A long A-line bob is a mid-length bob hairstyle shorter at the back and considerably longer in the front. Renowned stylists and celebrities have recently adopted long A-line bobs for their chic image, remarkable versatility, and more!
Leading the list of stars who favor the A-line lob are Taraji Henson, Rosamund Pike, Jessica Chastain, and Gwyneth Paltrow. A popular choice, it’s incredibly wearable due to the length you can achieve and style to suit your preference.
Be sure to check your face shape and neck length first so you can determine whether to create an angle that is either subtle or striking. Long and oval faces are generally the most compatible types to pair with a medium cut.
Are you considering a low-maintenance option? If that’s your situation, you’re making a smart choice because a mid-length hairstyle can last up to 3 months between trims. Say hello to this year’s top long A-line bob hairstyles.

This trendy and fun long red a-line bob with fringe features choppy layers! To create volume and movement, I included plenty of layering. She also sports a shorter side bang that I texturized. It’s one of my favorite haircuts to create for clients. The color is a glossy, berry red that enhances her stunning complexion and vibrant personality.
#2: Deep-Rooted Crimson A-Line Hair
An inverted bob showcases a classic a-line style. It maintains a more subtle transition from short to long. Its ends are crimson, while the root color remains deeper.
#3 Textured Long A-Line Bob for Fine Hair
Consider a dimensional layered bob. It’s great for people with fine to medium hair. It makes them look like they have more hair! My favorite thing about layered bobs is that everything is subtle. The color has a soft dimension, and the layers are light, but they stand out more with the curl we added.
#4: Extended Wedge Bob Haircut
This bob hairstyle is longer and showcases prominently stacked layers. The cut features a distinct transition from shorter to longer lengths.

This sleek, long layered A-line bob showcases a tapered and subtly tousled appearance that contributes to volume and movement. Perfect for individuals with medium to thick hair, the layers help to accentuate the face while preserving a smooth, refined look. The precision cut tapers gracefully at the nape, highlighting the hair’s natural luster and dimension. This chic, easy-to-maintain choice provides a contemporary and sophisticated style, suitable for any face shape.
#6: A-Line Lob featuring Bangs
A long a-line bob with bangs embodies modern elegance. My favorite aspect of an a-line lob is the sleek angle combined with the bangs. It transforms your basic shoulder-length hair into an edgy style, and offers a variety of styling options!
#7: Casual Tousled Straight Long Bob
You can create a casual, tousled, straight, long bob! With a bit of styling, sleek and sharp bobs can achieve a fresh look. For a more refined finish, apply a smoothing serum and use your flat iron. To attain a tousled vibe, complete styling with an extra-large round brush and some dry texture spray.
#8: Elegant Long Bob for Dense Hair
Experience a luxurious, sleek look that moves gracefully with you! The center part acts as the ideal accent to your style.
#9: Medium-Length Center Part Bob
A polished A-line bob is perfect if you’re seeking a standout style. Trim it slightly shorter at the nape without layering. It should progressively increase in length towards the face. Style your bob with a center part for a striking appearance that exudes effortless chic.
#10: Effortless Classic A-Line Bob
You’ll look fabulous with an effortless, classic a-line bob. Alongside the single-length layers, your unique style will shine. You can easily blow dry it with a large round brush, but ensure the lower part of the hair remains straight and not curled under. This hairstyle is great for those with round face shapes, but those with narrow face shapes should avoid this style.
#11: Dark Angled Bob with Delicate Highlights
A dark angled bob can be styled higher at the nape and longer at the front. This look combines the appeal of both short and long hair. You can incorporate delicate shades to create interest and dimension. If your hair is fine, consult your stylist for a blunter shape and thicker color placement. This can enhance the fullness of your hair.
#12: Timeless Lived-In A-Line Bob
A timeless, lived-in, a-line bob can be beneficial for ladies who prefer a low-maintenance haircut. While this style may not require regular visits, make sure to schedule appointments every 6-8 weeks at minimum. Furthermore, consider inquiring if your salon provides clean-up sessions, which can be quicker while ensuring your cut stays fresh.
#13: Easy Graduated Long Bob
If you desire a timeless, effortless, and stylish appearance, a bob cut is an excellent option. For a more contemporary vibe, choose a hairstyle with a shorter back and sides that cascade lower, giving the illusion of longer hair. A helpful suggestion is to regularly trim your hair because when the hair at the back grows longer, it naturally tends to flick out.
#14: A-Line Cut with Straight Bangs
Straight short bangs enhance any haircut beautifully. They highlight your stunning eyes and provide an open look to your face. They convey a sense of confidence and poise, ideal if you wish to make an impression. Combine these bangs with a striking haircut for a polished and elegant appearance.

#17: Stylish A-Line Inverted Lob
An elegant a-line inverted lob works excellently for fine, straight hair. The cut highlights the fullness of your locks, creating a sharp, blunt outline.

Styling with a round brush or a flat iron brings an added touch of sleek, smooth sophistication.

All the geometry in an a-line cut is a delightful ruffled manner. An A-line lob haircut is perfect for that refined charm.

This hairstyle features a bob in the back and a lob in the front. It’s the dual-style cut you’ve been searching for.
#20 Collarbone-Length Inverted A-Line Bob
If you’re considering a chic haircut but feel hesitant, an A-line bob that grazes your collarbone might be the perfect solution. This hairstyle is shorter in the back, creating the impression of shorter hair. Meanwhile, the longer lengths on the sides frame your face and shoulders beautifully. Opt for a design featuring a strong, thick baseline with some layering. This look will provide your hair with a lively appearance.
#21: Asymmetrical Lob Featuring a Bold Side Part
An asymmetrical bob always appears stunning with a bold side part. Other styles can also complement this haircut, but the deep side part integrates even more harmoniously with the front-lengthened face frame.
#22: Bronde Tresses with Extended Choppy Bob Style
Bronde tresses are capturing all the trends this season. This hue provides a subtle lightening effect without being overly dramatic. It’s a versatile shade that complements various individuals. An elongated layered bob, which gradually increases in length at the front, highlights the strands of color, particularly when some layers are styled in loose waves. Maintain vibrant tones by using a color-safe shampoo.
#23 Elegant Asymmetrical A-Line Bob
A few uneven angles can elevate your appearance from average to stunning! This cut works beautifully on thick hair, with all the center parts enhancing your face shape even further.
#24: Stylish A-Line Bronde Long Bob

#25: Angled Layers in Long Bobbed Styles
You can still enjoy some length around the face, even with a shorter angled bob. This haircut features layers that blend into the neckline, creating a favored rounded silhouette at the bottom.

The lob, or long bob, has multiple layers, creating an inverted, stacked appearance. The A-line features a pronounced transition from short at the back to longer at the front. Additionally, the hair is colored a deep, lustrous black.
#27: Stylish A-Line with a Side Part
Creating an a-line bob with a side part is flattering for various face shapes. It adds a unique dimension, setting it apart from other styles. This cut can be customized to suit any hair texture, making it fantastic for styling flexibility, too! For added volume and definition, I recommend using a round brush. A smoothing serum is the ideal product to pair with your flat iron. Try Paul Mitchell Superskinny Serum!
#28: Angular Side-Parted Graduated Bob Cut
The graduated bob showcases a sleek transition from shorter to longer lengths. This hairstyle features a clean cut with minimal layers. It’s also elegantly styled with a side part.
#29: Defined A-Line with Layered Volume
A true A-line bob features a distinct short and long point. It’s a finely crafted style that demands significant skill to achieve. A round beveled shape layer results in a full, stacked look rather than simply adding texture. I highly recommend blow-drying this style with a round brush, directing it towards the nape and face.

You’ll look stunning in a chic jet black a-line cut. Having your hair cut above the shoulders can help you achieve the clean line of this style.

When you blow dry your hair, I suggest using a large metal barrel round brush for optimal control. Jet black color is an excellent accent and will reflect light for remarkable shine.
#33: Stylish Long Choppy A-Line Bob

The “invisible layers” enhance the blunt silhouette while introducing movement. The invisible layers can easily be tousled for texture or smoothed for a polished look.

Opt for a long a-line bob style with light wispy textured ends and soft layers. I gave her baby lights and balayaged her previously lightened ends to achieve a more luminous look.

For a stylish angled bob, it’s essential to keep your nape area trimmed short. This will maintain a flattering shape without looking too boxy. Be sure to communicate your preferred side length with your stylist, as they’ll advise on the ideal length for the back. Pro tip: For an effortlessly chic finish, dry the ends of the hair beneath.
#41: Deep Maroon A-Line Bob with Center Partition

This stunning haircut features an elegant dark brown center-parted a-line. If you have been contemplating a transition to shorter hair, a long bob or a-line haircut is an ideal choice. The best aspect of this style is the flexibility to pull your hair back or into a ponytail. It’s still sufficiently long in the front if you’re concerned about the length. Request your stylist to preserve as much length as possible in the front to keep a sophisticated silhouette.
#45: A-Line Bob Hairstyle with Straight Ends
An a-line bob hairstyle with straight ends is an eye-catching look. To create the most striking effect, I recommend not incorporating any layers. Avoiding layers will result in a smooth, one-length finish. Ask your stylist to cut the nape slightly shorter for a beautiful, modern shape. Dry your hair using a large round brush while ensuring the hair’s outline remains straight, not rounded.
#46 Stylishly Shaped A-Line Bob
An angled a-line bob is an excellent option for women seeking a defined shape without going too short. Keep in mind that the length should accommodate the shoulders and may flip out if not trimmed short enough, but the front can remain longer.
#47: Chic Inverted Thick Lob
For voluminous hair, opting for an A-line bob is a smart choice to avoid excessive bulk around the jaw and softening the facial features. The A-line silhouette is elevated at the back, permitting longer layers towards the nape that seamlessly create a beveled shape, tucking under instead of puffing out. To maintain a sleek appearance, style the hair smooth and straight while drying.
#48: Precision A-Line Lob
Consider this precision lob if you prefer a blunt style. It’s best to refrain from adding texture. To maintain this look, schedule regular salon visits to keep your edges looking crisp.
