An A-line bob haircut is when your hair is shorter in the back and gradually gets longer towards the front. The angle of the cut typically starts from the back of the neck and works its way straight down between the chin and the shoulders. It works for most face shapes and hair types. It will often frame the face to draw attention to the best facial features. A-line cuts are versatile and can have many variations, such as adding layers, stacking it, etc… Below, I’ve compiled some pictures of the best A-line bob haircuts of the year. Get ready to be inspired with one of these super chic looks!

This A-Line bob is an absolute knockout for those looking for a fresh, youthful edge. The full fringe brings attention to the eyes, suitable for an oval-shaped face like this lovely lady’s. Now, the color is where the fun really starts. We transition from a darker root to a rich burgundy, giving the illusion of density and volume—great for anyone with straight hair like hers, wanting that plush look.
#5 Soft Contrast A-Line Bob
This A-line bob with soft contrast highlights offers a refreshing twist on the traditional cut, adding subtle depth to your natural color. It’s perfect for an oval face, as the cut softly frames and accentuates the cheekbones, giving an elongating effect. This cut is a fantastic option for those in their prime, adding a youthful yet sophisticated touch. Straight to wavy hair types will find this style effortlessly chic, and its medium length is versatile for styling. The layering technique used here ensures the hair falls naturally into place, minimizing styling time. Note that while the cut is low on upkeep, the highlights will require occasional salon visits to keep them looking fresh.
#6 Deep Dimension Tousled Bob
Embrace a chic and effortless style with this tousled bob. The cut’s longer front pieces gently contour any face shape, while the deep, dimensional color adds a touch of mystery and sophistication, suitable for a young, fashion-forward individual. It’s a fantastic choice for those with naturally wavy or straight hair seeking a low-maintenance, yet trendy look. While the tousled texture implies a carefree spirit, a touch of texturizing spray can enhance the movement, making it ideal for medium to thick hair types. To keep the color this vibrant, a color-protecting shampoo and occasional salon refresh are recommended.
#7 Sleek A-Line Bob with Blended Highlights
Opt for this sleek A-line bob to flatter your round face, designed to elongate and slim your profile gracefully. Ideal for women in their late 20s or early 30s, the haircut offers a contemporary and stylish look without demanding high maintenance. The expertly blended highlights add a subtle contrast, perfect for those with straight, medium to thick hair looking for a dimensional and lively appearance. While the cut is easy to manage, maintaining the seamless blend of highlights may require occasional salon visits. The polished finish, achieved with a straightening iron and some light-hold styling product, will keep you looking effortlessly chic from day to night.
#8 Harmonious Hues A-Line Bob
This A-line bob is a marriage of color and cut, with harmonious hues that enhance its rounded silhouette—a chic choice for those with heart-shaped faces looking to balance the prominence of the chin. In your 20s and want to exude grace with minimal effort? This hairstyle’s even length and natural tones are your answer. The medium density of the hair makes it lay smooth and requires little more than a quick brush to style. It’s worth noting that the warmth of these tones might need occasional salon visits to maintain their vibrancy and prevent fading. The seamless graduation allows for easy grow-out, making it suitable for the busy young professional.
#9 Glossy Volume Rounded Bob
This glossy, voluminous rounded bob is the epitome of style meets substance for those seeking a maintenance-friendly yet fashionable look. The multi-tonal browns add richness and the illusion of depth, making it ideal for fine hair that needs a boost. This silhouette, paired with its high-gloss finish, is particularly flattering for someone with a slender neck, as it enhances the graceful lines of the jaw and collarbone. Despite its structured appearance, the bob is surprisingly manageable—regular salon visits will keep the shape intact and the color vibrant. However, achieving this level of sheen at home may require the use of specific shine-enhancing products.
#10 Sun-Kissed Blunt A-Line Bob
This sun-kissed bob combines precision cutting with the artistry of color. The blunt ends give a contemporary edge, perfect for those with straight, medium-density hair seeking a low-maintenance yet stylish look. Ideal for a square or angular face shape, this cut softens and balances strong features. The natural blonde balayage technique adds depth and dimension, replicating the gradual lightening of hair in the sun. While this cut is straightforward to style, consider the commitment to color upkeep, as roots will require regular touch-ups to maintain the seamless blend.
#11 Deep Purple Sheen on Classic A-Line Bob
Let’s talk about this striking A-line bob that’s all the rage this year. What makes it a gem is the deep purple hue that gives you an adventurous yet manageable day-to-day style. Now, if you’re considering this, let’s consider the straight, smooth texture of your hair because that’s what really makes the angle and the color pop. You’ve got that right blend of edginess without being over the top. It’s sleek, neat, and the angle offers a face-framing quality that could work for various face shapes.
#12 Electrifying Cobalt A-Line Bob
This cobalt blue bob is a true statement piece for anyone eager to stand out. The rich, vibrant hue enhances the precision of the cut, providing a striking contrast with the model’s fair skin tone. Suited for the daring, this look requires commitment to color upkeep and works best on straight, fine to medium-density hair to maintain the sharpness of the line. While ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces, the chin-length front can flatter many face shapes. Remember, vibrant colors like this can fade quickly, so be prepared for regular salon visits to keep it electrifying!
#13 Chic Precision A-Line Bob for Mid-Length Hair
The chic precision of this mid-length A-Line bob is tailored to complement an oval face shape, as seen here.

A meticulous blow-dry using a round brush will accentuate the sleekness, while a serum or light hair oil can enhance shine.
#14 Futuristic A-Line Bob with Blunt Bangs
I love all bobs! My favorite thing about this precision A-line bob with bangs is the crisp, dramatic angle. Many current bobs have a little less angle and are more shattered at the bottom. We drew our inspiration from a few futuristic films and anime characters. I love how the length in the back hugs her head and creates that beautiful shape that connects with her jawline.
#15 Stunning Black A-Line with Teal Highlights

The chop adds some edginess to the classic bob, and the teal highlights add a pop of color that beautifully contrasts with the black base. This hairstyle yields better results on straight or slightly wavy hair types. This hair texture amplifies the sharp lines of the cut. Find a hairstylist experienced in handling vivid colors to ensure your hair color remains vibrant for a long time.
#16 The Perfect A-Line for Thick Black Hair
This hairstyle is great for thick black hair. The sleek bob suits the thick and natural texture of hair, making it look stylish and polished. This haircut is ideal for those wanting a new look that adds structure and shape to thick hair. The cut has long layers in front and shorter layers at the back. It frames the face well. Use a smoothing cream or serum on damp hair to enhance sleekness. Then, blow-dry it straight. Apply a few drops of hair oil as a final touch for added shine. Now you’re ready for the day!
#17 Alluring A-Line Cut
The A-line cut is a hairstyle that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression. This stylish haircut features longer front strands that gradually taper towards the back. This creates a flattering and eye-catching silhouette. Be aware that this cut beautifully enhances facial features. Its versatility allows for easy styling. You can choose to wear it straight, wavy, or textured.
#18 A-Line Slob Cut

Try this sleek A-line slob hairstyle at your next haircut appointment. Be sure to ask about maintenance and the best at-home styling products.
#20 Naturally Curly A-Line Bob for Dark Skin
This is the classic 2C to 3A. It defines the length of the hair. I used a mousse memorizer for curls, a cream activator, and gel for curly hair. After drying on the diffuser, I applied a light finishing oil to the hair.
#21 Bob Cut + Pixie Cut Combo for Ladies Over 60
This short, layered hairstyle is perfect for mature women looking for a chic and low-maintenance cut. The combination of a pixie and bob cut creates volume at the crown while keeping the sides and back neatly tapered. Ideal for fine to medium hair density, this style enhances natural texture and adds a youthful lift. However, it requires regular trims to maintain its shape and can be styled easily with a light mousse or volumizing spray.
#22 Salt and Pepper A-Line Cut
Growing old hair color can be challenging and requires a big haircut. Try a salt and pepper cut to eliminate old colors and gain a new chic hairstyle. If you need to, you can recreate this same A-line shape on a shorter cut to fit your specific needs. Adding a bit of an undercut can help add lift and extra volume to the crown.
#23 Edgy Texture A-Line Bob
Check out the texture in this hairstyle. It takes what would normally be considered a classic shape and reinvents it for a more modern, edgy look. This red bob cut for girls can be altered to various angles and lengths to make it suitable for anyone, but it works especially well on those who have a lot of fine hair because you can add so many layers and tons of texture to it without losing the shape of the line.
#24 Strikingly Layered A-Line Bob
A-lines can look more dramatic on straight hair. This cool cut is best for faces needing some elongating effect, like a short round face.
#25 Stylish Short A-line Bob
One idea for a short A-line bob is to paint it with a dark shade that accentuates the layers. Regularly visiting your stylist is much needed if you want to maintain this high upkeep yet super trendy and modern bob.
#26 Trendiest A-Line Bob
This perfectly sleek, hand-painted A-line bob is one of the year’s hottest looks.
#27 The Dreamiest Lengthy A-Line Bob
The best thing about this long A-line bob is its sleekness and dark brown color. There is a lot to consider when deciding to go with this style – texture, thickness, and time willing to spend styling it. So remember to ask your stylist about maintenance.
#28 Chic A-Line Bob
This is a natural, balayaged lob. My favorite thing about it is the natural, effortless look yet super stylish, plus it’s very versatile. Curly, straight, and wavy textures can wear this look. It can remove bulk from heavy hair and make it appear lighter or add fullness to finer hair. Ideally, hair with mild texture would be preferable to add volume and less maintenance. This is a great hairstyle for a girl on the go! The haircut itself is already very stylish without having to style too much.
#29 Sassy Purple A-Line Bob for Thin Hair
This look is classy with some sass thrown in. This bob is fun and short, but the face-framing aspect makes it universally flattering! Short hair can still be face-framing! I recommend this style to anyone who wants a sleek, put-together look that’s easy to maintain. It’s ideal if you have thin hair and would like to add some volume and fullness or if you have thick, bulky hair and want to take some weight out.
#30 Bouncy Bob Cut in An A-Line
The weight of this cut is at the bottom, so there’s a slight bounce. To maintain this bob, you need a smoothing shampoo and conditioner to combat frizz, a leave-in conditioning cream or spray, a round brush, and a finishing oil mixed with a little pomade cream to help polish the look.
#31 Fresh A-Line Bob
This is a very practical and wearable haircut. Texture brings this haircut to the max and steers clear of the “helmet” hair. Put a lightweight spray oil on the hair while wet to protect it from heat and frizz. Try Agadir Argan oil. Paddle brush the hair until it is 85% dry, then use a large round brush until fully dry. Next, straighten the ends to show off the pieciness and texture.
#32 Beachy Wavy A-Line Bob Cut
This look is a textured A-line bob. The color is a dark brown to plum-violet balayage, and the beach wavy curls are fun and sassy. It’s a great length because it’s short enough to have a quick blow-dry but still long enough to throw into a quick ponytail and get it out of your face when needed.
#33: Softly Textured A Line Bob
I call this a softly textured bob. What I love the most about it is the texture and how it creates subtle movement, a fuller appearance, and versatility in the style. I recommend a dry shampoo at the roots and a texture spray for the ends. Use a 1 1/2-inch curling iron if beach waves are desired.
#34: Sleek A-Line Bob
Opt for a sleek bob with movement just at the bottom and cut a dramatic edge. The soft balayage highlights add dimension to the haircut. The sleek finish of this bob and how nicely the colors melt together give it a natural, seamless finish.
#35: Purple Rooted A-Line Long Bob
Consider a purple-rooted blonde with a soft A-line cut. It’s not your typical splash of color. An A-line is one of the most versatile cuts. Consider a shorter style (jaw or shorter) for heart-shaped and oblong-shaped faces.
#36: Minimal Graduation A Line Bob
This bob has a soft and subtle A-line with minimal graduation that gives the illusion of narrowing the jaw area, lengthening the neck, and emphasizing the décolletage. My favorite thing about this haircut is its simplicity. While being technically challenging, the result is very classic and timeless. This bob is always in style! The cut is perfect for fine hair because it leaves the hair feeling soft while providing shape memory. They have a cream formula with the same benefits for coarse hair types, making this look achievable for various hair types.
#37 Sleek and Modern A-Line Bob
Opt for an A-line bob that’s smooth, sleek, and modern. You can switch up your look with beach waves or curls, so it’s versatile. Use Bumble and Bumble Hair Dressers Oil Primer and Bumble and Bumble Straight to style.
#38 Short A-Line Haircut With Undercut
This short A-line bob with an undercut is perfect for adding structure and ease to thick, straight hair. The dramatic graduation creates a bold angle, elongating the face while maintaining volume at the crown. The undercut removes bulk, making styling a breeze—great for those wanting a polished yet low-maintenance look. However, regular trims are essential to keep the sharp lines intact. Ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces looking for a sleek, modern style.
#39 Classy and Professional A-Line Lob
This bob is classy but a little different. It’s slightly edgier than the typical “older lady” style, but nothing crazy. It’s classy and professional, as she does work at an elementary school. It’s manageable, not too high maintenance, and is just a nice and sleek style.
#40 A-Line Bob With Feminine Edges
This look is a precision A-line bob with soft, feminine edges. It’s a clean and classic style with a casual, modern twist. My favorite thing about this bob is that it is effortless and works great regardless of your style. The bob is so versatile and works for almost anyone! This is great for anyone on the go.
#41 Ageless A-Line Bob for Women Over 50
This is one of my favorite hairstyles because it looks good on all ages and can be adjusted to different lengths to accentuate features. It is very easy to style at home, not just when you leave the salon.
#42 Tapered A-Line with Red Hair
This tapered A-line bob is layered slightly on top for volume. My favorite thing about this cut is how easy it is to maintain and style, whether you have curly or straight hair. Also, adding a pop of color gives this cut more dimension and detail.
#43 Horizontal Graduated A-Line with Bangs
This is a horizontal graduated A-line bob with point-cut ends. I call it my “French Girl Bob.” It offers height in the crown area, and lifting it off the shoulders doesn’t kick/flip up. The weight left in gives maximum movement and body. The fringe is optional.
#44 Bob Cut In A-Line Shape
A bob cut in A-line shape is a shorter haircut in the back and tapers off to longer, feathery, face-framing layers. Ladies should be brave enough to try on haircuts that they want.
#45 Candy-Inspired Bob
This A-line bob is a true showstopper with its playful, candy-like pastel highlights in shades of purple, blue, and soft pink, creating a vibrant and artistic finish. The extreme angle of the cut enhances volume at the back while elongating the face with the longer front layers. It’s ideal for fine to medium-density hair that’s straight or lightly textured. Keep in mind that maintaining this bold color palette requires frequent touch-ups and a color-safe shampoo.
#46 Sheared A-Line
This look is a simple and subtle haircut achieved with shears per my client’s request. I normally love doing this cut with a razor for a little more shattered look. I feel this type of cut accentuates the jawline and gives a sexier edge to a bob.
#47 Fun and Fierce
I would describe this look as fun and fierce! The color is soft enough for a diverse look to wear with business attire, a casual event, or a night out. My favorite thing about this bob would have to be the cut. It’s short with lots of texture to add a weightless curl/wave, and you can also wear it pin-straight.
#48 Textured A-Line Bob Haircut
I did this lob (or long bob) haircut for my most soulful client. After a thorough consultation, we decided on a textured lob with a heavy perimeter. I love how the weight of her hair is showcased through the movement that just enough texturizing is provided.
#49 Medium A-Line Bob
This bob is very versatile and can be worn in many different ways! My favorite thing about this cut is that it is still lengthy toward the face. This style is great for women living a busy and active lifestyle while wanting to remain on trend! It’s great for any hair texture thick or thin, curly or straight. This look is so versatile that you can adjust the length to fit any face shape!
#50 Extreme Angled Graduated Bob
This look is a more extremely angled textured graduated bob. It complements most face shapes, and the angle brings style to your look. This haircut is wonderful for fine hair of medium thickness because it is quick to dry and style. It will take more time to dry and flat iron for thick, coarse, or curly hair.
