This is a beautiful short A-line wavy bob cut. Short bobs are popular when styled into loose waves, giving it a stylishly messy appearance.

A textured, short, and wavy layered bob has the right combination of messy and alluring, and the hairstyle doesn’t look overly done.

A wavy short bob with blonde highlights and curtain bangs is for women with round or wide faces because it hides the sides of the face creating the illusion it’s narrower.
