I’ll never forget the first time I saw curly bobs on clients of an older demographic. I once had a lady in her sixties tell me that she had been flat ironing her hair every single day since 1987. I had to ask her why she did that to herself. She said, “Because no one has ever shown me what my curls could do at that length.” We gave her a bob haircut and told her she could embrace her curls. She was not crying from any big reveal or dramatics, she was crying because for the first time in three decades, she looked like herself again. Now she didn’t have to fight her hair every day.
When older women get curly bobs, it’s not about “holding on” or “filling out” like some people may think. It’s about working with the hair’s natural texture to form that volume and shape. Curls do all the work; you just need the right cut to let the hair land and sit in the right place to avoid a flat look at the roots. I’ve gathered some of my favorite examples of this cut to illustrate just how versatile a curly bob can be, (spoiler alert), it can be a lot more versatile than you might think.
#1: Warm Caramel Curls That Catch the Light Just Right
There is a lot of great positive change here. The hair color and style give her a more playful look, with the carmel and textured style allowing for more movement! The color reflects in the light and gives a beautiful definition and helps the texture look more natural! The added length gives her more versatility and free movement, plus brushing her shoulders is a nice touch for that extra style! If you have finer hair this type of cut is perfect to make it look more voluminous and bouncy. A good curl-defining cream is a great option to help keep the look between washes.
#2 Lively Rust-Toned Spirals with Real Energy
This particular shade of rust makes the face glow. The perfect amount of layers have been added giving each spiral curl the room to bounce without creating a shapeless appearance. The bouncy energy is evident in this un-salon-y look. It looks like she just woke up, shook her head, and left, looking fabulous. Fine hair will give these types of spirals more body than a straight style would at the same length. The light in this picture captures the joy in her face which is what a great cut should do. For the next couple of days, a curl enhancing product will help maintain definition, just be sure to keep the product light so you avoid crunch.
#3 Rustic Caramel with Waves That Have Real Weight to Them
I find the waves very appealing. The caramel color suits the wig nicely. I also appreciate that it is not soft and pillow like the others and has more structure. With medium to thick hair this wave pattern lifts the face which is really good for clients that are experiencing settlement as they age. The warm caramel color will suit most skin tones. The wig will require some maintenance to keep the waves looking this good so only purchase it if you plan on using a texture spray every morning to give it that messy look.
#4 Tousled Blonde Curls That Feel Like They Weigh Nothing
Initially, I thought the look was really light, and I think that the sunny blonde curls give this look an extra element of lightness, especially considering how much there it. Lighter curls really are more airy, and these curls are cut so that they will not stack on each other and create a lot of bulk. This would be a good option for people with looser curls who want to be more effortless instead of having to style them tighter. For a hot and sticky summer, a style like this will make humidity your enemy.
#5 Warm Tousled Curls with a Bit of Wildness
It appears to be unstructured and free, which I appreciate. The curls appear to have a hint of wildness, and it seems like that’s just how their hair naturally behaves, while the cut was simply designed to allow it to do whatever. The rustic warm tones offer a range of different colors, and the way the light glints off the individual curls gives each of them a moment to shine. This collarbone length cut is perfect because it allows the curls to spread instead of drooping. The layered cut is doing a lot of the work to create the appearance of soft volume, because it’s allowing each of the curls to twist in different directions. The actual cut shouldn’t require too much maintenance between appointments. Depending on your natural color, you may need to do some root touch ups, but that should be it.
#6 Layered Blonde Bob with Curls That Know Where to Go
There are deliberate layers put into this cut; it is not just some random layers added to give volume. The light curls will not rest against the face but will rather fan out which will create an amazing effect. The silky blonde highlights will draw your attention to the texture before you notice the curls. Soft framing is even more preferable on oval faces. This is just the type of haircut that looks like it will take ages to do, like 45 minutes, but it should really take 5 minutes with a diffuser. Expect to do regular toning to keep those highlights from looking brassy!
#7 Silver Layers with the Gentlest Curl
I like that this cut has been kept simple. The curls are soft (not bouncy!), and she has chosen to leave the silver as is. No highlights, no lowlights, just natural grey and doing its thing. That takes confidence and it pays off. The layering is balanced, preventing head flatness by lunchtime, and she has a clean overall shape that is not rigid. This is one of those cuts where a mark of good work is that 3 weeks after the appointment it still looks right. The natural colour means less trips to the salon for touch ups – a practical advantage that I don’t think gets enough mention.
#8 Golden Spirals with Serious Lift
The coils are tight enough to create actual volume at the roots which is just what you’re thinning hair needs. The golden blonde colour is warm and bright without washing out a more mature complexion. This cut is interesting because of the graduated layers. The tightest curls are at the crown and the looser ones around the face so it is rounded and full on top and softer around the edges. Low fuss once the cut is done but there will be some sort of product needed for definition. A light curl defining gel would do to stop the spirals from merging as the day goes on.
#9 Cinnamon Curls at the Jaw, with a Modern Edge
The specific jawline length focuses one’s attention on the part of the face where the bone structure is more prominent as we age, which is intentional and shows the difference between a good and an excellent haircut. The cinnamon colour is subtle enough and warm enough to not create a contrast with the skin that is too harsh. The cut is slightly asymmetrical to keep it modern but not too much so to be overly styled. For hair that has started to thin, these curls create the perception of more volume visually. The curls will require a mousse to keep the shape until the next cut. The colour will be due for a refresh every six weeks to keep it this rich.
#10 Easy Chestnut Waves That Don’t Ask Much of You
When it comes to upkeep, this type of style is an enjoyable surprise for my clients. The base color is warm and natural-looking chestnut, and the highlights are subtle enough to only really be seen when she turns her head. I did a light bob shape on the top, and I find that this style works really well with round and oval face shapes. With round and oval face shapes, losing the shape at this length beautiful curls do tend to dry out more quickly than you’d expect, so just be consistent with hydration and plan to do a little less than complicated morning routine.
#11 Cinnamon Spirals with Real Life in Them
I want to praise the stylist who cut these curls. With this level of density, there was no need for layering to add volume. The cinnamon color is warm and flattering, especially by the face. The length of the curls is just right so they won’t fall flat. It’s a wash-and-go, but if your curls tend to dryness and tangles, you’ll want to do a regular deep conditioning treatment to keep your curls looking healthy and moving freely to where you want them.
#12 Chocolate Spirals with a Deliberately Undone Feel
What I appreciate about this style is that it doesn’t look polished and finished in an \”every-curl-in-place\” way and that’s definitely a good thing. The tousled looks adds personality to the style and the chocolate hue is rich enough to add depth without needing highlights. For thicker hair, this type of spiral curling allows the silhouette to be full and rounded in all the right areas. Shoulder length is practical while still giving the curls enough room to express themselves and it frames the face nicely without too much. Straight hair would make this very difficult but if your hair has a natural wave or curl, your stylist can work with that wonderfully and build upon it.
#13 Auburn Curls at the Chin with Textured Layers
This warm auburn chin length curly bob is a great example of a bob with adjustable layers to help combat the puffiness that chin length curly bobs tend to get. The way the warm auburn blends into her natural hair color helps create an effect that a lot of people try to achieve. The textured layers actually help the curls frame the face which also helps soften the jaw and temple area. This style is a great option for people with medium to high density hair because as it grows out, it will still look good which is nice because typically shorter curly cuts require a lot of maintenance to keep the shape.
#14 Chestnut Highlights Playing Off Natural Silver
What stands out is the way the grey is integrated and how chestnut brown is paired with grey. These two colours create a dimension and variation that one colour can’t achieve. The curls capture that so every single curl looks just a bit different. With a length just above the shoulders, this is ideal for daily routines so that someone can feel like they have not made too much of a sacrifice. Also, with the curl pattern and added volume, this is ideal for fine hair that needs to look a little fuller. The only downside would be the grey coming through – but it is a style the needs a little maintenance as the chestnut and silver work will require some regular trips to the salon as the grey comes through and the ratio shifts.
#15 Platinum Curls with an Airy, Modern Feel
The platinum color on coily hair just looks so perfect. The way the texture works with the color is so stunning, I can just tell there is some sort of glow going on. The soft layers that compliment the fine hair density really apply some nice lift without taking away from the volume which is so modern and effortless. This would specifically be a really stunning look for someone with an oval or round facial shape because the curls would frame the face beautifully around the cheekbone area. The maintenance commitment for platinum hair is no joke. You are going to require regular toning appointments so that it does not begin to look yellow and a great purple shampoo is going to be a must in between appointments.
#16 Platinum Bob That Ages Like Good Silver
This hairstyle highlights the ease that is so often missed. It lets the person’s natural grey hair take center stage and doesn’t try to add fake volume to the hair. This style refrains from excessive layering and doesn’t overdo the curls. The finish is nice with the soft curls and with the look of the haircut, polished and deliberate, it adds to the overall nice look. Plus, the platinised color of the hair gives the look of colour that has changed freely instead of colour that has been deposited. If you have naturally textured hair, this is a style that you can wash and go. Shorter hair does limit your daily styling options, but it’s a great trade off.
#17 Platinum Waves That Soften Everything
Haircuts that style themselves are incredibly easy because they require no finished styling and no styling tools or blow drys and this is a perfect example of that.
You won’t have to worry about growing it out because the soft platinum color will eliminate any root racism because it’s so soft. And trust me, you want to have any root racism out there. The length will add volume to the thinner fine hair making it look like a lot of hair when it will actually just be a little. The length of the hair will help to frame the face gently leaving room for the cheeks and eyes to be shown which is really nice for the oval and heart shapes faces because it makes it look so much more natural.
Apart from the regular moisturizing treatments to keep the curls lively, and of course the platinum color of the hair, this haircut will really style itself.
#18 Neck-Length Chestnut Curls with a Slightly Uneven Hem
The slight asymmetry on the hem elevates this cut from the standard curly bob to an expression of individuality and personality. It may be considered a minor detail, but it bestows upon the hair shape a certain modern and out of the box quality, capturing the essence of these playful curls. The chestnut tones are illuminated with highlights that are woven in a way that doesn’t make them look streaky, but instead provides an illusion of more hair which is a true artistry with curly textures. The soft layers will reduce bulk on the curls where it tends to accumulate and will allow more movement in the curls where it is needed. Everything will look healthy and well defined by a moisturizing curl cream that will keep it looking that way.
#19 Bronzed Chestnut Waves That Warm Up the Whole Face
This color will warm up your entire complexion by giving a glow along the trim of your face that looks like good lighting. The bronzed chestnut shade really stands out against lighter skin tones, cool shades don’t do the trick. You have natural volume with your curls, so you won’t need any backcombing or root lifting products. The curls that frame your face create very soft and gentle contours that are truly flattering. Shoulder length is the exact sweet spot to show that the style is intentional without feeling like you have to put in a ton of commitment each morning. Just keep up a regular hydration routine and the bounce will take care of it.
#20 Chestnut Curls That Don’t Try Too Hard
I am always drawn to this hairstyle since it alludes to some effortless vibe. This bob looks amazing as the curls are soft, and provide the perfect volume. The warm chestnut color is lovely, and the bob’s shape is clean and soft, not harsh. This bob will provide all the volume needed on finer hair, minus the stacked layering which can date a bob quite a bit. It’s also a perfect length for easy styling, which is essential when opting for a style that will be worn often. It’s great for both casual and more sophisticated looks, while the warm chestnut hues are especially flattering on round and oval face shapes. Just be sure to condition your hair regularly to keep those curls in top form!
#21 Golden Blonde Curls with an Easy Confidence
The golden color is perfect! It’s warm enough to be brightening to the face, yet isn’t so light that it looks high maintenance or out of place with the skin tone. The curls give the volume and texture that thinner hair craves and the shape overall softens around the heart and oval face shapes in a way that feels effortless instead of constructed. This is a cut for someone who wants to look great when she walks into a room, yet wants to be pretty inconspicuous about it. The color will shift as it grows in, so of course the salons are a must to keep that luminosity, but the cut is forgiving.
#22 Silver and Pepper Curls with Real Presence
What I appreciate about this length of salt-and-pepper curls is the unexpected dignity they carry. This bob that sits just below the ears, takes advantage of denser hair by letting the curls stack up to form a pretty rounded shape. There is no hesitancy here. It works just as well for casual days as it does for evenings out, and because it’s all natural colour, that means no time spent on root touch ups. You can define the curls with a little mousse, and if your curls are a little weaker or finer, then a curl enhancer will help you achieve this sort of fullness. This is an excellent option for oval or diamond face shapes.
#23 Short Auburn Curls That Know What They’re Doing
From every angle, this cut is simple and confident. The short length and natural auburn color of your hair compliment the skin without stealing the spotlight, and means you won’t have to spend your mornings trying to get your hair to cooperate. The natural curl gives volume which medium or fine density hair won’t have if it’s longer. It’s low maintenance in a way that most cuts say they are but really aren’t. The one non-negotiable is that your curls will be thirsty, so regular hydration is a must. If you live in a humid climate, anti-frizz products and a cream will be a must.
#24 Caramel Waves with Layering That Knows When to Stop
Here, the layers don’t take off much length, and the extra volume looks nice around the crown and mid-lengths. That restraint helps shape avoid looking too flat or round. The caramel highlights are nice. They brighten the face without being stripy and frame the eyes and cheekbones great. Also, since it’s such a simple look, minimal product is needed. This is great for anyone with an easy routine. Just keep in mind that if your curls are looser or tighter than the soft waves in the photo, the balance may need to be adjusted. Those caramel tones on greying hair look fresh and natural.
#25 Brunette Curls with Just a Hint of Something Extra
I like how the highlights are more of a suggestion for this style. The highlights catch the light and give your curls a bit of dimension. They complement the natural base of brunette hair and don’t compete with it, which is great. This length is practical; it’s long enough to have shape and movement but short enough that it isn’t a hassle on a Tuesday morning. For finer hair, these curls are super volumizing and require vey little product. A quick scrunch is all you need to get going. Keeping your hair in good condition will require a little maintenance, but it shouldn’t be a burden.
#26 Silver Blonde Chin-Length Curls with Purpose
Chin-length bobs are very trendy right now. This haircut really draws attention to the center of your face, emphasizing your most notable features, such as your beautiful eyes and prominent cheekbones. This haircut will surely draw attention to the center of you face. The warm silver blonde color is also very nice. If you have medium to high density hair, then the curls add an enormous amount of volume and movement which creates the illusion of more casual effort to the haircut. The key to achieving the best of this haircut is some very minimal layering to allow the curls to behave. The loss of shape with the style is also very minimal which is great. The haircut is very low maintenance as it requires regular conditioning to maintain the brightness of the color and the health of the curls. The haircut works with you instead of against you.
#27 Chestnut Curls with an Easy, Natural Movement
This cut works because it doesn’t look like it’s trying hard to be a “style.” It shows off and brings out her natural hair color. The chestnut hue seems to blend or match her real color. The curls appear soft and more defined and creates volume through movement instead of a ton of product. The length of the curls is just right because it is long enough to sway and move and short enough to keep its shape. If her hair is already going gray, this chestnut color is a good option because it looks natural and blends with her gray hair instead of hiding them. On days when you don’t want to get super styled, a light mousse or curl enhancer is all you need. If you have straighter hair, you’ll have to use heat tools to get this look, and that adds a lot to the maintenance.
#28 Chocolate Curls with Sun-Warmed Dimension
I absolutely adore the chocolate curls and sun-kissed highlights combination. The way they cascade down the shoulders is gorgeous, and the lighter hair and chocolate color create the illusion of sun exposure for a natural look that a single color choice would not achieve. Given the natural density of the curls, the length will not require volumizing legs and will remain shoulder length to keep everything in balance perfect, meaning this will be also be an excellent look for maintaining and preserving curls. The color will need some consistent maintenance to from some moisture in curls to prevent the warmer tones from fading too quickly to be a daily effort that is minimal especially for someone with natural curls like her hair. Overall, the look is unstructured with no need for any architectural gimmicks to it to flatter and frame everything.
#29 Copper Curls with Depth at the Root
The multi-tonal blends of dark shades with bright copper at the mid-lengths and ends are smart and sophisticated. As your hair grows in, the darker shades will blend into the roots, rather than standing out like solid block color, giving you extra time between color appointments. The curls will also add apparent density to thinning hair, provide manageability, and create a flow around the shoulders which is a lovely length. Added volume around round face shapes balances out the proportions, and on longer face shapes’ added volume gives nice width. Most of the investment will be a little product to keep the curls defined.
#30 Deep Espresso Curls with a Lived-In Quality
I like how these curls are styled. It looks effortless and natural, almost as if she’s had this (and still looks fab!) haircut for weeks instead of freshly visiting the salon. It suits her more than her recent haircut. The deep espresso color adds just the right amount of richness to avoid making the color too dark and harsh against her skin. It has the perfect depth. The cut length is just right as well. It’s mid neck length, so it provides the best length to keep it manageable while also flattering her face. This style is ideal for medium to thick hair, and looks really good! Well moisturized curls are defined and stay bouncy, which helps prevent the dryness and the more undefined looks that can happen to curly textures. Moisture keeps the curls healthy, bouncy, and ready to go!
#31 Warm Copper Curls with a Playful Spirit
Copper has a great impact on the complexion. Hues of copper creates an all over brightness to the face, like the glow of good natural light. The curls add volume at the neck which is the area that tends to fall flatter first for those with thinner hair. The shape is refreshing and youthful without being too young which is a balance that many people don’t notice is important. This is a length that shouldn’t take too long to dry, and while the curls will need moisture to remain defined and not get frizzy, the required maintenance is pretty average. Ease of transition from day to evening is key, and in my opinion it reflects a good amount of thought that has been put into the cut.
#32 Silver Waves Shaped with Quiet Precision
The layers of the cut subtly show how the hair is contoured around the face. Softly and un-noticeably enhancing features is a trick not many hair stylists have. Leaving the silver coloring natural is something I have always respected, and the wave pattern is nicely aligned to look intentional, and not too rigid. I would bet my money that the medium barrel curling irons at home are the exact same as here, if you know the technique. Keeping the hair to just above shoulder length means it will be easy to style it for the everyday, and if there are events that require something fancier, this will work perfectly. Thanks to light mousse, all the volume and hold you need will last a long time. If curls are wanted but humidity is too soft, the curls will be waiting.
#33 Mahogany Curls at the Chin with Graduated Texture
A chin-length style can be difficult to pull off but this one certainly does the trick! The warmth in this mahogany color is flattering to the skin tone, and graduated layers give thinner hair more texture and volume. The shape of the cut focuses on the chin, which is a good thing here! This would suit someone who is thinking of growing out their grey hair as the mahogany will turn silver beautifully. Hydrating treatments keep curls at this length bouncy and looking their best.
#34 Espresso Curls at the Chin with Real Character
This haircut offers a natural look that works well with the client’s natural hair density. There is no aggressive texturizing or heavy layering done to the hair. This style allows the natural curls to show through and be beautiful, and adds tons of volume to the look. Curls in this style look bouncy and lively, and the base espresso color and light highlights add depth and dimension without weighing the hair down. This style is for clients looking for a more natural look, and will not work for clients looking for a more sleek and controlled look. This cut works with the natural movement of the hair, giving it a soft look.
#35 Russet Curls at the Jaw That Mean Business
The length of the hairstyle that grazes the jawline purposefully highlights and accentuates the strong jaw and draws attention to the lower face, showcasing it in a flattering and confident manner. The russet-brown color is quite unusual being an intermediary between the tones of brown, auburn, and chestnut. It is warm enough to brighten lighter skin tones without appearing to be a fake color. Although short length tight curls give the appearance of increased volume which is great if the hair is thinning, the short curly bob will require a lot of maintenance, including regular reshaping every 5 to 6 weeks, which is a downside. The color will also require frequent touch-ups. However, the upside is that daily maintenance is minimal.
#36 Chestnut Chin-Length Curls with Smart Face-Framing
Face framing layers are utilized for this haircut, and because they are made especially for these curls, they will help the hair to fall away from the face, rather than sticking to the face, giving a more open and airy feel to the style rather than a tight look. The warm chestnut shade is more compatible with your skin than ashier shades of hair would be, while chin length is practical and not a compromise. Those layers create volume that will be seen throughout finer hair, while the natural curl will do the rest. To be ready for the day, the only thing you will really need to do is a little bit of curl enhancing spray. If your hair grows quickly, you will need to get trims more frequently to keep that nice clean chin length line, but the good thing is this style is as easy as curly hair gets.
#37 Soft Copper Layers That Move When You Do
The soft layers promote movement. The hair sways and bounces instead of remaining still, giving the haircut an energetic vibe. The warm copper hue brightens the face. The curl creates a naturally voluminous effect which is especially true on finer hair. The shorter length is fairly easy to manage. Curly hair at this length will require some maintenance to retain defined curls while avoiding unwanted frizz. A moisturizing mousse will help maintain bouncy curls while remaining lightweight so it won’t weigh the curls down.
#38 Auburn Volume That Builds Itself
I really like this cut because it allows curly hair to be free. The different sections of the cut embrace the natural curls in the hair, which means that the volume is more self sustaining rather than created with products and techniques. It is also easier to dry since the length of the cut is just above the shoulders, which is really important for people with curly hair. Because it is energizing but not overwhelming, the shade of auburn is especially nice on cooler skin tones. The curls will still need their usual maintenance of moisture and the occasional frizz control, but the cut will look good with little effort.
#39 Silver Curls with Serious Volume and Intention
With this cut, we can harness the balance of the texture’s volume and wildness with some control. The light-silver curls add an illuminating factor to the hair, while the shoulder-length cut allows the curls to really express themselves. The light around the face softly blurs the boundary between the hair and skin. This style really celebrates the beauty of naturally curly and wavy hair. The look you see here is the way the cut was designed to hold, but the products used around the curl defining and frizz control are key to maintaining that defined look.
#40 Chestnut Bob with Soft Definition and Easy Volume
Soft curls are well-defined, and that may sound easy, but it is much more difficult than it seems! Too much definition, and the texture seems crunchy, and too little definition, and it can appear messy. This is in the middle and the chestnut color with subtle variation looks good and adds visual interest without being highlighted in a traditional sense. This also makes the roots fine and creates youthful volume which lasts throughout the day! The length may also be practical, meaning that it looks easy to manage without looking like an afterthought in an ellipsis. Investing in a good hair moisturizer will keep the curls looking their best and prevent the dull look that can develop when curly textures dry.
#41 Espresso Curls with Fullness Around the Face
A chin length cut, for example, adds fullness and softness where it’s most needed around the jawline and temples, for the more angular features. An even spread of volume, which is super helpful for hair that might be thinning in some spots, comes from mixing tight curls and loose curls. The espresso color is deep and rich without being flat or one-dimensional so it adds depth to the curls. This is a shorter style which remarkably looks full. It does take a bit of moisture to keep curly hair at this length looking shiny and shaped but once you get the right products down, you’ll have an easy and quick morning hair care routine!
#42 Rounded Chestnut Bob Shaped by the Curl
I really appreciate how the curl pattern naturally creates the rounded shape as opposed to scissors being responsible for that rounded shape. The mid-neck length creates added density, and the chestnut color is so warm and it really compliments cooler skin tones beautifully. Those rounded ends will create a soft frame which is extremely flattering to oval and heart-shaped faces. This style is ideal on hair with a natural curl or a really strong wave because that is what creates the shape to fill out. On hair that is straighter, you would need to create the curl every day which, to be honest, would look really unnatural.
#43 Shoulder-Length Chestnut Curls That Flatter Without Fuss
This bob haircut showcases springy curls that help accentuate the facial features without overshadowing them. The warm chestnut color is very flattering to her skin tone. The length is just above the shoulders for an ideal balance. This length provides enough hair for styling, but not so much that it becomes a daily hassle. For hair that is fine or thinning, curls are ideal as they provide the illusion of volume that would not be achieved with a straight style. This haircut is especially nice for oval and square face shapes as it gives soft and proportionate framing. To keep this haircut looking fresh in between appointments, be sure to condition regularly and use a curl definer to maintain definition.
#44 Chocolate Curls with Natural Highlights That Come Alive
Most people probably won’t appreciate or notice the cut’s individual details, especially the highlights. However, the highlights give the hair a more textured richness as there are layers that create movement to the hair. The bob looks more voluminous without the added bulky volume an over-layered curly cut gives. Everything with a curl specific anti-frizz control product will be defined and smooth. This style is great for oval and heart-shaped faces.
#45 Golden Caramel Curls That Light Up the Face
The bright golden caramel shade has been crafted to do one thing, and one thing only, bounce warmth to your face. And boy does it ever. The shoulder-dusting brush gives enough room to allow the curls to create a full, animated frame. The face-framing layers are intentional, and give just the right amount of emphasis to the cheekbones. The curl pattern is always going to give enough volum so it is perfect for the one who doesn’t want to have to create it every day. It does mean though that you will want to keep your hair moisturised to maintain that bounce, and a light styling product will hold the shape for the day. To keep this color warm and multi-tonal, it is going to need regular maintenance. The cut itself is forgiving and easy to manage.
#46 Auburn Shoulder-Length Curls with Quiet Volume
I like that this style has a soft volume that’s not too dramatic which is nice. It is soft and classy rather than big and flashy, look-at-my-hair sort of way. It shows that you take care of your hair, and it is healthy. The subtle auburn tone is also very versatile, and works with a lot of different skin tones while also adding warmth to the look so it doesn’t feel flat. Shoulder length hair is nice with all sorts of variations in hair density because it provides just the right amount of volume so it won’t be too much for smaller frames or not enough for larger frames. Using moisture and curl definition products will help keep the style ‘bouncy’ which is nice, and this style really doesn’t take long to do in the morning.
#47 Chin-Length Chestnut Ringlets with Real Body
Chin length ringlet curls look amazing with all types of curly hair, and this style showcases how amazing they can be. Density is created by each curl, no matter how much hair is underneath the curls. The chestnut color of the hair is warm and inviting. This color softens the depth of the curls, so their individual definition is not lost. The chin length of this style enhances your features while keeping the look airy. Moisture is the ongoing commitment here. Defined ringlets require regular hydration to keep their shape and the static that can make the frizz of the curl pattern so the styling look of the curls can be kept and the effort of styling them kept to a minimum.
#48 Soft Copper Layers That Create the Illusion of More
With this particular technique, the aim is to enhance the volume of fine or medium hair types. The cut is meant to create movement in the curls by leaving plenty of room for them to fill out, while also keeping the style shaped and full. Warm copper tones also brighten up each individual curl and offer some dimension to the curl pattern. The cut and copper tones create an overall warm complexion and also draw the eyes to attention. The style will require regular upkeep to maintain the curls and shape, but the copper color does fade nicely, so it will create a longer time frame between maintenance color appointments.
#49 Ruby Red Curls with a Swept Side Fringe
The addition of side-swept bangs adds to the structure of this bob. The bangs provide a modern touch with ample room for re-styling. Also, swept bangs offer an angled look across the forehead, which can be very flattering for ovals and hearts. The ruby red is a very bold color choice and paired with some soft curls will help to balance the brightness of the red. Remember that fine hair is best for curling as it gives the necessary volume to the bob. The side swept bangs will provide more interest than a center bob cut would. Just remember that red hair is the highest maintenance color as it fades very quickly, so frequent appointments will be necessary to maintain the fresh look.
#50 Cascading Chestnut Waves with Thoughtful Layering
With this special cut, the layers show gradually. First, you’ll notice movement, then you’ll pick up on volume, and then you’ll observe the skilful placement of the layers to achieve both. For finer hair, this is super important as it provides fullness without the bulk, which changes how the hair sits and moves throughout the day. The chestnut colour brightens the complexion and, soft natural curls help frame the face, particularly on those with oval and heart shaped faces. The style easily shifts across different environments without the need to be restyled and that’s what a lot of my clients value most.
