#1: Side-Parted Choppy Cut

A choppy hairstyle can be side-parted. The cut has textural layers and blunt ends, creating an interesting look. It works well on both medium to thick hair and hair with fine to coarse textures. Using a curling iron can add more texture to the choppy bob hairstyle.

#2: Long Bob with Dimensional Highlights

Bobs are an excellent hairstyle choice if you have fine to medium hair texture. Adding a slight layer at the crown and a barely noticeable graduated cut can create a beautiful shape that experts can recognize. Your stylist will concentrate on adding texture to the perimeter and creating a soft, modern bob. Use a flat iron with a slight bend and style your hair away from the face to get natural-looking waves.

The deep side part and layered cut frame the face perfectly, enhancing facial contours and softening fuller cheeks. Its medium length maintains versatility, allowing for both sleek and wavy styles. While this chic cut adds volume, it may require more styling time to achieve that perfect fall just above the shoulders.

#4: Bright Blonde Textured Bob

Try the coolest trend with a bright blonde textured bob. You can create the perfect bob to match your hair type and texture. I would chip into the mid-lengths and ends to create texture and release unwanted weight. When styling long, choppy bobs, use a big barrel curling iron and leave out your ends. Use some sea salt spray to finish.

#5: Dimensional Color on a Long Choppy Bob Cut

If you want a modern, flexible hairstyle that gives depth and movement to your hair, consider applying color to a long, choppy bob cut. The choppy layers offer a textured, tousled look. Adding color to your hair will enhance its depth. This hairstyle is ideal for a fresh, youthful look without cutting any length from your hair. To set this hairstyle, start with dry hair. Use a spray to richen the choppy layers and give them shape. You can also use a curling wand to create loose waves for added texture.

#6: Dimensional Lob with Layers

A dimensional lob with layers is a shaggy shape with lots of personality. The best way to achieve the airy shape is to have your ends texture cut. Ask for point cutting or razor cutting for wispiness. Your shape should have medium layers and a soft fringe. If you want your curls to be messy with straight ends, I advise leaving them out when you curl them. And add a texture paste when styling.

#7: Choppy with Volume

It would be best if you went for this lob with volume. To add volume to your bob, try parting your hair deep on the opposite side of a normal parting. This naturally adds more volume. Add some beachy curls to the mix for even more. Avoid too much height if you have long or rectangular face shapes.

#8: Blunt Ends with Minimal Textured Layers

Reward your hair with blunt ends and minimal textured layers. You’ll be glad you did. This cut is versatile and will make your hair healthy and voluminous. Opt for a length above the shoulders to show off the thick perimeter. You’ll want your stylist to cut into your layers to create texture and movement. Curl your hair with a 1-inch iron for a tousled style, or if you want to, wear it straight.

#9: Modern Lob with a Light Brown Money Piece

If you want to make your bob more dimensional, I suggest adding balayage pieces. The two-tone will add depth, making your cut look more defined. Get the most out of your balayage and place your highlighted pieces around your face and close to the scalp. This will allow more time to grow.

#10: Messy Side-Parted Lob

If you have thick, heavy hair and want a short cut with movement, ask your stylist for a textured bob. The razor softens your ends, which removes weight and creates more movement. Wear your hair with waves to see a more choppy, defined look. Avoid curling your ends. It will cause shrinkage when styling.

#11: Platinum Lob with No Bangs

The platinum lob with no bangs is a stunning classic hairstyle. It’s ideal for women who like to keep the cut simple and emphasize the bold color. It’s a good idea to mention if you are happy with the length, as you will need to get a regular trim every 6-8 weeks. That will ensure you have no split ends, keeping your hair in great condition.

#12: Softly Textured Lob Without Bangs

If you have thick hair and need better shaping for your cut, ask for textured layers. If you can, try a razor cut bob. The texturizing removes bulk and weight. It allows more movement in your hair and keeps the cut from looking triangulated. This will also allow your hair to look more cascading with curls or waves. And it will also elongate your neck.

Go for a beachy vibe. A lob is low-maintenance and easy to style. To give your hair some weightless movement, all you need is some invisible layers. They add lift without the look of traditional layers. To get an undone, messy look, I suggest adding loose waves and texture spray and messing it up.

#15: Lived-In Blonde One-Length Lob

A lived-in blonde on a one-length lob always looks fun and classy. When you want a style that looks lived-in, opt for curling your hair in different directions. Use your curling iron to do this. Curling both towards your face and away from your face while leaving the ends of your hair out of the curling iron. Leaving the ends of your hair straight will give you a more natural, textured appearance. Finish with a tousled texture spray, and voila!

#16: Milk Chocolate Lob with No Bangs

A milk chocolate lob with no bangs is hot on the style trend. If you opt for no bangs, I recommend minimal layering in your lob. This will allow the longer lengths around your face to flow to the rest of your cut and keep your bottom line strong. Try curling your hair, leaving the ends out for a messy finish.

#17: Lived-In Balayage Lob

If you have naturally dark brown or black hair, a lived-in balayage lob is a perfect hairstyle to rock if you love a natural-looking hair color and cut that offers lots of dimensions. Remember, it’s important to ensure you don’t go too light with your balayage, as this can create a harsh contrast you are not necessarily going for. However, 2-3 shades lighter than your natural hair color is typically recommended.

Blow-dry or air-dry, then add waves with a wand, leaving the last one to two inches straight. Finish with a texture spray.

#20: Sun-Kissed Lob

This cut is a great choice for a low-maintenance yet high-fashion look. The lob is a much easier grow-out than a short bob, so it’s a nice baby step into a shorter cut. The sun-kissed blonde can be achieved with baby lights or the balayage method. Your stylist will know what will work best for your hair. Styling is minimal. You can air dry and add texture cream for an undone look or add wand curls for added texture.

#25: Long Blunt Bob with Choppy Layers

A long blunt bob with choppy layers is an edgy cut that works well for any hair type. Blunt perimeters combine with soft layers to create an effortless look. These cuts are perfect in-between length to where you can still pull hair up, but looks great with soft beach waves added. A one-inch curling iron and texture spray help create an effortless look for choppy, long bob hairstyles. Depending on the hair density, a long bob with layers looks best at either collarbone or chest-length level.

A long choppy bob is a shoulder-length cut with jagged and textured ends that softens the style. Its versatility is one of its best assets. It appears stunning on either sleek and wavy hair, with or without bangs.

Before you get this beachy lob cut, “a thorough consultation is key,” says Georgia-based stylist Kristin Valdosta. Consider your routine and your lifestyle by asking, “Do I want to be still able to pull it up in a ponytail?” And “How much time do I have to commit to styling it?”

Yes, this hairstyle is quicker to jazz up but keep in mind that you still need to allot some of your time to do so.

Valdosta loves texturizing products such as the Undressed by Kevin Murphy. It’s a lightweight, creamy, textured paste that polishes and pieces the hair. She also recommends the Creme 2 Powder Play for women who need volume and control.

This choppy haircut may not work on a certain texture and density. If that happens, ask your hairstylist how you should style your hair. You must also know everything about its maintenance to keep its shape.

“Women sometimes don’t realize that the smallest bit of grow-out can make a big difference,” Valdosta notes. She adds, “A shoulder-grazing, choppy long bob cut tends to bounce off and flip out, so a trim every 4-6 weeks is necessary, depending on how fast the tresses grow out.”
