If you’ve been feeling like your current cut is falling flat or just not giving enough shape, a stacked bob might be the perfect fix. This style builds volume in the back with precisely layered angles that lift and contour the head beautifully. What really makes or breaks this cut is the angle—it needs to match your jawline and neck length to avoid looking boxy or heavy. Also, if your hair’s on the finer side, texturizing the underlayers (not just the ends) will help it hold shape without puffing out.
Too many versions of this cut forget about how important nape shaping is—ask for a clean, graduated stack at the nape to get that polished curve. Ready to see all the ways you can wear this cut and find the one that fits your face best? Scroll through and find the one that speaks to you.
#1: Chic Stacked Salt and Pepper Bob
This stacked salt and pepper bob offers a modern twist on a classic cut. The hair length is jaw-skimming, providing a flattering frame for various face shapes. Featuring precision layering for volume and movement, this style suits medium to thick hair types, enhancing natural texture. The contrasting colors add depth, making it visually striking. For styling, use a smoothing serum and round brush for a polished finish. This haircut is perfect for those wanting a low-maintenance yet stylish look.
#2 Plum Angled Stack
Edgy and modern, this angled stacked bob gets a punch from its deep plum hue. The cut is steeper than most, creating a strong forward flow that suits narrow or angular face shapes. Great for finer straight hair—it builds lift at the back while staying sleek at the front. The color brings out cooler skin tones but fades quickly, so you’ll want a sulfate-free shampoo and maybe a tinted conditioner to maintain vibrancy.
#3 Café Auburn Bob
Warm and dimensional, this auburn stacked bob uses subtle layering to enhance volume without harsh lines. The feathered side fringe gently breaks across the forehead, great for softening fine lines or balancing strong cheekbones. Best on medium-density hair with a bit of natural wave—it air-dries beautifully. The color is rich but forgiving between salon visits. If you’re low on styling time but want a fresh, modern look, this one’s a keeper.
#4 Asymmetrical Stacked Bob
This asymmetrical stacked bob makes a bold statement with its rich burgundy hue and dramatic side angle. The cut dips lower on one side, enhancing jawlines and creating elongation for rounder faces. The sleek finish and stacked back build volume where it’s needed most, making it a good option for women with dense, straight hair. The color adds vibrancy but may need maintenance to prevent fading. Great for clients looking for something polished with a bit of edge.
#5 Stacked Bob with Shadow Root
This soft, refined stacked bob uses a shadow root to ease the transition between salon visits and reduce the appearance of regrowth. The warm beige blonde ends brighten the face, while the stacked nape subtly builds volume. Best for fine to medium straight hair, it’s a practical and flattering cut for women who want lightness without sacrificing structure. The shadow root adds depth, which is great for anyone starting to see a few grays or aiming for a more natural blonde.
#6 Curly Stacked Bob
Voluminous and vibrant, this curly stacked bob makes the most of natural ringlets with a sculpted, rounded silhouette. The stacking at the back provides control while preserving bounce and fullness, which is essential for thick curly hair. The rich copper-red tone enhances the curls’ definition and gives off a playful warmth. Ideal for women who want a structured yet free-spirited look, though it does need curl-specific products and some shaping between cuts to avoid mushrooming.
#7 Angled Stacked Bob
Sleek and sculpted, this angled stacked bob offers a crisp shape that naturally lifts the crown and slims the jawline. The layering is subtle yet effective, working especially well on fine to medium hair textures. Ash brown balayage with silvery tones adds dimension without harsh contrast, making it a great transitional color for graying hair. It’s a smart option for women in their 40s and 50s looking for a style that balances elegance with easy maintenance. Best styled with a round brush for that tucked-under finish.
#8 Stacked Bob with Babylights
This softly graduated stacked bob gets a glow-up with fine babylights woven through a neutral brown base. It’s great for women who want a little brightness without going full-on blonde. The graduation is subtle but enough to give shape and lift at the crown, especially on medium-textured, straight hair. The babylights add just enough contrast to make the layering pop without a heavy maintenance routine. Works well for round or oval face shapes.
#9 Messy Stacked Bob
Laid-back and full of texture, this messy stacked bob thrives on tousled layers and uneven volume. The rougher edges and undone shape give it an effortlessly modern look, perfect for medium to thick hair types. Subtle balayage around the front adds dimension without stealing focus from the cut. While it’s meant to look unstructured, a salt spray or dry texture cream can help define the movement without making it feel too styled.
#10 Stacked Bob with Nape Undercut
This stacked pixie bob features a clean nape undercut that lifts the crown and removes unnecessary bulk—especially helpful for women with fine, straight hair. The silver-blonde shade keeps the cut modern and brightens aging skin beautifully. Its close-cropped back makes it a breeze to style, though the asymmetry and length on top still offer softness and coverage. Ideal for mature clients who want low-fuss but elevated styling.
#11 Stacked Bob with Face Framing Layers
Gentle layers around the face make this stacked bob a great option for softening strong jawlines or high cheekbones. The chestnut brown shade brings warmth without too much contrast, while the subtle wave enhances natural texture. Ideal for fine to medium-density hair, this style adds movement without losing volume. It’s one of those cuts that grows out nicely, but the layering around the front may need touch-ups to avoid falling flat.
#12 Stacked Bob with Undercut
Bold meets practical in this stacked bob with a shaved undercut at the side. The underlayer not only lightens the weight of thick hair but also adds a modern twist when tucked behind the ear. Its dramatic side part and dark hue boost volume and contrast, especially for oval or angular face shapes. Styling is easy with a blow-dryer and round brush, but the undercut does require regular upkeep to keep it looking sharp and intentional.
#13 Blunt Cut Stacked Bob
Sleek and structured, this blunt stacked bob brings maximum definition with clean edges and a subtle graduation in the back. It’s ideal for thick, straight hair that holds a solid shape. The deep black tone gives it a bold, dramatic effect that’s timeless yet modern. It’s a power look, perfect for sharp features and square or oval face shapes. However, it does need consistent trims and smoothing tools to maintain its precise silhouette.
#14 Textured Stacked Bob
This textured stacked bob has that airy, piece-y shape that gives natural volume without needing much styling. The soft choppy layers break up the weight beautifully, especially for women with thicker, wavy hair. The warm auburn tones give it depth and dimension, flattering most complexions. While it’s easygoing day to day, the choppier ends can dry out fast—so adding a moisturizing cream or light pomade helps keep it looking lived-in without frizz.
#15 Layered Stacked Bob
Built-in movement and airy body make this layered stacked bob a great pick for medium-density hair with a slight wave. The layering is strategically placed to remove bulk while boosting volume at the back. The rich espresso tone brings out warmth in the skin and keeps the overall style elegant. It’s a wearable, tousled look that doesn’t feel too polished but still requires a quick blow-dry or diffuser to enhance the texture.
#16 Stacked Bob for Fine Hair
This soft, angled stacked bob is a flattering choice for fine-haired women who want light volume without looking overdone. The side-swept layers and root lift help create the illusion of fullness, especially at the crown. Its bright beige-blonde tone adds vibrancy and works beautifully on fair complexions. While it’s fairly low-maintenance, finer hair may need a volumizing mousse or light backcombing to keep its shape throughout the day.
#17 Stacked Bob with Balayage Highlights
Dynamic and dimensional, this stacked bob gets a lift from soft balayage highlights and loose, tousled layering. The hand-painted color brightens the mid-lengths and tips, adding contrast to the deeper base. Ideal for women with medium hair density who want movement without excessive styling. The side part adds asymmetry that flatters rounder faces. It’s a playful but grown-up option, though highlight maintenance may be a consideration if you’re avoiding regular salon visits.
#18 Stacked Bob with Wispy Ends
Airy and playful, this stacked bob has light, wispy ends that soften the overall shape. The chin-grazing front draws attention to the cheekbones and works nicely for women with oval or heart-shaped faces. Its fine texture pairs well with this choppier style, but lightweight product is key to keep it from going limp. The natural brunette tone gives it a casual feel, ideal for women who like an easy-going yet modern haircut that doesn’t scream for attention.
#19 Long Stacked Bob
Clean and refined, this long stacked bob works best on women with fine to medium straight hair. The longer length maintains styling versatility while still benefiting from the subtle lift at the back. Its blunt edges lend polish, and the warm golden blonde balayage adds just enough brightness to keep things dimensional. This style is great for professionals or anyone wanting a minimal, polished cut—though it may lack natural volume without blow-drying or heat styling.
#20 Stacked Bob for Thick Hair
Rounded and sculpted, this stacked bob was clearly cut with thick, straight hair in mind. The interior weight is removed to prevent puffiness, while the soft curve under the chin frames the face beautifully. Its glossy, dark brunette finish keeps the overall look sleek and refined. Perfect for women who want to manage fullness without sacrificing length in front. It does require a solid blow-dry routine or flat iron for that smooth finish day-to-day.
#21 Short Stacked Bob with Volume
Packed with volume, this short stacked bob makes the most of thicker hair by layering strategically through the crown. The tousled texture adds a casual element, while the stacked back creates a lifted shape that flatters most face shapes. The warm dark brunette tone adds richness without harsh contrast. Great for women who want a fuller look without going too long. Just keep in mind—it needs some styling effort to keep that volume controlled and intentional.
#22 Inverted Stacked Bob
Bold and refined, this inverted stacked bob creates a dramatic line from a short nape to an elongated front. The steep angle and clean perimeter work well on straight, medium-density hair. The deep espresso color enhances the polished effect, especially when paired with a sleek blowout. Ideal for women with oval or heart-shaped faces, though the precision of this shape demands frequent trims to maintain its sharp structure.
#23 Stacked Bob with Curtain Bangs
Modern and lived-in, this tousled stacked bob features curtain bangs that blend seamlessly into shaggy layers. The slightly piece-y ends and airy volume give it an effortless edge, making it ideal for women with naturally straight to slightly wavy hair. The fringe works especially well on longer or oval face shapes. This cut can add body to fine hair, though blow-drying or a texture spray may be needed to maintain its lift throughout the day.
#24 Stacked Bob with Soft Layers
Full of body and movement, this stacked bob with soft, choppy layers is great for women with thick, wavy hair. The internal layering takes out bulk without losing shape, while the slightly longer front adds softness around the face.

It’s a manageable shape that balances volume beautifully, though curls may require light styling products to keep frizz in check.
#25 Stacked Bob with Side Swept Bangs
Effortlessly elegant, this short stacked bob features wispy side-swept bangs and layered fullness through the back. The feathered texture softens the silhouette, making it a flattering choice for women over 50 with straight or slightly thinning hair. The icy silver-blonde color brightens the complexion and hides natural grays beautifully. While this cut adds instant lift and movement, it can require frequent trims to maintain the shape of the fringe and stacked back.
#26 Chin Length Stacked Bob
Chic and polished, this chin-length stacked bob is perfect for women who want structure without losing softness. The graduated cut builds volume at the crown, while the subtle layering keeps it light around the jawline. Best suited for fine to medium hair with a straight or slightly wavy texture. The warm brunette base with soft caramel highlights adds movement and dimension, especially around the face. It’s low-maintenance but still requires regular shaping to keep the silhouette sharp.
#27 Ivory Swirl Stack
Elegant and age-defying, this ivory-toned stacked bob adds fullness with airy, sculpted waves and layers at the crown. Perfect for aging hair that’s finer or thinner, the curled texture camouflages sparse spots while keeping it light. The soft swoop across the forehead flatters round and square faces alike. It does require styling with a round brush or hot rollers to keep its bounce, but the payoff is a lifted, youthful finish.
#28 Jet Tilt Bob
Polished and dramatic, this jet-black stacked bob is all about structure. Cut with architectural precision, it’s tailored for thick, straight hair—offering incredible natural body without needing much styling. The clean bevel at the nape and angled front subtly lift the cheeks and jaw. Best for oval or longer faces, but can overwhelm fine hair. The rich dark tone is timeless, though roots may show faster on lighter naturals.
#29 Sunset Stack
Flattering for medium to fine hair, this stacked bob pops with a bold peach-rose hue and sharply angled sides. The deep side part enhances facial framing, while the back’s steep graduation adds instant lift. Ideal for straight or lightly wavy textures, it gives volume without bulk. The longer front pieces soften jawlines, especially on oval and heart-shaped faces. Bold color is high-maintenance, though—plan for frequent toning.
#30 Stacked Layered Bob for Fine Hair
Try a stacked layered bob for fine hair if you’re looking to volumize your locks. Low graduation on a medium-length stacked layered bob helps bulk up skimpy ends and adds volume in the crown. Consult with your stylist on a multidimensional blonding service to suit your skin tone.
