Letting go of your signature look isn’t easy. If you’re looking to update your bob without going the whole nine yards, adding side bangs is a great option.
What really kicked off my interest in side swept bobs was a client of mine. She brought a box of Polaroids of her mother in the late 1970s and there were all sorts of soft bobs with one side swept bangs. She didn’t want to look like she was in a costume. That stuck with me, because good side bangs do reference an era. They are not too much and they can be worn with every type of hair and every face shape. That is why I will always be a side bang advocate.
**Before you scroll through them all, I want you to know that for this haircut, the position of your side part is more important than anything else, even length, layers, and color.** If you have a strong jaw, longer bangs will soften it. But with a deep side part and a slight undercut on the heavier side, you’ll achieve movement that no product can match. Clients keep coming back for bob cuts after three months because they’re so low maintenance, and the most flattering ones have a few internal layers to reduce bulk and clean up the outline. For me, it’s pretty obvious how this will go; you will look through these and come in with ideas, and that’s where the conversation happens and all the good stuff.
#1: Warm Copper Chin-Length Bob with a Soft Side Sweep
The shimmer is exactly as pictured and is even more stunning in person! (Rare, I know). The copper is also not that trendy neon penny look that fades and looks bad after a couple of weeks. This bob looks so effortless; the cut really does make it look like she didn’t try too hard. The cut sticks to the chin with just the right amount of layering to allow the bangs to move freely without looking stiff. With hair of this medium density, it falls just right, and styling is minimal. I will say the color will warm up over time, so you may want to have a toning shampoo on hand, but for the cut it really is as low maintenance as it comes.
#2: Ash-Beige Angled Bob with a Feathered Diagonal Fringe
The cut is amazing overall especially the point cut fringe across the forehead and the softness of the cut. Not too heavy or dated. The internal stacking is great because it provides lift and intention through the rest of the cut. Especially at the crown since the rest is fine and medium straight. The weave of ash beige balayage and low lights is smart because they create the illusion of thickness. There is one side longer piece that is lower and I like that for gentle asymmetry. A round brush blow out or a flat iron pass is a must for the diagonal fringe and the ash tone will need to be toned every few weeks.
#3: Sharp Asymmetric Pixie-Bob with a Long Diagonal Sweep
Thank you for being patient! I totally understand how the details in the cut are really pronounced, especially how the razor-thin ends contrast with the long diagonal sweeping layers in the front. I feel like this type of design takes a bold statement from both the wearer and the cutter. This is because with architectural designs, especially at the temples, they need to be precise and accurate because if they’re not, it can look really messy. The internal layers will help to keep the crown flat and sleek and will control the appearance of a cowlick. I would say that a light smoothing serum should help, along with a quick run through with a flat iron, but if you’re looking for something that you don’t have to style every day, then you’re probably not looking for that. Once styled, you are right, there’s really nothing else like it!
#4: Shoulder-Length Wavy Lob with a Deep Diagonal Side Sweep
I’d call this cut a workhorse and that’s a huge compliment because it looks amazing on day one and just as good on day four when you haven’t done anything to it. The deep diagonal sweep brings a nice touch of drama to the cut, and the interior graduation with some point cutting takes out just the right amount so that the natural waves can do their thing without being too heavy on the ends. Most people underestimate the balayage face frames and soft root shadow and the way that sort of color grows out. If you have natural waves and fine to medium hair, you can just apply some styling cream to your damp hair, and diffuse it.
#5: Chin-Grazing Bob with Feathered Side Bang and Soft Interior Layers
It seems like the first thing that grabs my attention are those soft feathery bangs and how they blend so well into the rest of the hair. There is no hard contrast between where the bangs end and where the bob begins. I agree that the internal layers do the most in getting the ends weighted and full and that they removed just the right amount of bulk, which is what medium thick hair that pushes out needs. I also love that beautiful soft silver thread on the side. The soft inward turn gives it a polished look without being too stiff. I would not recommend this for tighter curls because the whole shape relies on a specific smoothness, but for straight to slightly wavy hair it is one of those haircuts that makes getting ready in the morning easy.
#6: Glossy Jet-Black Chin-Grazing Bob with a Diagonal Side Bang
This looks so shiny! The deep black color and internal gradation at the nape create such an uncuffed glass effect. The definition and structure the cut gives around the jawline on fine and medium hair textures is something a longer style can’t offer. With the diagonal bang it’s softened enough to not look too harsh. The perimeter has to be cut really perfectly because with any blunt bob this dark, any unevenness shows a lot more than with lighter bobs. I see a cowlick in the right front that may push the fringe out, and that is exactly the kind of thing your stylist needs to factor in when cutting at that angle because otherwise you’ll be doing a lot of adjusting to it every morning.
#7: Dark Brunette Rounded Bob with a Deep Side Sweep and Hidden Graduation
This bob may seem simple, however, it has thoughtful construction elements. For example, internal hidden graduations offer a crown lift which presents very natural volume and a supple appearance. The side part is full and generous enough to be likened to a curtain parting to show the face and has great weight to it on medium to high density hair. To achieve the smooth inner flicks at the ends of the hair, a round brush blow dry will be necessary. On fine hair you may need to adjust the weight a bit. There is a cute little micro-flip at the nape which creates an ease on one side when the hair is tucked behind the ear and I think that’s what makes this whole look very effortless.
#8: Chestnut Chin-Length Bob with Lifted Crown and Short Side Bangs
The round shape of this particular cut is achieved with internal graduation and point cut texture. The ends having a delicate soft and outward and inward flipping is \”vintage warmth\” which I love. The short side bangs are important because they open up the face in a way that longer bangs just don’t , and the ear tuck provides a nice casual asymmetry that stops it from looking too done. For hair with a little wave and medium density, the shape holds beautifully after a quick round brushing in the morning or just a little mousse. For finer hair, though, the crown might settle too flat by the afternoon unless you add some lowlights to create visual depth and texture.
#9: Platinum Rounded Bob with a Deep Side Sweep
Reaching near platinum for your hair is a decision that should be carefully considered. Yes, it entails a lot of damage to the hair strands, but if it’s done well, as in this case, it’s totally worth it. The low root smudge combined with the bond building treatments do wonders here. The result is phenomenal. The shape is nice as well. The rounded shape with the deep side sweep looks good from the front. It gives the hair nice definition. It looks great! The slight internal gradation allows for movement to be maintained throughout the crown. The color is super high maintenance, and the person getting this new color has to be aware that it is going to take a lot of time and effort to keep the color. Regular glossing and toning will be needed in order to keep the hair from becoming brassy. The light color is going to be a ton of work to upkeep, and people getting this color have to understand that they are signing up for a big commitment.
#10: Blonde Textured Bob with Deep Side Part and Root Smudge
What a fantastic cut! The internal point-cutting and light razor cutting do such a good job of creating that piecy look that makes it so you can’t even tell if she just ran her fingers through her hair. Although it looks really effortless, we all know it’s super difficult to make that sort of look purposeful! The root smudge that blends into the face-framing babylights is so subtle and perfect. It pulls just the right amount of attention and gorgeous, face-framing babylights gives a beautiful, natural, effortless look to the top of medium-fine wavy hair. While the overall vibe is super pretty, I do have a few comments. The thinner ends can start to look really sparse if you aren’t getting regular trims. To achieve this, you’re going to have to use a root-lift product. Also, it’s just the reality of blonde hair that ends with a gloss always looks better with a blonde finish. Overall, the wearability is really good and the vibe is super pretty!
#11: Voluminous Side-Parted Bob with a Vintage Inward Flip
It has that old Hollywood vibe that we really don’t see as much any more. The deep side part with the really dramatic flip is done with over-direction layered and internally graduated ends, and on thick wavy hair it gives the most amazing body that just never quits. It is super flattering for oval and heart-shaped faces. It lifts the crown and frames the face right at the cheekbone. All you need is a round brush blowout. If your hair is fine it might not get this much volume without having to add some more hair and there is a really pronounced cowlick at that part, which needs a specific cutting angle to control and you would have to flat iron that section every morning to reset it.
#12: Short Stacked Bob with a Long Side-Swept Fringe
The bold crown stacking gives an instant lift and rounded shape in the back which is an awesome profile booster. Longer side-swept bangs merge into the longer front pieces and frame the jaw nicely, plus this style helps conceal mild thinning at the temples naturally so you don’t look like you’re trying to hide anything. It’s a great shape keeper on medium to thick hair and the tapered nape adds an edgy look from every angle. An everyday round brush is a must to create volume so keep that in mind with the black as grey roots will be very obvious and plan your touch-up appointments accordingly.
#13: Polished Chin-Length Bob with Deep Side Sweep and Subtle Lift
I love the details on this bob! One thing is an internal graduation which gives some height to the crown so it doesn’t sit flat. This change takes it from casual to polished. The deep side sweep is anchored by what looks to be a natural left-temple cowlick, which works with the cut to define the part. On medium density hair and straight, this is a super elegant look that frames the face very freely. You will need a round-brush blowout, or a quick pass with the flat iron, to keep that smooth flip and if you have thick or curly hair you will need to add more layers or smoothing to achieve this look.
#14: Chin-Grazing Bob with Curtain Micro-Bangs and an Inward Flip
I completely understand how some people love micro bangs and others despise them, instead, soft bangs like this one, create a nice frame for your face and adds some thickness to your cheeks without the commitment. The ends having a slight turn in gives a clean finish and this length is very elongating on the face. This type of layering adds softness around the face and a root shadow that isn’t too dark creates nice fullness and movement. Mid density wavies will find styling with a round brush pretty effortless, the only thing to look out for is strong forehead cowlicks as the micro bangs will expose them all and with coarse hair, the shape can feel like it is fighting you.
#15: Chestnut Copper Angled Bob with a Long Diagonal Side Bang
Let’s first go over this color, as there’s a bunch to go over. This coat isn’t a flat, single-process chestnut. It has woven micro-lowlights so that it doesn’t go one-dimensional. The warm copper undertone also captures the light and makes the entire cut come alive. The interior graduation adds some crown volume without having to backcomb and tease. In my opinion, I prefer this because that stuff damages the hair over time. Also, the subtle inner bevel at the ends tucks under the jaw really nicely. The long diagonal bangs will need shaping daily, there’s no negotiating that. The warm copper color will show grow out pretty quickly, but the overall shape is great. The color and shape make it so that it air-dries beautifully and still looks like you put effort into it, even when you don’t do much to it.
#16: Warm Copper Collar-Length Bob with a Soft Side Curtain
This sits perfectly at chin to collarbone length! I think this is the most versatile spot for a bob because it gives you enough length to pull back if you need to but still looks like an intentional cut. The interior graduation at the crown adds a little bit of lift and those ends that are rounded out from a blowout look like they did the work but really give it movement and are effortless. The warm copper is beautiful but if I’m being honest with you, warm tones are the first to go brassy so you might want to consider color gloss in between appointments and possibly a soft root smudge to help it not be so stark as it grows. With fine to medium hair like this, the layers shouldn’t be too much to encourage movement.
#17: Graduated Chin-Length Bob with Side-Swept Fringe and Warm Copper Tone
The graduation in this cut gives you a really nice profile. You can see the fullness created from the stacked interior at the crown from the side. The point cut beveled ends curve in a way that cleanly frames the jaw. The long side swept fringe blends into the layers so seamlessly that it doesn’t look like a separate element. It looks like the hair wants to fall that way. The shape works with your natural texture if you have fine to medium wavy hair. You will need a round brush blowout or some texture spray to keep that curve in. Plan for toning because yes, the warm copper will drift toward brassy, that is what warm copper does.
#18: Softly Curled Chin-Length Bob with Full Side-Swept Bang and Pink Tint
This has to be one of my favorite color combinations. I think it works where others don’t for a couple of reasons. One, she’s ready to go all in on the maintenance needed for a vivid pink, so she has taste. Two, the cut is good and with color that adds fun to it instead of being the only thing people notice. The clean structured crown layering and point cutting at the ends create a nice visual S-bend in the layers. The pink adds fun but that gentle S-bend crown push is great and a full flat curtain creates a nice face frame for oval faces. Overall, the silhouette is beautiful and lively while not looking chaotic. The fact is a vivid semi-permanent pink over a lightened base is a serious commitment. Pre-lightening and regular toning is necessary to avoid patches and for fine hair those interior stacked layers are required or the cut would lose all of its shape. If you’re ready to put in the effort, the end result will be great.
#19: Collar-Length Feathered Bob with a Wispy Micro-Fringe
There is a purpose behind this multi-layered style; the lighter layers on top add volume, the nape graduation prevents the back from looking heavy, and the slight flip on the ends ties the whole look together. The micro-fringe is a bit of a statement, and with this level of density it looks soft and sparse, and draws the eye up. A deep blue-black with gloss is a gorgeous color, and it’s one that people will compliment without knowing why. For the flip, you’re going to need a round brush and some heat. The rich dark color will show regrowth, but the style wears so well; the cut is definitely worth it.
#20: Soft-Curved Chin-Length Bob with a Deep Side Curtain
I like that this cut works with the hair instead of against it. The hair on the lower left of the picture is a clockwise cowlick at the part and it is being used for lift instead of being a problem. The subtle internal graduation at the nape leaves body without adding weight. It is actually an air-dry style on medium-thick wavy hair, which sounds like a sales pitch, but it is true. The deep side curtain falls naturally. The curved shape holds because the weight distribution is correct. The only real issue you might have is humidity. Wavy hair of this density can frizz, and if your hair is finer, you’d need some light mousse and a diffuser to keep the volume from going flat by midday. This is one of the most wearable shapes from the collection.
#21: Chin-Length Bob with a Long Side Sweep and Babylight Detail
I really appreciate this construction.nThe blunt perimeter adds weight and definition and there’s a slight micro graduation at the nape that allows for great tucking under with a round brush blowout. The contrast of these two elements provides a wonderful balance of structure and softness. The long side sweep is great for cheekbone elevation and the root shadow that blends into babylights gives depth but no high maintenance color appointments are required. This shape is really easy to style and if you have fine to medium straight hair it will only take 10 minutes with a brush and blowdryer which is really hard to beat. If you have coarser curly texture you would need some smoothing to achieve this look and the blonde will require some upkeep so factor that into your decision.
#22 Tousled Brunette Waves with Soft Side-Swept Bangs
Creating this look is something I really enjoy as there is a looseness that feels real. Like the wearer actually *lives their life* instead of spending an hour on their hair every day. The soft side-swept bangs and tousled waves give texture and movement without the commitment of a full fringe. I appreciate this for clients who are ‘fringe-curious’ but don’t want to go all the way. The natural brunette shade has a nice rich depth that reflects light beautifully. The subtle layers around the face do more than they appear to. They open everything up, drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones. This is easy to maintain for medium to thick hair. Just a bit of wave spray and some hand tousling should do the trick. If your hair tends to be flat, you’ll want to style the waves a bit to keep them from going limp.
#23 Wavy Textured Bob with Soft Face-Framing Side Bangs
This bob is fun! I think it’s the balanced texture that makes it look that way. The waves being imperfect and side bangs being slightly loose creates an ease that’s more effortless. On finer hair, the layers give volume and dimension that you just wouldn’t get from a blunt cut, while side bangs soften the look around the face. They’re also flattering on oval and heart shapes as they don’t close anything off. With a length that’s medium, there’s plenty of options. Pushed back behind the ears, half clipped up, or just let it hang and it all looks good. You’ll want a bit of product to define the waves during the day- a lightweight one so it doesn’t weigh down fine hair. Overall, this cut will help get that ‘look’ and will feel amazing.
#24 Textured Short Bob with Playful Waves and Soft Side Bangs
I appreciate the waves in this cut, and the buoyancy is great. The light layers at the crown aren’t created with a bunch of product or a curling iron, but instead, intelligent cutting that lets the hair move freely. The warm brown tones also give a dimension that helps fine to medium density hair appear thicker and more interesting. The soft side bangs tie the whole shape in a way that is youthful, but not too much. I think this is particularly great for round or oval faces because the volume is at the right height, and the bangs draw attention to the ideal spots. The tradeoff with a cut this textured is that you will need to invest some time into the styling of the waves to keep them defined, but the result is worth the minimal effort.
#25 Dark Brown Blunt Bob with Soft Side Bangs
Here is a rewrite of your example that follows the guidelines:
A clean and neat bob looks best on medium density hair, and this one has its line sitting perfectly above the shoulders. The subtle side bangs provide the right amount of softness to the entire look, and oval and heart shaped faces benefit immensely as the bangs help in emphasizing the cheekbones. The dark brown color is a win as it requires no upkeep on the roots and it is basic dark bobs that require shine spray or light serum to keep the hair dark and glossy. This look is timeless and it is what most of my clients request when they walk into my salon. With this cut you will not have to do anything else to your hair to look neat.
#26 Curly Bob with Dynamic Side Bangs
Your natural curls can be tamed with this haircut, and I can say this with confidence because I watch too many people with curly hair and see them leaving the salon with cuts that only look good when the hair is straightened. The side bangs help add some movement and draw attention to the eyes, and with the layer structure, you will have volume and bounce without that crazy overwhelming mushroom shape that happens when curly bobs aren’t layered right. It’s really great for oval and heart face shapes because the longer length that is above the shoulders is perfect, as it does not crowd the neck, and the curls spring up without looking too short. The shape is bounty enough to reward you for the time invested to define those curls, so grab a good curl cream (and most likely a diffuser too), and good luck!
#27 Short Textured Bob with Effortless Side Bangs
This cut is right above the jawline, which is a spot that not many people think to ask for; it’s shorter than a standard bob but not quite a commitment as a pixie. On finer to medium hair the layers give it a fullness that just looks like you have really great hair. The soft side bangs frame everything nicely, and the natural waves give a relaxed elegance I really enjoy like, the person wearing this doesn’t try hard, but always looks great. Rather than color, the depth and dimension in the cut come from how the layers interact with the texture. So it actually looks better when it’s grown out a little. The regular styling to keep the texture is the price of admission, but it’s not a big ask.
#28 Softly Layered Bob with Breezy Side Bangs
This hairstyle is reminiscent of a carefree beach look. It captures the assisted-flowing style and natural waves of relaxed layers. Hanging light bangs just above the eyes, create a soft, gentle appearance. They work especially well for oval and heart face shapes as they help to frame the face, while not drawing too much attention to it. Length that falls above the shoulders is great for hot temperatures because it will keep you cool. It also provides versatility, while texture is key when hair is wavy and of medium density. To be blunt, this style is not ideal for people with very fine hair. More work will be required to prevent the layers from appearing too flat. A volumizing mousse at the roots, a bit of a scrunch, and a light touch of hairspray will work well. The focus of this style is definitely the waves.
#29 Modern Textured Bob with Subtle Side Bangs
While some hairstyles can be more adventurous, it is clear that this style takes even more consideration as standing out is obviously way easier than being subtle. The side bangs help to give a more complete look to the hair, while the layers add to the sense of lightness that helps to show off the texture of the hair. This length is great for those with fine and medium textured hair, as it helps to show off their natural texture. It works particularly well for the oval and heart face shapes, but I absolutely love to see this style on all face shapes because the balance is so beautiful. This style is great because while the bangs do require a bit more styling, the rest of the cut is quite low maintenance and that is part of the reason I recommend it to so many clients.
#30 Textured Silver Bob with Lively Side Bangs
This silver is incredible! I know how challenging it can be to get the right silver tone and I have seen plenty of attempts go wrong, but I can confidently say the person who did this nailed it. nnAs for the length of the bob, it is amazing! With the silky bangs, this is so stunning! The hair is not too fine, so the layering is just right because it adds so much volume while the textured ends remove some of the bulk and give a soft, gentle look. nnHonestly, I have to say keeping this silver-cool blonde is going to be a challenge. To keep the brassiness in check, you will need to get a bunch of salon visits, and you’ll need to use purple shampoo to get the right tone at home. So if you are looking for something low maintenance, this is not for you. For a modern beautiful color, the effort you put in will definitely be worth it!
#31 Rich Auburn Textured Bob with Flattering Side Bangs
The rich auburn highlights with lighter tones at the end allows this hair color to illuminate from within. The contrast provides dimensionality to varying levels of depth and brightness. Soft side bangs face framing bangs soften the features and help accent delicate features. Added waves enhance movement and create additional volume. A cut like this suits fine to medium hair density. The medium length is also ideal. Hair that is textured provides more style options particularly so the cut will look good when messy and especially so when freshly styled. This is indicative of a truly great haircut. The color of hair will require maintenance which is expected with shades of auburn as they tend to fade. The warmth from repeated upkeep will certainly make those appointments feel less like a task.
#32 Wavy Jaw-Length Bob with Soft Side Bangs
The cut’s design is so complimentary that it sits perfectly on the jawline. The layering adds texture and movement while the side bangs offer a youthful, effortless look. The length is great for oval and heart shaped faces as it highlights the jaw and chin without elongating the face. Surprisingly, the lower hair density here is a good thing, as the waves will be light, airy and less heavy. To be honest though, it’s going to take a bit of work to maintain those bouncy waves. That could mean a quick touch up with the curling iron, a braid and a shake out, or something similar. It’s a great shape and will be one of those styles that you love seeing every time you look in the mirror.
#33 Chestnut Bob with a Gentle Side Sweep
The sidesweep is an intriguing style. It follows the bone structure creating an appealing contoured look that is uncommon with sideswept bangs. These bangs seem more intentional than most and especially compliment square or angled faces. It adds a rounded softness to the harsher lines. The chestnut shade is a natural warm color that allows skin to glow with no makeup. When paired with fine straight hair of average density the sleek shape is ‘wash and wear.’ What I believe makes this cut unique is the fact it does a lot with little effort. It looks great and is clearly simple and unfussy. However, if your hair is very thick or naturally curly a lot of smoothing would be needed to maintain this silhouette.
#34 Layered Wavy Bob with Soft Delicate Fringe
Each layer of this haircut has been designed specifically for the client’s hair type and natural waves. For this particular style and type of hair it is a balancing act to get the right amount of hair. Too many layers and the waves won’t have enough weight to pull the hair down, but too few layers and the hair will feel heavy and have no shape to it. I think the soft fringe is beautiful, especially on oval and heart shaped faces as it adds a lovely feminine touch. This style will give you a feeling of a living, breathing style that will respond to your head movements. To be realistic, this style will need some upkeep as the natural waves can get a little messy. If you are prepared to spend a few minutes each day on this style, it will be worth it. With a little product and a diffuser it will create an intentional style that is structured.
#35 Chocolate Brown Bob with Feathered Side Bangs
A dark chocolate bob is always a true attention grabber. The combination of the haircut’s simplicity and the bob’s deep and rich color is so classy. The bangs are lightly feathered to soften the look and it still maintains the overall structure. The length does a good job of jawline definition and will suit oval and heart-shaped faces. I would recommend this to anyone looking to achieve a polished look five days a week and for a very reasonable time investment of under ten minutes. This style is truly a wash and go. The bangs will even help get through the awkward phase of growing out layers, and if you get a lot of flyaways then you might want to keep a little anti-frizz plan to defend against the harsh elements.
#36 Textured Bob with Playful Side Bangs
I appreciate that this style has an effortless look and you can see some texture that has been cut into the hair instead of made using heat tools, and the side bangs add softness that balances the shape nicely. With medium to thick hair the volume is naturally full without being overwhelming, and the slight wave gives it movement and reflects the light in different ways. The length that falls just above the shoulders is versatile enough for many different face shapes, which I like because not every cut has to be so tailored to who it works for. One thing to note is that for a tousled look, it does take some effort so that it doesn’t look messy, especially on humid days when texture can cross that line.
#37 Vibrant Copper Textured Bob with Side-Swept Bangs
I love that shade of copper! It’s stunning, and works so well for lighter skin tones. It’s warm and sophisticated instead of a Halloween costume. The side swept bangs also make it approachable. The chin length with layers is going to add the volume fine to medium textured hair always wants without having to style it a ton, and it’s really going to look different daily based on how you touch it. It’s great for oval and heart shapes, but with a round face, the chin volume might add width there too so you should talk to your stylist about that. The trade-off for such a bright color is maintenance, but with that cut, you won’t have to style it every day!
#38 Ash-Blonde Blunt Bob with Precise Side Bangs
The transformation cut has gone from longer, softer hair to something much sharper and more structured. With fine hair, the change is much more obvious, as a blunt chin-length bob makes the hair look so much fuller, whereas longer styles just don’t create that illusion. The softer, more youthful side-swept bangs combined with the structured nature of the cut really help highlight the cheekbones, which is a good thing because the cut is so well aligned with that specific face shape. For straight hair types, the cut is about as low-maintenance as it gets. You can get away with very little styling which is great, and the ashy blonde is a nice modern touch. If you have very curly hair, then this shape will likely require quite a lot of effort to keep it straight. So be honest with yourself about how much effort you’re willing to spend on this every single day.
#39 Soft Bob with Effortless Side Bangs
The hair cut shouldn’t look like a hair cut, it should look like good hair. This hair cut looks like good hair and has also soft bob and side bangs. The length is also easy to manage because it is above the small. I like the way the fine hair gives it an airy light quality. The side bangs nicely frame the face and keep everything in balance. This style also works for all shapes and sizes of the face because there is balance and also proportions. This style will require a lot of up keep. I recommend a trim every six weeks so it can look out grown and nice and fresh instead of just intentional. This style is low maintenance and will take care of itself a lot especially between trims.
#40 Chestnut Curls with a Side-Swept Fringe
I love this style because it’s a curl-forward cut, which means the entire design is made to work with the curls instead of against them, and the chin-length chestnut bob with the lovely face-framing spirals is stunning! I also think the side-swept bangs are gorgeous and they add a nice lightness, which is especially good for round or heart-shaped faces. The curls also give medium and fine hair types the volume and thickness they always desire. I will say that these types of curls do require a lot of maintenance to keep them looking nice. It will involve curl refresher, good conditioner, and some diffusing. If you don’t like spending a lot of time on your hair in the morning, this probably isn’t the style for you. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing your hair in the morning, the final result is fantastic!
#41 Bouncy Curly Bob with a Sweeping Side Fringe
This haircut feels vibrant and fun. The bouncy curls and skipping bangs feel warm and approachable to the entire look. What I like about the haircut is that for people with natural waves or curls, this style really works with what your hair wants to do. You are really working with the texture of your hair, and the shorter length of the hairstyle eliminates weight from the curls, allowing them to be more bouncy. The style champions free and moving hair which means far less heat styling which is a boon to the health of your curls. The frizz factor is so real especially in warm humid weather so having a lightweight curl defining mousse or curl enhancer can help with defining those frizzy curls without weighing your hair down.
#42 Textured Layered Bob with Soft Side Bangs
Not only does this haircut look good in pictures, it will last the whole week as well. Soft side bangs will frame your face because you won’t have to adjust them. The movement and dimension created by the layers will keep the hair from looking flat and boring. The medium density hairs will feel light and airy. For people with oval and heart shaped faces, the flattering framing of the hair will be low maintenance. The cut will need to be trimmed regularly every 6-8 weeks to maintain the shape of the haircut, otherwise it will just result in long hair with bangs, which is not the same look at all. If you wish to color your hair, I recommend subtle highlights to add to the beauty of the cut, but even with the cut, one solid color will still look good.
#43 Layered Bob with Side Bangs
I find the chocolate color very rich and appealing. The side bangs and the layered textures add sophistication to the look. The layered look adds volume and movement to the hair creating an interesting shape. It is best suited for heart and oval face shapes. The mid length cut is long enough to wear in different styles and short enough to create a distinct look. It is low maintenance and light. The bangs and layer poke and will need regular trims to keep them fresh. When bangs irritate you, the whole style becomes a hassle.
#44 Modern Textured Bob with Soft Side Bangs
The length of the jawline grazers cut creates a proportioned frame for the face, and the soft side bangs add a touch of softness, perfect for a Tuesday morning meeting or a Saturday night dinner as no adjustments are required. One thing I notice about fine dense hair of this type is how the movement and volume is a result of the cut instead of from product or heat, which tells me it was done by someone who really understands the potential of the hair. For oval and heart shaped faces, it highlights features effortlessly and the upkeep is remarkably low; just a quick blowdry and you’re ready to go, which is quite unusual for a style that has that much effort put in. Obviously, not the best option if you love the feeling of long hair, but for everyone willing to go for the chop, it is a great move.
#45 Jaw-Length Textured Bob with Subtle Side Bangs
There is a mixture of color and layered texture that adds dimension for finer hair. The bangs bring a hint of playfulness to the overall look and a jaw-length design is effortless and universally flattering for heart and oval face shapes. There’s versatility and you can put some waves in it with your fingers and a little product, or blow it out smooth and it looks like a different cut. That says to me good foundation in a haircut. I would want you to be ready for maintenance to keep the lighter colors fresh, but the cut itself is forgiving as it grows.
#46 Textured Bob with Side Bangs and Soft Movement
The cut’s texture and length give it a finished yet low-maintenance feel. It looks great with bangs and the layers are subtle which helps to keep the ends light. Bobs at this length can feel heavy but with medium to thick hair, these layers help avoid that feeling. The ends of the hair hitting the jawline is a lovely touch and I recommend keeping up to date with your trims because if the ends get too thick it can look overly boxy. Edges like this can build up quickly and lose shape, and instead of looking stylish it can look like it just needs a cut. People will be drawn to the hair and ask who does it if you is keep up with the maintenance.
#47 Softly Textured Bob with Wispy Side Bangs
The wispy side bangs are super pretty! They are just thick enough to frame the face and light enough to blow in the wind. The rest of the bob is going to look very voluminous, especially if the hair is medium to thick. The lived-in quality created by this is amazing. The length is just right too, because hitting the jaw line highlights the face. The waves are very light, so the bob won’t have a heavy feeling, which is an amazing feel to achieve. Bobs that have a good feel like this are always great because they look natural and real. It gives the vibe that the wearer has a life and isn’t spending a ton of time on their hair. Nothing too complicated is needed to get this look, just some good styling product to maintain that look.
#48 Blunt Bob with Playful Side Bangs
This bob haircut highlights the skills involved in precise cutting. The playful side bangs also serve to juxtapose soft and sharp elements, while the precision blunt cuts equal thickness and volume. The slight waves also add volume and movement to prevent a stifled appearance. Soft highlights from a light balayage add contrast and dimension but respect the overall simplicity of the cut. The shape develops a good amount of roughness to balance the simplicity so it works well. The sharpness requires maintenance to keep it fresh and we suggest every 5-6 weeks. A blunt bob will start to look unintentional once it has grown out more than this. There is a clear divide between intentional and unintentional styles, and blunt bobs tend to be classified into the unintentional side.
#49 Textured Bob with Soft Side Bangs
I completely adore the color on this style! The subtle balayage effect helps to create a warm, relaxed, and sun-kissed quality to the style! The soft side bang really does an awesome job of framing the face without drawing too much attention to them. Additionally, the jaw grazing length is complimentary to all face shapes, especially round and oval. When it comes to fine to medium hair, this length and texture creates a lot of movement and volume so it never looks flat. I can see that the balayage does a great job of enhancing the base color, and I really appreciate colors that grow out nicely! I, too, appreciate colors that look gorgeous for the first two weeks post haircut, and then grow out awkward for the following six weeks. For these reasons, I really appreciate that the bangs will need regular trims to keep them from falling into your eyes, but otherwise, it’s really a low maintenance haircut!
#50 Playful Curly Bob with Side Bangs
This haircut is very positive. The soft side bangs and loose curls have been shaped nicely to give them dimension and personality. The color is also bright, but not too overwhelming. For once, the curls give the texture and volume that the hair needs. The hair density is fine to medium and the length is medium, so the curls won’t be weighed down, and the added volume and texture will be nice. Styling and maintenance will be easy and I do think you will need a product to hold the curls and a diffuser will be nice for that too. I notice that loose curls tend to not hold their shape well so its good to set them up as you like. The new color is a fun addition that doesn’t require a huge commitment and it doesn’t need a big cut. It is the right kind of approach for pretty much everyone.
