27 Contemporary Inverted Bob with Bangs (And Styles to Steer Clear Of)

An inverted bob with bangs is a style of bob haircut that’s shorter at the back and gradually gets longer towards the front and is a pair. A fringed haircut is what you should consider if your goal is to frame and complement your facial structures while adding a dramatic flair to your look!

Short bangs provide an extra touch to any inverted bob haircut, and they are delightfully chic! For a more daring option, full bangs would fit the bill, but you could also choose a side fringe for a gentler appearance.

See how Nina Dobrev, Julianne Hough, and Emma Stone showcased their elegantly styled bobs on the red carpet this year. Baltimore hairstylist Kristyn Wink creates all kinds of inverted bobs with bangs. From loose, layered bobs with wispy bangs to sleek and sharp cuts finished with a full, blunt fringe – demonstrating how adaptable a modern cut can be!

Maintenance and salon visits depend on the length you want to maintain for your hair. A monthly trim would suffice if you aim to sport a playful cut for an extended period.

With the array of combinations available, it can feel overwhelming initially! Don’t worry, as it’s all been curated for you – check out these stunning images of inverted bobs with bangs that you’ll be eager to show your hairdresser right away!

To enhance your inverted bob, think about adding more texture, a shaved side, and micro bangs. These micro bangs can be customized to complement your face shape.

#3: Textured Wavy Bob Featuring Layers and Bangs

A bob with a wavy texture and layered bangs is a style you should consider. An inverted bob presents a classic and stunning shape. You can introduce extra texture and curtain bangs to the design for a contemporary appearance. If you have a narrow jawline, a bob that finishes in the middle of the neck can enhance your face shape. Integrating some highlights can help accentuate the cut and texture.

#4: Jaw-Length Inverted Bob with a Straight Fringe

A sleek jaw-length bob is a timeless hairstyle. It’s commonly styled super smooth for a polished appearance. Additionally, a straight fringe serves not only as a highlight – it’s a striking style choice. These haircuts shine when freshly done. Therefore, maintenance is essential. I suggest a touch-up every 5-6 weeks.

#5: Textured Inverted Bob

A shoulder-length textured inverted bob offers great styling versatility. It retains enough length for a ponytail while being short enough to wear straight, wavy, or curly.

#6: Layered Inverted Bob

A short layered inverted bob is great for thin hair, as it can be quite challenging to give body and form. All of the stacked layers coupled are what your very delicate hair needs.

#8: Layered Inverted Bob with Soft Bangs

Select your preferred shade and inverted bob hairstyle with bangs. One aspect I adore about an inverted haircut is the fusion of contemporary color and a timeless silhouette, particularly with soft bangs. I suggest investing in a quality flat iron and a heat protectant spray to achieve a polished and silky appearance. My top picks include the GHD Platinum+ Styler and Davines ‘This Is An Invisible No Gas Spray.’

#9: Stylish Inverted Bob with Blonde Balayage

A stylish inverted bob with blonde balayage is perfect for thick hair, providing it with a rounded graduation and lovely shape at the nape. Styling it towards the back or over-directing works best for an inverted look. This styling choice relies on the length of the front hair, which is influenced by your face shape. A soft, textured fringe adds a contemporary touch and enhances the eyes.

#10: Textured Long Round Bob with a Bang

The length is kept on the sides for a beautiful profile silhouette. Combine the cut with a gentle, sweeping bang. This bang drapes over the forehead and highlights the face. I suggest using a round brush to create a turned-under effect to achieve the look.

#11: Inverted Bob for Thick Tresses

For a more voluminous appearance, consider incorporating short stacked layers into your bob and bangs. The back should be slightly elevated, enhancing the inverted style.

#12: Asymmetrical Bob with Side Bangs

Your stylish bob can be elevated with side-swept bangs to enhance your alluring facial features.

#13: Layered Inverted Bob with Bangs

Enhance your eyes with a thick set of bangs that perfectly complement your layered inverted bob. The grey highlights further accentuate the layers beautifully.
