FAIR HAIR

Straight Bangs Bob

This edgy cut will make you feel like a red-carpet celebrity. Full front bangs that curve at the base highlight your cheekbones and give you a celebrity look. Do you have a longer forehead? This style balances the length of the face with its bangs. This stunning style is a must-have for any woman with serious hair goals. We don’t know what else will do to awaken the Hollywood diva within you.

Blunt Bob

Are you feeling a little too bold? This bold haircut will make you the center of attention in any room. This blunt bob style is a perfect combination of sophistication and edginess. This bob haircut is perfect for women with heart-shaped faces. It will highlight the cheekbones and jawline. A sleek, straight-haired bombshell with long, slicked-back hair.

Inverted Bob

Inverted bob is serious business. The bob has a long front that reaches the back, and an exposed nape. Problems with a short face? Inverted bobs draw the eyes down to the shoulder, making a face look longer. Are you blessed with thick hair? It’s your turn, take the plunge. This severe cut can be complemented with subtle ombre highlights to create a flattering look.

WAVY HAIR

Bob Asymmetrical

• The playful waves and side bangs blend with the wispy side bangs to create a relaxed and unstructured look that is both intimidating and approachable for the girl next door. This haircut is defined by its extreme edges and ragged layers. This asymmetrical haircut is great for softening faces with angular edges. You can let your natural waves do the talking and ditch the heat styling tools.

Side Fringe Lob

• Are you thinking of a bob but not sure if it is right for you? For a relaxed yet sophisticated look, combine a long layered haircut with side bangs. The flirty side-swept bangs add width and style to the face making it an attractive accent for those with long faces. To help maintain the swoop, you can train your side bangs with a bobby pin. You’d be hard-pressed finding someone who doesn’t like this lob haircut.

Bob the Graduated

• Graduated bob cuts will make you the girl-next door-charm. This cut lets your waves speak for themselves, creating a dreamy aura. Are you a thin hairstyle? The layers of stacked layers will give your hair volume. This haircut is great for square-faced women with a wider jaw. It will take attention off the jawline. Side braiding your hair can be a great way of changing up the style of this wavy haircut. Did we mention that this style is light-weight?

FOR CURLY HAIR

Shaggy Bob

• This jaw-skimmer doesn’t require any neat styling. Shaggy hair is best when it’s easier and less controlled. This style isn’t as difficult to style than other styles. Shaggy bobs add dimension to your cheeks and make your face look slimmer.

All Layer Bob

• For all the non-committal women out there, get away with the ‘I-just-woke-up-from-bed’ excuse yet look gorg with this shoulder-flirting hairstyle. To add volume and movement, the layer bob with tousled layers is made with shattered layers. For a more voluminous look, switch sides of your hair. Your natural curls should speak for themselves, while your straightener can let you know that you are taking a break.

Pixie Bob

• Talk about volume! We envy fine-haired girls. If you’re a true tomboy, this cut is short on the sides and back. It’s a little longer at the top. This cool cut is perfect for hot summer days and exudes hipster style. This haircut creates the illusion of a defined cheekbone without making women look shameless.
