29 Modern Inverted Bob with Bangs (And Ones to Avoid)

An inverted bob with bangs is a type of bob haircut that’s short at the back and gets longer towards the front and is pair. A fringed haircut is what you should get if your goal is all about framing and complementing your facial structures plus adding a dramatic edge to your look!

Short bangs offer an extra element to any inverted bob haircut, and they’re adorably chic! For a bolder take, full bangs would do the trick, but you can also opt for a side fringe to get a softer touch.

See how Nina Dobrev, Julianne Hough, and Emma Stone debuted their beautifully shaped bobs on the red carpet this year. Baltimore hairstylist Kristyn Wink does all kinds of inverted bobs with bangs. From loose, shaggy bobs with wispy bangs to straight and clean cuts finished with a full, blunt fringe – proving how versatile a modern cut can be!

Maintenance and salon visits depend on what length you want to keep your locks at. A monthly trim would do if you desire to sport a cheeky cut for a long time.

With the plenty of combos up for choosing, it can get overwhelming at first! Don’t fret, as it’s all been done for you – check out these gorgeous photos of inverted bob with bangs that you’ll be taking to your hairdresser right away!

#1: Inverted Bob with Blonde Balayage

An inverted bob with blonde balayage is ideal for thick hair, giving it a rounded graduation and beautiful shape at the nape. Styling it towards the back or over-directing is ideal for an inverted shape. This styling depends on the length of the front hair, which is determined by your face shape. A light, textured fringe makes this style modern and brings out the eyes.

#2: Long Bob with Shaggy Layers and Bangs

A long bob with lots of layers can be worn without a parting. This style creates a shaggy appearance. The bangs should blend into the layers. I recommend letting the hair lie naturally for a casual and relaxed look.

#3: Jaw-Length Bob with a Blunt Fringe

A sharp jaw-length bob is a classic style. It’s often worn super sleek for a glossy look. In addition, a blunt fringe is more than just a focal point – it’s a bold style statement. These haircuts look great when fresh. Thus, upkeep is crucial. I recommend a refresh every 5-6 weeks.

To add style to your inverted bob, consider more texture, a shaved side, and micro bangs. These micro bangs can be tailored to fit your face shape. They look good, especially if they suit your style. Haircuts aim to balance the face, match your style, and bring out your best features.

#5: Wavy Textured Bob with Layers and Bangs

A bob with a wavy texture and layered bangs is an option you should ask about. An inverted bob is a timeless and beautiful shape. You can add extra texture and curtain bangs to the style and shape for a modern look. If you have a narrow jawline, a bob that ends in the middle of the neck can balance your face shape. Adding some highlights can help show off the cut and texture.

Such a style has lasted for ages, and it’s because the simple bob is magnified by an angular cut. A bob look is further revolutionized by conspicuous side-swept bangs.

Longer strands than a pixie but still as savvy! A very short inverted bob with bangs has some asymmetrical features with the help of the chopped-up layers.

#8: Stacked Inverted Bob

A short stacked inverted bob is great for thin hair, as it can be quite stressful to give body and form. All of the stacked layers coupled are what your very delicate hair needs.

You can still rock out inverted bob with these magnificent layers even when you are older. Shorter layers at the top create fantastic texture. The asymmetrical look accompanies the angular bob cut.

#10: Dramatic Inverted Bob with Fringe

The dramatic inverted bob with bangs is definitely a statement look. This sleek and always chic bob cut gives off businesswoman vibes and always looks professional. Styling requires a blow dryer and Denman (hard flat) brush, blow drying using the “wrap technique” drying against the head back and forth until dry.

#11: Layered Long Round Bob with a Fringe

The length is maintained on the sides for a lovely profile shape. Pair the cut with a soft, sweeping fringe. This fringe covers the forehead and frames the face. I recommend using a round brush to create a turned-under feel to achieve the look.

#24: Inverted Bob with Wispy Bangs

Choose your favorite color and inverted bob haircut with bangs. My favorite thing about an inverted haircut is the combination of modern color and a classic shape, especially with wispy bangs. I recommend investing in a great flat iron and a heat protectant spray to create a smooth and sleek finish. My choice is the GHD Platinum+ Styler and Davines ‘This Is An Invisible No Gas Spray.’

#25: Shaggy Inverted Bob

The tone is just the right amount of fun but keeps it professional for the corporate world. The subtle graduation and soft layering throughout were cut with a feather razor to create natural movement in the hair.
