You want something short, curly, and full of shape—that’s exactly why the stacked curly bob keeps coming up in your searches. Whether your curls are soft waves or tighter coils, the real key to getting this cut right is in the angle and how much internal weight you take out. Too much bulk in the back and your curls will balloon out; too little, and you lose the structure that makes this cut so flattering. I always tell clients: stacked bobs work best when your curls are hydrated, layered precisely, and styled with a product that defines without weighing down. And if your curls shrink when dry? You must cut it dry or at least diffuse before refining the shape.
Scroll through and save the looks that match your curl pattern and hair density—those details matter more than face shape.
#1 Short Stacked Curly Bob
Defined curls and a rounded, cropped shape make this short stacked curly bob a go-to for thick, naturally curly hair. The cut builds soft volume at the crown while hugging the nape closely, creating that stacked silhouette without bulk. Ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces, this style adds youthful bounce but may need regular shaping to prevent the back from growing out too quickly.
#2 Blonde Stacked Curly Bob
Warm blonde tones and bouncy, medium curls bring softness to this stacked curly bob. The subtle layering adds movement without thinning out the density, which suits medium to thick hair best. It flatters square and round face shapes, and the structured perimeter keeps the curls from overwhelming the face. Keep in mind, blonde tones may require extra moisture to avoid dryness.
#3 Grey Curly Stacked Bob
A modern choice for embracing natural grey, this curly stacked bob uses rounded layering to build fullness without weight. Great for fine to medium textures, especially if you’re transitioning to grey. It adds a youthful lift around the face and softens jawlines. The downside? Grey curls can feel drier, so hydration and frizz control are key to keeping this polished.
#4 Layered Stacked Curly Bob
This layered stacked curly bob pops with rich copper color and full, round curls. The layering keeps the bulk balanced while allowing curls to form naturally—great for thicker, high-density hair. It’s flattering on longer face shapes since the width adds balance. Just know that layered curls can get frizzy without leave-in or curl cream, especially in humid weather.
#5 Stacked Curly Bob for Oval Face
Perfect for an oval face, this stacked bob uses relaxed curls and a light side part to soften and frame naturally balanced features. The layering lifts the curls off the neck while giving just enough shape in the back. Great for medium-density hair that holds a loose curl. Low-maintenance, but the look can fall flat without scrunching or diffusing during styling.
#6 Bouncy Stacked Curly Bob
Lively and full of movement, this bouncy stacked curly bob is all about body and lightness. The rich auburn color enhances the dimension in the curls, and the cut uses rounded layering to prevent pyramid shape while boosting spring. Perfect for medium to thick curl textures. It’s easygoing, but you’ll want to refresh the top layers with a curl cream between wash days to keep the lift intact.
#7 Short Stacked Curly Bob for Older Women
Soft silver curls and a neat fringe shape this short stacked bob into a graceful and age-appropriate cut for older women embracing their natural texture. The curl size is small and even, with the stacked back gently building volume while keeping length off the shoulders. This shape flatters oval and diamond faces especially well. Silver curls can go dry fast, so a lightweight leave-in is a must to maintain shine and bounce.
#8 Defined Curls in Stacked Bob Cut
Defined, shiny ringlets form a classic stacked shape in this bob cut, making it a great choice for anyone with high-density type 3 curls. The structure lifts the crown without creating bulk at the ends, giving the whole cut a rounded silhouette that’s easy to style and keeps its shape. Great for oval and heart-shaped faces, though curl definition like this typically needs a leave-in and curl gel cocktail for longevity.
#9 Stacked Curly Bob with Face Framing Layers
Soft, layered silver curls fall gently around the face in this stacked bob, offering a flattering lift for mature features. The face-framing layers keep things light and soft at the jawline while the back builds shape. Perfect for naturally wavy to curly textures with medium density. While it enhances volume beautifully, curls at this length need gentle product layering to stay hydrated and defined.
#10 Undercut Stacked Curly Bob
Edgy and bold, this undercut stacked bob combines tight curls on top with a shaved side underneath. The dramatic sweep and volume make it ideal for confident curl wearers with thicker hair types. The contrast gives structure and coolness, but it’s not a wash-and-go look—you’ll need precision styling and upkeep for that undercut to stay sharp and defined.
#11 Stacked Curly Bob with Bangs
This bob uses tight curls and a full fringe to create a bold, structured look. The stacked back adds shape while the curly bangs blend seamlessly, framing the eyes without overpowering. Ideal for high-density curls and fuller face shapes. It’s high-maintenance—you’ll need to style the bangs daily to prevent shrinkage or uneven curl patterns around the forehead.
#12 Side Parted Stacked Curly Bob
With a deep side part and rich brunette color, this stacked bob gives gorgeous definition and volume. The curl pattern is tight and uniform, creating lift at the roots and softness around the chin. It’s a flattering choice for asymmetrical facial features and works best on medium-density curls. Styling requires effort to maintain that deep part without flattening the other side.
#13 Choppy Layers in Stacked Curly Bob
Defined by its choppy ends and warm caramel highlights, this stacked bob adds movement and texture to curly hair. The layering technique lightens the bulk without removing too much volume, making it great for thick or dense curls. It enhances natural definition but may need a shaping product or light gel to keep layers from looking too unruly throughout the day.
#14 Messy Stacked Curly Bob
This style plays up the “perfectly imperfect” texture of curls with its messy, tousled shape. The stacked structure is subtle, with layers creating a soft halo that avoids harsh lines. Suited for fine to medium curls that don’t clump heavily. It’s a relaxed, low-fuss look, but it might not give as much volume control for curl types that frizz easily or lack definition.
#15 Voluminous Stacked Curly Bob
Full-bodied and bouncy, this stacked curly bob thrives on volume. The curls are dense and round, forming a mushroom-like shape that’s both playful and bold. Works best on thick, high-density curl types. A great way to make a statement, but it can be overwhelming on petite faces and may require shaping often to avoid puffiness around the jaw.
#16 Tapered Stacked Curly Bob
Tapered at the nape and fuller up top, this stacked curly bob leans toward a sculpted silhouette. The neckline is cut close and clean, ideal for highlighting the jawline and elongating the neck. Best for tighter curls and high-density textures. This is a striking, confident look but not for those wanting styling versatility—you’re committing to structure here.
#17 Stacked Curly Bob for Round Face
This stacked curly bob is tailored beautifully for a round face shape, with volume concentrated at the crown and a gentle inward bevel that balances out fullness at the cheeks. The dense, springy curls create softness without widening the face too much. Ideal for high-density curls, but keep in mind the fringe will need regular shaping to avoid a boxy silhouette over time.
#18 Naturally Curly Stacked Bob
Tight spirals and warm coppery highlights give this stacked bob definition and depth. The cut lifts at the back and rounds forward, keeping the fullness controlled while letting coils bounce freely. Best suited for type 3 to 4 curl patterns with high density. A great option for oval or heart-shaped faces, but the cut needs strategic shaping to avoid triangle bulk—ask for internal layering to help.
#19 Shaggy Stacked Curly Bob
The shag-inspired layering in this stacked curly bob adds a youthful, undone texture to silver curls. Great for aging hair with natural wave or curl, it lifts the crown and lightens the perimeter without making it too thin. The wispy bangs help soften the face, especially flattering for rectangular and oval shapes. This cut thrives with curl cream and a diffuser but can lose shape without proper layering.
#20 Angled Stacked Curly Bob
Here’s a chin-length curly bob that angles forward subtly, adding a soft frame to the cheekbones. The stacked back gives height, while the front keeps some length to elongate the face—great for square and round faces. Ideal for looser curl patterns and medium hair density. While the structure holds its shape, you might need diffusing or pin-curling to get the angle to show daily.
#21 Pixie Bob with Curly Stacked Shape
Short, bold, and sculpted—this pixie bob uses a stacked shape to give thick, coarse curls a clean outline. The tapered neckline keeps things neat while the top stays full and lively. It works well for petite face shapes or anyone wanting a low-maintenance yet stylish curly cut. Just know: it’s short, so you’ll lose length versatility but gain ease in styling.
#22 Inverted Stacked Curly Bob
This inverted stacked curly bob leans more dramatic, with a steep graduation from nape to front. The dimensional coloring, with darker roots and lighter ends, enhances the shape and adds visual depth. Perfect for medium-density curls that need lift and movement without too much bulk. It does require commitment—shaping in the back needs maintenance every 6–8 weeks to keep that crisp line.
#23 Brunette Stacked Curly Bob
This brunette stacked bob features a soft asymmetrical curve, enhanced by a deep side part and defined curls. The shaping in the back lifts the style without losing length in front, which elongates the face nicely—great for rounder face shapes. Works well on naturally curly, medium-density hair. It’s eye-catching but may require curl-enhancing products to keep definition.
#24 Curlcade Haircut
The Curlcade is a sculpted stacked bob with structured spirals cascading forward and volume concentrated in the back. The tight curls are cut with precision to lift and layer without crowding the crown. It’s best suited for naturally curly hair that holds its shape—especially type 3A to 3B textures. The look is polished but bold, though the back layers may flatten if you don’t diffuse properly during styling.
#25 Bobbelle Haircut
The Bobbelle haircut brings elegance to the stacked curly bob with a graceful curve that hugs the nape and flows into soft, side-swept curls. Great for looser curl patterns and fine to medium densities, this cut balances structure and softness effortlessly. The shape makes it perfect for formal or professional settings, though the side sweep will require styling to keep its shape day to day.
