A concave bob features angled layers, where the front strands are longer than those in the back. The length can vary from the jawline to the neckline.
Jessa Mae Fabria is a hair specialist based in Ontario, Canada, with 14 years of experience in cuts and styles. She notes that this look is perfect for women who prefer short and sleek hairstyles. It’s also great for those who can add a curve to the ends while styling their hair.
Two crucial questions to pose to your stylist are — “Will this haircut suit me? How much maintenance will it require?” The answer to the first question hinges on your face shape and features. The second explores how frequently you should visit the salon for trims.
“These conversations are essential between you and your stylist, ensuring that both parties understand the expectations,” explains Fabria. Some women choose this haircut but end up dissatisfied with the outcome. Why? As Fabria points out, many are unsure how to style this cut. “A blowout brush is a necessary tool when styling a concave haircut,” she advises. Fabria also emphasizes that a bob like this isn’t suitable for a wash-and-go routine. Thus, ensure you have time to style your hair before opting for this cut.

Effortless Sleek Concave Bob
If you have very straight hair, an effortless sleek concave bob is the ideal haircut for you. With an a-line bob, you are giving your hair maximum body and fullness in the back while creating a striking, sleek angle in the front.

This is the only effort it will take in order to maintain this effortless bob if you already have naturally straight hair.
Chic Inverted Blunt Bob Ideas for Women Over 60
If you’re a woman over 60, think about opting for an inverted blunt bob. A chin-length bob flatters a variety of face shapes and hair textures. This inverted blunt bob is among the top styles; it’s simple to style and represents a classic, timeless aesthetic.
Neck-Length Curved Lob
Consider a neck-length curved long bob if you love a haircut that provides instantaneous volume and shape. Cutting your hair into a curved hairstyle gives you volume in the back, a fun dramatic shape on the side, and a longer smooth look in the front. You can wear this hairstyle both straight or curly, depending on your natural hair texture and preference.
Inverted Bob with Lighter Highlights
An inverted bob with lighter highlights is a trendy choice. To keep it looking vibrant, maintain a long angle at the front. Consult your stylist for beveled layers at the back, which add volume and create a tucked appearance to enhance your profile. Opt for a subtle color by incorporating fine streaks in your desired hue. Regular trims every 6 weeks are advised to keep this style in top shape.
Stylish Medium Concave Bob with Edgy Ends
You’ll want a stylish medium concave bob with edgy ends to enjoy its tousled texture. Concave bob haircuts are created with layers that are point cut or razor cut on the ends for that edgy look. You’ll want to blow dry your hair smooth first with a medium round brush for shine. Next, try curling your hair with a wand and leaving the ends straight. A funky curl on a tousled bob is one of the most appealing shapes.
Chin-Length Concave Bob Featuring Full Bangs
A concave bob combined with full bangs will bring a striking shape to your chin-length hairstyle. If you have naturally straight hair, this haircut won’t require extra styling time, as it will look stunning all on its own. You’ll want to ensure that when cutting your short concave bob with a fringe, you address the fringe first; cutting the longer lengths in the front afterward may compromise the fresh concave shape created.
Chic Very Short Angled Choppy Bob for Fine Hair
Your fine hair will look stunning with a chic very short angled choppy bob. A very short concave bob can create the illusion of thicker hair. Ensure that your stylist incorporates texture to your cut for added movement and visual interest. I recommend using a texture paste on your ends to highlight your style. Experiment with your part to achieve maximum lift at the top.
Elegant Long Concave Bob for Fine Hair
Consider a long concave bob if you have fine hair and find it challenging to discover a hairstyle that imparts the illusion of fullness and thickness. A shoulder-length bob serves as an ideal length because with fine hair, your strands can appear crispy and uneven at the ends, leading to breakage. This hairstyle will empower women over 50 to wholeheartedly embrace their hair and may even inspire a renewed interest in styling.
Elegant Concave Blonde Bob
Consider an elegant concave bob if you have medium to thick hair. A concave haircut complements thicker hair textures well because the rounded layers at the nape of your neck minimize weight from the bottom and contribute to a flattering rounded shape. To style this haircut, you would need to tousle dry and then use a large round brush to set it in place. The larger the brush, the less curve you achieve in the style, helping you avoid making the cut appear overly round.
Concave Cut Featuring Delicate Layers
A concave haircut with subtle layers will add texture to anyone’s hair. This haircut is sleek and stylish. It’s ideal for individuals with fine hair seeking added volume or those with unruly hair needing control.
Bronde Curved Short Hairstyle
If you’re seeking a style with longer strands in the front and shorter in the back, a bronde curved short hairstyle is ideal. If your hair is thick and unruly and you’re looking for a more manageable look, this haircut is for you.
Stylish Concave Undercut Bob
A chic bob paired with an undercut has a stunning shape that will make you feel modern and sharp. You’ll want the nape undercut cut extra short for maximum impact. Ask your stylist to graduate your hair from that point to give you excellent lines. Layers are added to your cut for texture throughout the top, and you’ll want to dry them with a medium-round brush. A short concave bob with an undercut is a visual delight that makes heads turn.
Elegant Concave Long Bob for Dark Hair
An elegant concave long bob is a striking, sleek choice for dark hair. The sharp shape and blunt edges of this crop highlight how rich and deep dark hair colors can be.
Elegant Silver Concave Bob
If you’re a woman of grace with thick hair, a silver concave bob is an excellent hairstyle to explore in order to achieve a refined, sophisticated look. You can blow dry your bob hairstyle with a large round brush to help smooth your hair out and create the form you desire. The best recommendation for maintaining a concave bob is to ensure you are prepared to devote some extra time in the mornings to style this lovely haircut.
Casual Wavy Brunette Bob
A casual, wavy brunette bob is a playful and charming style. When asking for a messy bob be sure to talk to your stylist about texturizing your hair. Texturizing will help to keep your hair from being so heavy and creates movement. When styling your hair, don’t forget to use a texture spray. One of my favorite texture sprays is Kevin Murphy Bedroom hair.
Stylish Concave Graduated Bob Cut
Consider trying a concave graduated bob cut if you’re seeking a short hairstyle that adds thickness and volume. A contemporary inverted bob is typically shorter at the back and longer at the front. The angle will be more pronounced based on how short the back is and how long the front is. Ensure that while cutting a concave bob looks like this, you tilt your hair when cutting to avoid any hidden hairs underneath sticking out. This will help you achieve a flawless, straight line.
Textured A-Line Bob Hairstyle
Explore a textured a-line bob if you seek a hairstyle that adds both volume and fullness. With a shorter back and longer front, this concave shape provides the volume and thickness desired in the back. Additionally, allowing some hair around your face to remain soft imparts movement and shape to your hair. Smoothing this hairstyle while blow drying using a round brush will significantly reduce styling time, curving the ends under with the brush.
Wavy Stacked Bob with a Side Part
A wavy stacked bob paired with a side part is an excellent hairstyle to create volume and body. With a concave cut, you will have a shorter length at the nape of your neck and a longer length angled toward your face. This provides more volume in the back of your haircut while still keeping a longer length in the front. You should consider how pronounced of an angle you’d like your bob to have and the shortest and longest points of your hair to be.
Chic Shoulder-Length Bob Featuring a Side Fringe
Embrace a sophisticated yet youthful vibe? You can achieve both with a long concave bob styled with a fringe. This shoulder-length bob with a side fringe offers a flattering option for those who appreciate versatility. Whether straight, wavy, curly, or coily, this haircut can be tailored to suit every hair texture.
Voluminous Bob with Angled Feathered Layers
A voluminous, angled bob hairstyle with feathered layers looks fantastic! If you appreciate a stylish, straight cut, this one is ideal. Schedule your hairstyle maintenance appointments ahead of time to keep it looking polished at all times.
Layered Feathered Concave Bob
A playful and layered feathered concave bob can introduce some movement into your hair that might otherwise appear flat. Your short layered concave bob can be styled with a small-medium round brush for a light and airy look, yet when paired with Redken’s Big blowout, the style can be enhanced to endure with this heat-protecting blowout jelly.
Chic Short Bob with Side Bangs
Struggling to maintain volume at the crown of your head? Consider opting for a chic short bob with side bangs. This hairstyle is shorter at the back and longer at the front, delivering extra volume exactly where you need it.
Elegant Concave Bob
Looking to add some bounce to your hairstyle? An elegant concave bob is the vintage wedge cut reimagined in its classic bob form, skillfully tailored to highlight your best features. Exposing the neck adds a touch of femininity that can enhance your personal style.
