If you’re 50+ and craving a fresh, modern cut that lifts your face without high upkeep, a side-part bob is your best friend. Shift your part ½–¾ inch off-center to camouflage a thinning hairline and create crown lift; pair it with a beveled bob and soft graduation landing between jaw and collarbone based on neck length. For fullness on fine hair, ask for internal stacking with light point-cutting at the perimeter; for coarse or silver strands, skip the razor and use slide-cutting to reduce frizz. Glasses? Try a cheekbone-length side sweep or micro-fringe; diagonal-forward lines slim round faces, slight asymmetry flatters strong jaws. Peek the 25 ideas, note your ideal part depth and neckline, and bring screenshots to your appointment.
#1 Short Side Part Bob With Layers
Soft, layered, and perfectly face-framing, this short side part bob gives a light, airy finish that works wonders for fine to medium hair. The subtle layering at the ends adds volume without sacrificing structure, which is ideal for women over 50 looking to refresh their look without going too short. Works well on oval and heart-shaped faces. A great low-maintenance option that grows out gracefully, but may need styling help if your hair tends to fall flat.
#2 Super Short Side Part French Bob
This cropped French bob is chic and full of texture, thanks to the tousled waves and short length that stops above the jawline. It’s a youthful, edgy cut that suits women with naturally wavy or curly hair and medium density. The side part helps break up the volume and frames the face softly. A fantastic wash-and-go style, though it can shrink up on curlier textures. Works beautifully for square and round face shapes needing lift at the top.
#3 Swing Bob With Soft Side Part
Breezy and feminine, this swing bob has a soft side part and gentle layering that makes the hair flow naturally around the face. Best for straight to slightly wavy textures, it moves beautifully with each turn of the head. The slightly flipped-out ends add youthfulness without trying too hard. Ideal for women over 50 with medium density hair and oval or heart-shaped faces. Styling is easy, but fine hair might need some volume at the root to keep it from collapsing.
#4 Concave Side Part Bob Haircut
This concave bob features a strong side part and a precise undercurve that dips forward toward the chin. The nape is clean and tucked, while the front remains longer and sleek, giving the illusion of length and lift. Perfect for fine to medium straight hair, especially if you want a tidy silhouette that doesn’t fall flat. This works beautifully on oval or square face shapes. The only drawback is that it needs regular maintenance to preserve that sharp inward bend.
#5 Curly Bob With Side Part Definition
Full of bounce and character, this curly bob embraces natural texture with well-defined coils and a flattering side part. The length stops right at the jawline, which adds a soft frame to round or heart-shaped faces. Ideal for women over 50 with medium to thick density curls, this shape helps avoid triangle-head bulk and promotes movement. The cut prevents heaviness at the ends but will need moisture-rich products to maintain definition without frizz.
#6 Shaggy Side Part Bob with Waves
This tousled shag-style bob with a soft side part adds personality and texture in all the right places. The choppy ends and curtain fringe break up the shape and give a flattering lift around the cheekbones. Great for women with natural wave or curl who want to avoid flat, shapeless cuts. Especially flattering on square and heart face shapes. While it’s low-maintenance day-to-day, the shape needs a trim every couple months to keep the layers fresh.
#7 Side Part Pixie Bob for Fine Hair
This side part pixie bob combines the sharp shape of a bob with the airy lightness of a pixie, making it ideal for women with fine, thinning hair. The top has extra layering to create fullness, and the deep part adds natural volume where it’s often needed most. Perfect for square and oval faces, this look is very low-maintenance, but may require a little root powder or texturizer to keep it from falling flat at the crown.
#8 Stacked Medium Bob with Side Part
This medium bob features a gentle stack in the back and seamless layers that taper forward into a side part. It’s a great option for women over 50 with fine to medium hair looking to add controlled volume without a harsh shape. The side part adds softness and creates natural lift at the roots. It’s particularly flattering on heart-shaped faces. Easy to maintain, though the stack will need regular shaping to avoid looking bulky at the nape.
#9 Round Bob with Side Part Styling
A round bob like this one keeps things soft and classic, especially when paired with a delicate side part that adds just enough asymmetry. The under-curved edges and stacked nape give it structure without bulk, and it’s especially flattering on women with straighter hair and medium density. Works well for long, oval, or angular faces that benefit from a bit of roundness. This cut holds its shape with minimal effort, though fine hair may need root lift.
#10 Layered Long Bob With Side Part
This soft long bob is layered through the ends to keep it light and breezy, and the gentle side part adds lift around the forehead. Perfect for medium to thick textures, especially if your hair has a slight wave. The length allows for curling or updos, while the shaping around the cheeks adds softness. A great pick for round or heart-shaped faces, but may need a bit of heat styling to avoid looking too flat or bulky at the base.
#11 Inverted Side Part Short Bob
This sleek inverted bob curves sharply from the nape to the chin, with a side part that emphasizes the angle. The clean lines and cool silver tone give this cut a crisp, elegant finish. Works well for women with fine to medium straight hair who want a tidy, modern shape. The structure defines cheekbones and flatters rounder faces. While the shape holds beautifully, it does require more frequent trims to maintain the sharp angle.
#12 Graduated Side Part Bob For Volume
This voluminous graduated bob features stacked layers in the back and a side part that gives the crown a natural lift. Perfect for finer hair that needs help looking fuller, this style is also enhanced with multi-dimensional blonde highlights that brighten the face. The cut hugs the jawline beautifully and works well on heart-shaped and oval faces. It’s easy to style with a round brush, but those with cowlicks might struggle with the fringe area.
#13 Choppy Side Part Lob Hairstyle
This lob (long bob) is all about movement. Soft, choppy layers with a casual side part create a beachy, undone look that’s ideal for women with fine to medium-density hair and natural waves. The length brushes the shoulders, offering versatility without the bulk of longer styles. Great for oval and rectangular face shapes. It adds texture but can look a bit messy if not styled—sea salt spray helps enhance those layers without crunch.
#14 Blunt Bob With Side Part And Fringe
This precision-cut blunt bob features a full, brow-skimming fringe and a subtle side part to break up the structure. Ideal for women with thick, straight hair, the clean lines give a youthful finish while still being age-appropriate. The bangs help conceal forehead lines, but they can feel heavy on finer textures. Best on round or square faces where the strong shape adds balance. Flat irons keep this cut polished, but it holds shape well naturally too.
#15 Asymmetrical Side Part Shaggy Bob
This edgy asymmetrical bob uses shaggy, razored layers and a deep side part to add movement and modern flair. The longer pieces on one side soften the face while the tousled texture makes it a great choice for medium-density, straight-to-wavy hair. It flatters heart and oval faces especially well. If you want a low-fuss style that looks full without teasing, this one nails it—but it may feel uneven as it grows out and needs shaping often.
#16 Angled Bob With Deep Side Part
This angled bob features a deep side part and rich dark base with soft highlights that add depth and warmth. The cut curves inward toward the chin, giving great definition to jawlines and lifting flatter hair. It’s perfect for women with medium to thick density and works best on straight to slightly wavy textures. The highlights around the face brighten the complexion, but darker roots may need touch-ups to maintain contrast.
#17 A-Line Side Part Shoulder Length Bob
With a longer A-line shape and soft brown balayage, this shoulder-length side part bob adds dimension and modern flair. The subtle graduation from back to front flatters rounder faces and adds the illusion of length. Ideal for medium to thick hair textures that can hold shape without too much styling. It offers the length some women prefer while keeping the classic bob structure intact. Slightly high-maintenance due to the longer ends needing smoothing.
#18 Grey Hair Angled Side Part Bob
The angled cut and deep side part give this bob structure and movement, especially ideal for naturally silver or gray hair. The front gently elongates toward the chin, drawing the eye forward and helping soften aging features. Great on medium to thick textures with a bit of natural wave. It lifts flat hair and creates shape, though fine hair may need extra styling support. Perfect for oblong and square face shapes.
#19 Blonde Side Part Stacked Bob
A beautifully stacked bob with subtle layering at the nape and rounded shaping toward the front, this blonde bob is great for creating a lifted silhouette. The side part adds asymmetry, flattering oval and heart-shaped faces. Perfect for women with straight to slightly wavy textures and medium density. Color maintenance might be a commitment, but the volume and shape make this cut worth it. Best if you’re okay with frequent trims to keep the stack defined.
#20 Side Part Bob For Thinning Hair
This side part bob is feathered and softly stacked in the back to create volume without overwhelming thinning hair. The layers are placed with intention—lifting at the crown and tapering around the face to maintain lightness. Great for women with fine hair who want movement and coverage at the sides. The side part creates a lifting effect for longer faces. It does require a round brush or volumizing spray to keep its bounce throughout the day.
#21 Chin-Length Side Part Blunt Bob
Neat, structured, and timeless, this chin-length blunt bob with a soft side part offers a polished look without being too severe. The ends are clean and even, giving the cut a refined edge that’s ideal for straight, dense hair. Works wonderfully for women over 50 wanting something easy to style but still sharp. Best suited for oval or long face shapes. May feel a bit heavy on finer strands unless slightly thinned at the ends.
#22 Cropped Side Part Textured Bob
Casual, choppy layers give this cropped side part bob a lived-in, textured look that’s especially flattering on women over 50 with naturally straight to wavy hair. The tousled finish adds fullness, making it a solid option for anyone with medium to low density hair. The length skims just below the chin, which works great for elongating round or heart-shaped faces. Easy to style with a little product, but may require regular trims to keep the shape.
#23 Very Short Side Part Pixie Bob
Sleek and tapered with just the right amount of edge, this silver pixie bob is perfect for women embracing their natural gray. The very short cut hugs the head and features a deep side part for structure and softness around the cheekbones. It’s a low-effort, high-impact style best suited for fine to medium hair and longer oval or angular face shapes. Great for thinning hair, but it will expose scalp more on those with sparse crowns.
#24 Gracecut
The Gracecut is all about sophistication without effort—feathered ends, a smooth side part, and longer front pieces that graze the collarbone. Designed for women over 50 who want volume without stiffness, it suits medium to thick hair best. The side part lifts the face and blends seamlessly into the crown volume. This works especially well on rectangular and oval face shapes. While it looks polished, you’ll need a blow-dry to keep the feathering crisp and full.
#25 Refinicut Haircut
The Refinicut is a polished, chin-length bob with a minimalist side part and precision lines that frame the jawline. It’s a go-to for women who want a refined, no-fuss style that still reads modern. Best suited for straight, medium-density hair, it brings attention to the cheekbones and eyes. The clean cut reduces daily styling needs but will highlight uneven growth quickly, so trims every 6-8 weeks are key. Excellent for narrow or oval face shapes.
