#8: Medium Layered Blonde Bob
A long bob can turn into a medium-length style if it rests around the shoulders. This change gives the style more body and fullness. People with finer hair can enjoy layers in this cut. Their hair won’t feel heavy, only bouncy and full. This hairstyle suits oval, round, and square face shapes nicely.
#9: Layered Bob with Beach Waves and Blonde Balayage
Try a layered bob styled with beach waves and a blonde balayage if you like a modern, supermodel-like hairstyle. Long textured layers are the number one way to add fullness to a fine-haired bob. Remember to ask your stylist for a dark root drop to create depth. This look is great for any age group and working environment.
#10 Textured Bob with Micro Bangs

#11 Wavy Stacked Bob for Older Women
Older women can look 10 years younger with a chic layered bob that is both contemporary and sophisticated.

Short stacked bob haircuts like this can be worn straight and natural or curled and tousled.
#12: Shaggy Bob Cut for Natural Redhead
This layered cut is the perfect cut for natural redheads. The layers create a textured and voluminous look, adding depth and movement to the hair. With the weight removed from the sides, this cut balances the choppiness with a softer touch. It works particularly well for those with thin hair to create the illusion of thickness.
#13: Lob Haircut with Glossy Layers
Bob cuts at mid-length, and extended layers make the hair look lively. This haircut doesn’t change your hair’s texture much but keeps it thick. If you find it difficult to explain, take a picture. Then, tell them you want enough hair length to make a low ponytail.
#14: Light Blonde Lob with Soft Layers
Getting light blonde soft layers on a lob is a stylish choice for women with fine hair. It can add dimension and movement to their look while remaining sleek and polished. The layers create texture and body, making it a perfect style for those with fine hair who want to add volume and fullness.
#15: Shoulder-Length Choppy Layered Bob
This cut adds texture and gives a sense of motion to fine strands. It creates the illusion of dense and full hair. We place layers to reduce weight from the ends. This gives the hair more lift and bounce. The choppy texture of the layers adds a trendy touch to the overall look.
#16: Soft and Textured Layers
You should talk to your stylist about soft and textured layers if your hair is heavy or needs a reshaping. Not only can you rock a bob to keep some length, but you can add shorter layers for height or some added wave and texture. Add some dry texture spray for added grit and definition!
#17: Graduated Layered Bob with Internal Texture
If you want a fresh update for your short cut, ask for a layered bob with internal texture. This graduated cut adds volume and movement to even the finest hair. It strategically removes weight while maintaining length. I suggest using products like a volumizing mousse to encourage curling and separation. Microfiber towels can help to scrunch hair and remove moisture without causing frizz. Diffusing your hair until it is dry and using a pick to fluff up the roots can add more volume to the look.
#18: Heavily Layered Bob with Choppy Ends
Try a layered bob with choppy ends for a fresh new look. Oval face shapes are the best for this type of haircut. When styling this haircut, use Kevin Murphy Body Builder Volumising Mousse for volume. Spray this weightless volumizing mousse at the root area, then blow dry. I recommend you invest in a good volumizing brush. My favorite brush is an Ergo erg750 Super Gentle Paddle Brush. This brush will help you create lift and volume while blow-drying your hair. Finish styling your hair using a 1.25-inch curling iron to give wave and style to the hair. Wait until the waves are completely cool. Then, run your finger through your hair. Spray a little bit of hairspray for hold, and you’re done.
#19: Very Soft Layered Bob Style
Consider a soft, layered, short-cut style. This is a great choice if you are a woman who wants to keep your hair at mid-length but with layers for texture and volume. Use a round brush and blow dryer to style your new look to create soft waves and a piecey texture. You can also use a curling iron to add more volume and definition to the ends of each layer. Use a lightweight serum to protect your hair from heat styling to keep this look healthy and strong.
#20: Grown-Out Shaggy Bob
I often recommend a grown-out shaggy bob with layers for fine-haired women. This style is perfect for adding volume to hair without sacrificing length. Ask for a cut that has blended layers to create movement and texture. To keep it looking fresh, I suggest using a dry shampoo spray to add texture and volume in between washes. Your stylist will be able to guide you to the perfect cut that works with your natural texture and face shape.
#21: Chic Mid-Length Layered Cut with Deep Side Part
If you have a stubborn cowlick but want framing added to your mid-length bob, consider working with the push of that area. Ask for a longer side-swept bang. Cowlicks are tricky. So go with the growth and use the bending point as added volume to the bang. You can try adding a swiping look on the ends with a razor, but be mindful of your tension.
#22: Curled Blonde Bob
Rock a curled blonde bob to spice up a classic haircut. When doing curls, make sure you have at least a 1.25 or 1.5-inch curling iron so you don’t get too tight of a curl. Remember, the smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl. Avoid holding the curling iron in one section for too long, and take big pieces to help make it look more natural. Adding dry shampoo to your roots and throughout your hair will help your style last longer by absorbing excess oil.
#23: Copper Layered Bob Makeover
A copper-layered bob is the perfect change. Your best bet when changing your look is to go with a cut opposite of what you already have. If you have blonde hair, I highly recommend trying a copper color. This is a great way to brighten up your skin tone.
#24: Chestnut Brown Bob with Angled Layers
It may be helpful to know that brunettes are the ones that have all the fun. A trend has been walking out of our salon chairs more frequently with tones like chestnut brown. I suggest this for thin tresses, as this dimensional color looks sun-kissed and natural.
#25: Bright Blonde Lob with Tousled Waves
You’ll want to choose a bright blonde lob for its beauty and versatility. You can wear a lob wavy or straight and you also have the option of pulling it up easily. Blonde coloring enhances your hair wonderfully, but remember, coloring will add to your trips to the salon. Don’t forget to have your stylist cut in some layers for a shaggy feel that you can part in the middle or to the side.
#26: Textured Blonde Bob with Curtain Bangs
Are you craving a new style for your finer locks? A textured blonde bob, for example, has been a staple for transformation. Salon professionals should be able to help you achieve your goals. Since you always need help, they will help with the right shade and length combinations.
#27: Back View of Tapered Layered Bob
The tapered back view of a layered bob gives fine hair movement and volume. A volumizing spray on wet hair focused at the root and blowdried will give lasting fullness.
#28: Full Highlights and Shorter Layers
Full highlights and shorter layers for fine hair will add tremendous body and texture to your style. Not only do highlights look great, but they also plump up your hair shaft as a bonus. Wear your hair in soft layers to show off your beautiful color. If you’re concerned about your double chin, ensure your hair hits below the neckline. That will help to soften those flaws.
#29: Dark Ashy Lob with Blunt Ends and Subtle Layers
Try a dark, long bob with blunt ends and subtle layers if you want icy-looking locks that are easy to maintain. With a slight angle to the front and some layers, it will create some bounce in your hair. Ask your stylist for some texture spray to give it some extra volume.
#30: Fuller-Looking Bob with Blended Layering
If you have fine and straight hair, opt for a bob with blended layering. Bob hairstyles with layers are perfect for any hair type. However, with thin and fine hair, adding blended and subtle layers keeps the style feeling full.
#31: Nice Shaggy Pixie Bob with Short Layers
Shaggy bobs with short layers, also known as the “bixie” or the “micro bob,” is the cool-girl cut of the year. An ideal length, if aiming for a graduated bob for fine hair with fringe, is at the corner of the mouth.
#32: Edgy Bob with Layers for Women Over 60
For women over 60, short haircuts like this edgy bob with layers are ultra-flattering and modern. Textured layers update a classic look for younger-looking results. In maintaining a layered bob for fine hair over 60, a thermal protector like Kerastase Ciment Thermique will repair the locks during heat styling.
#33: Voluminous Bob with Piece-y Layers
Consider a voluminous bob with piece-y layers for finer hair, as it can look chic and flirty with lots of volume at the crown. This layered bob for fine hair with fringe is a great option to transition from a pixie cut. Prevent dullness by adding highlights for dimension and texture, enhancing the overall cut. For short hairstyles, use a medium round brush and blow dry for bouncy, fluffy hair.
#34: Stylish Chin-Length Bob with Choppy Bangs
If your fine locks crave volume and body, consider a stylish layered bob with a fresh new fringe. It’s a chin-length bob cut for fine hair, spruced up with loose curls. Barely-there layers, choppy bangs, and texture products are key to adding fullness and face-framing emphasis to layered chin-length hairstyles.
#35: Jaw-Length Layered Bob with Full Bangs
A layered bob that hits at jaw length is known as the super chic French bob—a fresh take on the classic shape. Full, rounded bangs or a curtain fringe added to layered short bobs for fine hair elevate your look, drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones. Angles of this cut are perfect for thick or fine textures but must be personalized and detailed to ensure a balanced shape and easy grow-out.

The best layered bobs for fine hair are cut specifically to help give the illusion of having more volume. Short and long pieces are blended to tease out more of the hair.
I spoke with Jules Carlson, a Thunder Bay, ON stylist, to get her take on these layered bobs.
“The biggest edge of this bobbed hair is that it’s easy to style,” she points out. “Volumizing products would help to add effortless body and fullness that women with fine hair would enjoy having.”
Of all hair densities, cutting finer strands can be trickier. Proper blending of layers is vital not only to ensure easy styling but also to avoid imprecise cuts.
Keep in constant communication with your hairdresser. Talk about the ideal length of layers that flatters and works well with your face shape and hair texture. “Your stylist can recommend best suited for you,” Carlson assures.
