonde bob is the ideal canvas to experiment with texture. You can use it to craft various styles ranging from smooth and sleek to messy and tousled and add different hues of blonde or brown for additional customization. For instance, this chin-length blonde layered bob featuring face-framing layers and brown balayage highlights that give a warm and three-dimensional finish. Another stunning layered blonde bob hairstyle is this long-angled one with dark roots and subtle highlights. Perfect for bottle blondes who wish to reduce the frequency of root touchups, the dark roots add dimension and make strands appear fuller and healthier; furthermore, longer face-framing layers work to slenderize frames further still. This long angled bob is also great for women with round faces, as longer face-framing layers help further elongate structures.
Short Layered Bob with Bangs
A layered bob with bangs can help cover up a high forehead or emphasize cheekbones for those seeking a more feminine and youthful appearance. A messy wavy bob with bangs works particularly well if your hair is thin, adding texture without making the style too heavy; to achieve this style, use texturizing paste for volume to achieve an uneven and tousled effect. Short layered bobs with thick bangs are an elegant yet edgy for ladies looking for an eye-catching style. This chin-length bob looks beautiful when enhanced with caramel balayage for dimension and fuller locks. A layered bob is versatile enough to look stunning when worn straight or wavy, such as this gorgeous blonde one with wispy bangs – another excellent example of versatility!
Short Straight Layered Bob
Opt for a classic layered bob if you prefer something smooth and straightforward. Side-swept bangs and an undercut create an eye-catching style, perfect for women with roundish faces looking to add definition to their slim frames. With its superficial layers and elegant silhouette, a simple layered bob can become highly fashionable when styled to showcase either rich hair color or subtle highlights. Take this sexy bob as an example: its dual ombre and balayage highlights create an eye-catching effect! A chin-length blunt-angled bob is entirely modern in this dark blonde shade. A little texture spray or sea salt helps maintain sleekness for daily wear, while random front fringes add casual style to this short, trendy bob.
