The most easily overlooked thing about having a bob with bangs is just how much it can change with different people wearing it, and of course, different people cutting it. I’ve had people walk in with the same bob as someone I’ve done before, and leave looking completely different. It’s not because I did a different cut, but because of where some of the details are. Where the weight sits, how much hangs over the forehead, or whether the ends are cut under or left out can create a huge difference, and are the little details that are big in the reflection.
I think of a client I had a long time ago who was a teacher and was probably in her late forties. She had been growing her hair out for what felt like a decade. One day, we were talking in her appointment and she said she just wanted a bob with bangs. The way she said it just felt really good. It felt like she was giving herself permission to do it. We cut her hair to chin length and gave her a soft fringe, that barely grazed her eyebrows. She just sat in front of the mirror and smiled for a minute without saying anything. It was so fulfilling to see how happy she was with the hair. The thing I love about this bob is that it doesn’t hide her. It puts her face front and center and when it’s done well that’s just what people need. I have included a ton of examples of bobs with bangs that I think are really good inspiration while you wait for your appointment to roll around.
#1: Raven Layered Bob with Wispy Bangs That Actually Move
I love how every layer is so subtle and natural looking. The volume at the mid-lengths gives off an obvious technique and the bangs look like they just fell this way. It’s great if you want to keep it simple, since dark hair with light layering gives dimension without color work. This kind of movement is great for fine to medium hair, and from a wash and go it offers good body. Dark hair bangs show every millimeter of growth, so you’ll have to get used to trimming between appointments. A good color protect shampoo helps the natural depth look its best.
#2: Shoulder-Length Brushed Bob with a Side Fringe That Plays Well with Glasses
I suggest this specific style to my clients with glasses who are annoyed with their hair fighting with their frames. With the side-feathered bangs the lenses will be free of hair while the shoulder length cut softens the look so that it isn’t too corporate. The babylight face framing is a subtle highlight that brightens the shadow area created by the frames that most people wouldn’t ask for, but will notice. You will need a 28mm curling iron, or a round brush, to achieve that inward bend, particularly if your hair is straight to wavy. If your hair is coarse or tightly curled, that shape may be difficult for you.
#3: Chin-Length Bob with a Side Fringe That Knows Where It’s Going
This style is a perfect example of a chin length bob that radiates calm self assurance, and the over-directed side fringe that purposefully crosses the forehead is unique. Also, the interior graduation of the nape that allows for a gentle inward tuck without the stacking. This cut is designed to be at a length that will cleanly frame the jaw, and it does so quite well. I’ll be authentic, this look is quite polished, but that does mean it is higher in maintenance for this side sweep to stay in place. You will need to do some heat work in the morning to keep it in the position you desire. I think that it looks the best on medium to fine hair but if you happen to have coarse and thick hair, then I think you will lose the sleekness and end up fighting against the cut itself.
#4 Rounded Chin-Length Bob with Face-Framing Layers and a Soft Root Melt
Instagram: lameri_elitehairstudio
What an amazing synergy of color and shape! There is no single element that dominates here. The hairline babylights that blend so seamlessly to a natural root are a huge compliment to the colorist for how organic it looks. The internal beveling keeps enough weight at the perimeter to curve in at the jaw and the face framing layers prevent too much heaviness around the cheeks. It’s a lovely balance for fine to medium hair that tends to fall flat. This shape is very well rounded to create volume where it is most desired. The trade-off is that this type of style does require heat to keep that roll. It will lose a lot of definition without a blowout to keep it looking fresh and will relax to a looser shape. This is probably fine for a weekend but certainly not what is pictured for everyday wear.
#5: Geometric Chin-Length Bob with a Blunt Micro Fringe
Choosing and committing to this cut is so appreciated! The micro fringe is blunt, the weight line is sleek, and the intentional inward jaw tuck is on point. I appreciate the lack of softening, so thank you for no feathering and no person-pleasing at this cut. This specific kind of geometric cutting is way more advantageous than a layered cut because it will pull itself together between appointments on really dense and straight hair. The perimeter looks clean and the internal graduation gets rid of the bulk without disturbing the overall look. What’s challenging about this cut is the honesty of the shape. A crown cowlick, uneven bangs, any asymmetry in the way the hair grows, and hair growth patterns, it all shows. I would probably want to do a dry cut on the bangs and I would want the client to know that maintenance is non-negotiable. It’s the most important part of the entire relationship.
#6: Ash-Blonde Chin-Length Bob with a Long Diagonal Sweep
Diagonal Side Sweeps add movement to the hair, which can be ideal for round shaped faces. It can also add an angled line which moves vertically rather than horizontally across the face. By adding length to the chin, it offers definition to the jaw line but will not cut into the cheeks. The inner shorter layers will give movement to the crown, which is crucial at this length. It also looks like it needs it, and the “root shadow” means you won’t have to visit the salon every month for a full touch up. Platinums this light will require toning often to keep it looking cool and fine strands will need heat along with a light weight product to provide lift. The result is a style that looks expensive and effortless which can be challenging to achieve.
#7: Graduated Chin-Grazing Bob with See-Through Bangs That Breathe
See-through bangs can look really cool and vintage, but if they aren’t styled right, they might just make you look like your bangs are growing out. It all comes down to the cut, and the cut is done very well. The perimeter of the bangs has been point cut to break the bluntness and weight, as well the shallow nape gradation that suggests a tuck without giving that feel of full commitment to a full nape. This cut has that quality that gives an impression of having just rolled out of bed, and it’s amazing if you have straight or slightly wavy hair. The bangs will also separate if there’s any humidity, and t will take a lot of styling for them to look nice and sit well. That’s the trade off for see-through bangs, and it’s a fair one.
#8: Chin-Length Flared Bob with a Center-Split Fringe Built for Glasses
We appreciate the attention given to the face and glasses when cutting hair. The center-split bangs are cut to just the right length so they don’t get stuck in the hinges. That small detail cuts down daily frustrations by a large amount. The internal layering at the nape is just enough to let the ends flip out and with fine to medium hair at the flip creates more of a thickness at the jaw. A round brush will get you there in no time in the morning. You might want to carry a small flat iron to control the bangs or just embrace the movement. In the afternoon, they can separate and do their own thing.
#9: Chin-Grazing Bob with Blunt See-Through Bangs and a Subtle Flip
A standard inward-tucking bob doesn’t have the same energy as this style. This looks much younger and carefree, especially paired with the wispy bangs. Your maintenance will be made easier with the natural root shadow because it will allow an effortless grow-out look rather than a harsh line. The bangs need careful vertical slicing to achieve that sheer look and avoid them looking accidentally thin. There’s an underlayer that is short and visible which assists with shaping the flip. This will be an extremely quick style in the morning on straight and medium density hair, and even quicker on day two hair.
#10: Jet-Black Chin-Length Bob with a Soft Blunt Fringe
This style is clean, and accurate when done correctly. The line of weight is precise, the fringe sits evenly, and the internal graduation finishes with no bulk at the tuck in the jaw. The style works well with medium/thick straight hair as the hair holds everything well. The fringe covers the whole forehead creating a dark, glossy, and natural appearance. I will be honest and say this is a lot of maintainance. You will have to do round-brush blowouts daily or flat iron it to keep it smooth. The bangs grow out quickly and will need to be trimmed frequently.
#11: Chin-Length Wispy Bob with Cropped Bangs and Textured Ends
The use of bangs adds a nice touch of French style to the hairstyle. One can imagine that the owner has some very strong opinions about cinema, although she’s not going to tell you about them. The internal point cutting and texturizing of the bangs removes some weight from the hair, so that the ends flick under about to the jaw. Some of the subtle asymmetry in the lengths can frame the face a bit more, especially when there is more length on one side. During the day, the ends can go a bit crazy and fly out. Plus, the bangs also need to be smoothed everyday to sit properly. Even with the overall neat appearance, it will take some effort to achieve the look and that is the best kind of hairstyle.
#12: Precision Chin-Grazing Bob with an Eyebrow-Skimming Fringe
This is a haircut that has one purpose, and does it quite perfectly. The blunt bangs are placed right on the eyebrows, the weight line at the chin is perfectly clean, and the inner graduation gives just enough shape to tuck the ends under without any visible stacking. For straight, medium density hair, you shouldn’t have to do more than a quick blowout to shape the tuck. What I would be careful of is the full fringe becoming too heavy or helmet-like if it’s not thinned out on the inside. One or two passes of internal point cutting lets it breathe without losing the bluntness. This fringe won’t work with coarse or very curly hair, but with the right hair it is as polished as a bob can get.
#13: Ash-Brown Chin-Grazing Bob with a Sheer Center-Split Fringe
A neutral ash-brown color is modern enough to not wash people out, and looks great with the blunt cut. The internal point cutting makes a boxy shape less severe, and the short face-framing pieces adds dimension around the cheekbones without actually being layers. The micro-fringe and center parting combo shifts the whole vibe of the cut. Fine to medium hair may need some root lift product or a bit of subtle internal layering to keep the crown from looking flat by midday. The bangs will need shaping on a daily basis (which is the case with just about every good set of bangs).
#14: Inward-Tucked Short Bob with a Fringe That Lets Light Through
The sheer style fringe creates a different experience for the eyes. It draws the eye but does not have the heaviness of full bangs, and the inward tuck around the jaw lifts and flatters the cheeks nicely. For that effect, we have the interior graduation coupled with point cutting on the ends. The crown is a toned plum-red which adds depth not usually found in the base color alone. The fringe will take some careful cutting and daily smoothing. Not ideal for very coarse or tightly curled hair, this style could be stunning for the right person. On fine to medium straight hair, you’ll achieve the best look with anything from a round brush blow dry to a gentle slide with a straightener.
#15: Rounded Chin-Length Bob with a Layered Side Fringe That Flips Under
I like the inward flip with this style. It gives the illusion of having a mind of its own, and this cut is a perfect example of technique with point cutting on the edges and micro-weighting at the nape. What really does the trick is the internal layered graduation; this gives the crown enough elevation to counterbalance the weighted ends and flip. The layered side fringe ties the whole look together so it doesn’t seem like a disjointed feature. This cut will work best with medium to thick hair, straight or wavy as the volume will hold the shape well all day. Finer or looser hair will need a bit more help with this, perhaps some root texturizing or a strong blow dry.
#16: Espresso Bob with a Sheer Vertical Fringe at Chin Length
I typically don’t love when a cut looks good when it air dries, but this is one of those instances. The tight internal graduations along with a narrow weight line on the perimeter give a shape to the nape that holds without any styling. The vertically cut bangs also add a level of translucence so that they’re not too heavy and weighing down the forehead. With fine to medium straight hair, this shade of espresso looks and feels extremely luxurious. The only thing to keep in mind is that due to the shape this style uses, more of the cowlicks will show, so on those days, a straightening product may be a good idea. This is not the best style for coarse curly hair, but for those who fit the requirement, it is one of the more sophisticated styles in this range.
#17: Rounded Bob with Micro-Sliced Bangs That Create Their Own Texture
Micro slicing creates thin ladder-like openings in the texture that add to the fringe while keeping the rest of the cut smooth and rounded. This provides a nice contrast. Internal graduation at the nape provides that neat inward tuck. For round to oval face shapes, a jaw length framing combined with an open airy fringe is super flattering. The amount of precision required for micro-slicing is high. Slices that are done too carelessly can appear jagged, will need some light daily smoothing, and will not look intentional some style holds well in medium to high density straight hair.
#18: Graduated Chin-Grazing Bob with a Long Diagonal Fringe and Babylights
I love how the root-melt with babylights gives an uplifting highlighting effect at the cheekbone. It’s very face-framing and style that goes beyond the hair, and the look combines beautifully with a diagonal fringe that cuts from the part to the jaw The nape has subtle internal stacking that adds just the right amount of volume and no bulk. The entire cut feels light and modern on fine to medium mostly straight textures. You will want a round brush blowout to desired lift around the crown and the blonde will get warmer over time, so toning will be necessary. The good news for you is that the shape is low maintenance for the amount it delivers.
#19 Chopped Chin-Length Bob with Notched Micro-Bangs
Instagram: zoe0822
Getting notched micro-bangs offers insight into how much someone is willing to commit to a new look, and micro-bangs offer that insight even more. This particular style features a slightly convex, one-length bob that has point-texturing on the interior to make the ends flick up to the jawline, and the bangs are cut and notched quite high. The minimal maintenance for black hair is a trade-off considering that bangs would require precision cutting and regular trims to keep the ends sharp. The small, inward cuts at the jawline are a nice detail that helps to visually narrow the cheeks. This looks intentional and clean if the hair is straight and medium density, but the opposite is true if it is curly, which is the case for most geometric styles.
#20: Feathered Chin-Length Bob with a Center Part and Natural Crown Lift
Most stylists would try to control the small crown cowlick here, but working with it here actually becomes a feature. The root area gets a lift that normally would need a product or some technique to achieve, and the internal layering with point-cut texturizing to the ends sits so light that the cowlick ends up being just the right amount of volume. The center-parted fringe is soft and breaks, instead of sitting heavily, which equally adds to the not really trying to make this look good, look. Especially on fine to medium hair that is of medium density, this is going to be simple to air dry. The fringe will need some effort to keep it looking intentional and very thick coarse hair is going to need a lot of extra aggressive thinning to get to this point.
#21 Razor-Textured Copper Bob with Wispy Bangs
A nice new copper color will fade in a few weeks to a more dull color, and I want everyone to understand that trade off. That said, nothing else is like it. The razor texturizing helps the cut feel light and airy, and keeps it interesting. The short framing layers give enough lift to the crown so the shape doesn’t fall completely flat. The slightly curtained bangs are great for oval and heart shaped faces because they help frame the eyes and don’t make them feel closed in. This is a cut that looks like no effort was put into it on straight to fine-medium density hair; however, the red will require special upkeep, and the soft bangs will need to be styled daily. All that said, I think it is worth the chatter.
#22: Glossy Chin-Length Bob with Face-Framing Bangs and a Subtle Flip
The discreet reverse graduation at the nape gives the bob extra personality by encouraging the ends to flip outwards. The long layered bangs assist in elongating the face instead of drawing attention, while internal layering breaks up the visual mass of a single sheet. This shape is perfect for a round-brush blowout. It will give the ends a beautiful fall throughout the day. The gentle warm brown combined with soft low-lights is also more forgiving as well as working with regrowth. If you want to go a touch lighter, some blending will be necessary. This cut does not work for very coarse curls, but when done with the right texture it is beautifully effortless.
#23: Soft-Blunt Bob with a Feathered Fringe and Natural Waves
What great styles for natural movement! The subtle layers help with movement so each wave can work independently. The color blue-black adds so much dimension to the look. The slight crown cowlick adds height so not a lot of stacking will be needed along with root lift products. The soft rounded bangs that are feathered fall softly on the cheeks with the forehead and adds a lovely touch to the hair. Wavy bangs are a lot of work to look nice, and the regrowth with dark hair does show, but this style has low maintenance and great aging which we love!
#24: Wavy Chocolate Bob with Micro-Textured Bangs
Chin-length waves mixed with short micro-textured bangs create a contrast of casual and purposeful. The internal slide layers and point cutting give that bouncy, airy effect, and the subtle root shadow will allow the chocolate color to grow out beautifully. This texture designed on an oval face with medium density wavy hair will give nice width at the jaws. The bangs are the most committed. Daily styling is needed to achieve the desired look, and will absolutely let you know when they have been neglected. If your hair is fine and limp, the wave pattern may fall out with heat.
#25: Angled Chin-Length Bob with Micro Blunt Bangs
It has designed precision instead of layers that are improvised. The inside wedding grad creates a silhouette that is almost rounded and stacked without any layering that is visible, and the micro bangs fully commit to that geometric direction. On medium to thick straight hair this holds shape and structure and is really flattering to round and oval face shapes. Micro bangs are also unforgiving to any cowlicks and will need daily thermal smoothing and an intentional look blow dry to look intentional. If your hair is fine or even very curly this look would lose all elements of that design and shape. However under optimal conditions, it is without a doubt one of the sharpest looks in this collection.
#26: Icy Platinum Feathered Shag Bob with Wispy Fringe
Let’s break down the elements of this particular hair design. First, the icy platinum colour requires at least a level 10 lift with violet toner. This means this hair has been through some real work. Second, the feathered shape that the razored and point cut provide helps the hair from looking damaged. Lastly, there is a punk element to the shape with the texture, especially with the soft wispy fringe and perimeter that flicks out. Combining the lightness of the cut with the lightness of the colour works best with fine to medium density hair. Finally, during the bleaching process to achieve this icy platinum colour, you are going to need some bond building treatments, and for the maintenance, the impact still remains real.
#27: Copper Chin-Length Stack with a Feathered Curtain Fringe
The stacking at the nape of the neck is short and tidy, leading to a tuck behind the ear keeping the back tidy while the front does all the talking. The feathered curtain fringe softly frames the face, providing a softness to the construction of the stack, and the copper glazing offers a warmth that catches light beautifully. This shape is easy to round brush and hold to a bend, and takes well on medium-fine hair with a soft natural bend. Red fades faster than almost any other color family so you will see the vibrancy drop within a few weeks. The fringe will require a daily shape and very coarse tight curls will require significantly more internal work to achieve this result.
#28: Polished Blunt Bob with Sheer Micro-Bangs at Chin Length
For this haircut, there is full control with a silhouette that is evenly cut to the chin. There is a subtle graduated layer that gives a slight inner bevel so the ends tuck under. The micro bangs are cut so they sit just above the eyebrows. This look is intended for straight hair and will be less maintenance and low product to help support the structure. The high gloss look that comes from a smooth cuticle will make the cut look expensive, which is a plus, but the level of precision will expose imperfections such as cowlicks, regrowth, and uneven growth patterns. If you want to achieve this look, it will take a long time to maintain. The end result is a beautifully designed silhouette.
#29: Textured Chin-Length Bob with Soft Curtain Bangs
When paired with a chin-length bob, curtain bangs create a distinct look by framing the face. Bangs help bring attention to the eyes, and the chin-length bob adds definition to the jaw. Together, this combination creates a jaw-length perimeter look that is super flattering, as seen here. This style includes a blunt cut with slight point cutting and some light razor texturing, a stacked nape, and a root shadow for depth without the commitment of highlights. With this style, movement will appear natural, and the jawline will also be lifted. Some heat styling will be required to bring out the shape, and while maintenance is needed on the root shadow, it’s not too frequent. This style is not ideal for very coarse hair, as it would overwhelm the delicacy of the shape.
#30: Crisp Bowl Bob with a Blunt Micro-Fringe
The bowl bob style will get some mixed reactions and that’s what I think makes it interesting. This one has a zero elevation blunt edge with some subtle stacking at the nape as well as a micro fringe that is blunt and slightly sheer. When straightened, fine to medium hair will create a more polished look and of course the daily heat styling will be less of a hassle because the weight of the cut will do the bulk of the work. For oval and heart shaped faces, it will define the jawline more than layered cuts. A cut this precise will show growth rather quickly and very thick hair may need some strategic thinning to keep the cut sleek. This is a style for someone who knows exactly what they want. It’s not a style that looks for versatility, but more for the consistency.
#31: Rounded Chin-Length Bob with a Bold Short Fringe
You have a slight crown cowlick that will naturally lift and curl the ends in which is exactly the growth pattern desired for this shape. The soft stacked perimeter will provide a rounded shape while the blunt short fringe will add an element of surprise that a longer bang would take away. It’s a cut full of character. The single process deep black color means no color maintenance other than root touch ups and also means any future lightening will need to be preceded by a color lift which is good to know. The full fringe can feel heavy with very fine hair but with medium density, it should be just enough weight to stay put without looking too curtain-y.
#32: Textured Pixie Bob with a Cropped Fringe
This hairstyle sits between a pixie and a bob, and that area is often where the most defining cuts are found. The cropped fringe opens the face entirely, and the combination of internal graduation and some point-cut texturing provides movement to prevent this style from looking too harsh. The reverse feathered nape is a nice touch with those outward flicks at the back. When it comes to fine to medium hair with medium density, a small amount of matte paste will be enough to style this. This hairstyle will take a lot of confidence as it will be fully exposing the forehead and it won’t be suitable for everyone. Depending on your perspective, the few up-style options can be seen as either a freedom or a restriction.
#33: Choppy Bob with a Micro-Scalloped Fringe
The fragmented scalloped fringe provides an artsy touch of messiness that goes with the natural 2B waves. The outward flips come from internal layers and point cutting, and the fringe softens the look by varying lengths instead of defining the eyes. The crown cowlick needs to be considered in the cut, and while the hair will need to be tamed during the day, it can help provide nice volume. If your hair is wavy, medium-density, and natural, you should find the texture does a lot of the styling. The short fringe will draw focus to the forehead, so that is something to consider. If your hair is heavy coarse and coarse, that will create a lot of resistance to the movement without some more aggressive thinning.
#34: Shoulder-Length Blonde Bob with Feathered Face-Framing Fringe
With this bob, the framing goes to the face, while the color blonde all over, root melts and babylights, spark movement, and that movement alongside the cut, and that doubling of dimension is what brings this bob to life. Interior graduation at the crown gives this some nice volume, and the feathered fringe provides the frame without a full bang. This will be super nice and flattering on oval faces with fine to medium straight hair. That look is the effortless style people describe, and often, don’t achieve. The flip at the ends is going to need daily heat styling, and the color will need regular maintenance to avoid shifting warm tones. For very coarse, tight curls, a different structure would probably serve you better, but for its intended audience, this is one of those haircuts that really looks like it was done with no effort, which is the hardest thing to achieve in a haircut.
#35: Glossy Rounded Bob with a See-Through Curtain Fringe
These ghost curtain bangs may appear to be just bangs from afar, but they truly alter the face to make it look more captivating. The rounded shape is created by the soft inner layering at the nape, while the blunt ends are a result of an even blowout technique rather than the cut. A natural cowlick at the crown is a gift as it creates effortless lift. If the curtain bangs are not hot-set with a straightener, the top sections can separate and fall to the sides, and they will show oil faster than a fuller bang, so you may want to use dry shampoo by the second day. On medium straight hair and an oval face, it is polished without being uptight, and I think that’s a nice place to land.
#36: Graphic Blunt Bob with Neon Paneling and Micro-Bangs
The passion for coloring hair is not something I see very often, and it will definitely get my attention when it is done well. This is a zero-degree blunt bob with straight micro-bangs on very straight medium-fine hair. The coloring technique involves a lot of pre-lightening and color blocking. From the part, there is a neon lime slice into the face-framing panel, saturated red blocks, and a peekaboo hidden dark streak. This is bold color, not for the faint hearted. It requires level 10 lift with bond builders, vivid refreshes done frequently and daily thermal smoothing to keep the edges cutting sharp. The graphic color framing is phenomenal on oval and heart shaped faces. And best of all you are left with a cut that people genuinely cannot keep their eyes off of. The commitment is real and you should come prepared for the maintenance.
#37: Black Bob with Feathered Bangs That Frame Without Fuss
A good cut for someone who says “I don’t have time to style my hair, I just want to be able to walk out the door in 5 minutes!” is a long bob (or lob) that is just above the shoulder with some feathered bangs. The straight black color adds modern depth and the shape is versatile enough for straight or wavy hair so you dont have to worry about a lot of maintenance. The bangs are the perfect touch to soften a more angular face and shift the focus to the eyes. This look will take a little more styling effort than a more lived in look or bob, but really all it takes is a smoothing serum and a round brush, and the upkeep turns into more of a habit.
#38: Espresso Bob with Precision Bangs That Mean Business
The straight lines and full bangs that sit above the eyebrows create the effect of being freshly showered and polished. I love how the deep espresso shade makes fine to medium hair appear fuller and thicker, as well as making highlights that add dimension look less needed. The bangs distract from the eyes in a complimenting way, and on an oval or longer shaped face create some of the equilibrium that longer hair can provide. These ends will require regular maintenance for as clean as they appear, but if you enjoy the routine of an appointment every couple of weeks then this style will payoff that consistency.
#39: Textured Tousled Bob with a Soft, Piecey Fringe
I like this cut since it allows you to do little to no styling. The layered technique low maintenance the cut gives you that ‘just got back from the beach’ look (even though you were sitting at your desk all day). The soft piece-y bangs further this effect without the need to blow it out as big and full as possible (which is one more thing to do).This cut is as great for oval and heart faces shapes as it is for fine hair. I think it works especially well for people in their thirties or forties who want some personality in the hair and to not have to put in a ton of effort. That’s where the trim comes in because it keeps the bangs from looking too heavy, and keeps the maintenance from losing that shape.
#40: Blonde Tousled Bob with Wispy Bangs and Lived-In Roots
The dark roots on blonde hair have a purpose. It provides versatility with the hair and saves you money from having to get blonde foils every month. Wispy bangs soften the face and won’t be too much on someone who has an oval or heart shape face. The look works on other face shapes as well. The tousled medium-length hair helps add volume without needing to do a lot of styles, and the lighter color will need to be toned a lot to avoid looking brassy. A darker root color may be pleasing to the eye but only for a limit, so adjust accordingly.
#41: Silver Layered Bob with Choppy Bangs
Silver hair can look very different depending on the style and cut. In this case, it looks youthful and fresh. The layered technique will break up the bulk for medium-density hair but leave the style full. Choppy bangs have a youthful, slightly rebellious feel and will keep the silver color from looking too mature. The flattering texture is low-maintenance on hair that is straight or slightly wavy. Cool tones will highlight features like the cheeks and jaw bones while warm tones do not. Keeping the silver color bright will require some maintenance. Expect toning appointments and color safe products. The style is low-maintenance between trims.
#42: Chestnut Bob with Sculpted Bangs
As the blended fringe and blunt bangs are cut at different angles, the blended fringe is designed to sit at the curve of the forehead, helping to soften the look of a round face. This fringe style also reduces the amount of weight added to the front of the hair compared to blunt bangs. The warm chestnut hue is seasonally versatile and provides color dimensionality and depth without the use of highlights. The sleek bob shape provides further clarity to the style. Hair of medium density sits nicely here, and this will require only a small amount of product, such as a light smoothing serum combined with a round brush. Although it is a quick process, the style will require consistent maintenance to keep it looking polished. The hairstyle provides a neat appearance, giving the impression that the client has always had fantastic hair, even before visiting the salon for a cut.
#43: Cinnamon Bob with Curved Bangs That Warm Everything Up
The cinnamon color is also pretty as it warms the complexion without being too harsh. The tips of the bob seem to mirror the softness of the curled bangs. On round and oval faces, this sort of proportion looks flattering in a more natural, unforced way. The soft waves create the illusion of both volume and movement, and even with mid-density hair, the waves will last throughout the day without the need to use a lot of product. It will require some restyling to keep the waves and bangs, which is important to keep in mind. One of the haircuts where the upkeep seems to correspond well to what you get in return. It has a nice shape that is both fun and a little classy. It is great because it is both simple and elegant.
#44: Midnight Blue Wavy Bob with Peeking Layers
We all know the main highlight of this look is the midnight blue color, but the layers are what truly brings the look together. The way this is cut adds movement and body to the hair without compromising the overall shape. This particular cut is made to give the most volume possible to the hair. On hair that has medium density, the design of the cut will give more volume than actually exists. The pattern of the waves combined with the blue and other coordinating colors will bring out a ‘depth’ that has an alluring quality to it that reveals different shades of blue that are light sensitive. For people with round faces, this particular length and layers of hair have a slimming effect which is also true to this style and cut. Roots become visible quicker with darker shades, so you will have to do color touch ups more often. The overall style is quite low maintenance which gives a unique look to someone who doesn’t want to step too far out of their comfort zone.
#45: Auburn Curled Bob with Rounded Bangs
To your hairstyle, here is a positive direction. You’re naturally wavy hair shows how to emphasize texture. The soft pantone auburn adds warmth and rounded bangs frame the face in a way that suits multiple shapes and is not biased to one. This is a medium density medium length haircut which adds versatility so that you can style it in multiple ways, plus it looks good on its own when you leave it messy. The color and curls will need upkeep, the auburn will fade and the waves need to be refreshed, between washes the curl pattern will need some refreshing, but none of it is extreme. This is a cut for someone wanting a stylish change, but still wanting to feel like themselves.
#46: Chestnut Bob with Layered Bangs
The chestnut color will add more depth to your layers, and the bangs with this bob will direct the focus more inward. For medium to thick hair, this is going to be more than just some thinning — it will add true movement and volume. The warmer color will be the most low maintenance as it will not require color touch ups as often. The bangs will need to be trimmed more often than the rest, so be prepared for that ongoing commitment. For someone wanting a polished, yet practical look , this is an effortless and elegant option that will look great for a meeting and a casual weekend plans without needing to change anything.
#47 Golden Blonde Bob with Side-Swept Bangs
Soft golden blonde hair color is gorgeous, especially with side-swept bangs because it offers an effortless, uncomplicated elegance, and this hairstyle embodies that. Here, hair is cut to shoulder length, which with the side-swept bangs, offers a gentle warmth to square and heart-shaped faces which is lovely. The additional height and softness of the bangs soften the look and create a nice shape and hold to medium to thick hair. Softer blonde hair colors tend to high maintenance, which means more frequent salon visits, and this shade will require upkeep to keep the blondes and lines clean.
Cuts like these tend to show neglect more than heavily layered cuts, but this one does reward you for frequent salon visits if you enjoy the beauty in maintenance.
#48: Espresso Bob with Rounded Precision Bangs
Rounded bangs soften the look of sharp features while still framing the face. Bangs on heart shaped faces offer a flattering look from the forehead through the jawline. They lower the look of the jawline and draw attention to the cheekbones. The dark glossy espresso color is deep and rich, and is also gorgeous without effort. This style works best with medium to thick hair as those hair types hold the shape best. It is also less maintenance than having your hair colored lighter, which is a luxury in itself. The only real commitment is to keep the bangs rounded, and that requires a lot of trims because once the bangs get too long, they lose a lot of the look you want.
#49: Golden Brown Bob with a Straight Fringe
I love the subtle color transitions from dark at the roots to light at the mid lengths. It looks more natural than the highlighting technique that is seen everywhere. The mid neck length is also perfect for oval and heart shaped faces because it brings attention to the cheekbones and gives an airiness to the face that longer hair can hide. Straight blunt bangs also really add to the volume and fullness of the style which is a great quality to have. Keeping the bangs styled straight will be an added chore to your morning routine, but I promise it won’t be a lot of work and the result will be great!
#50 Brunette Bob with Softly Contoured Bangs
Straight-across bangs give an architectural effect and follow the natural contour of the forehead instead of chopping straight across. A deep shade of rich brunette adds depth to the hair without highlights for dimension. Hair that is just above the shoulders is enough to pull back when needed and still gives off a purposeful blunt bob vibe. The bangs are high-maintenance, but at least they’re the only thing you have to do to this hair to keep it looking awesome. The contour look of the bangs will change the most with regular trims. For a cut that completely transforms your face, that’s a small price to pay.
