The floating bob has been around for some time now, yet people act like it is brand new. A cut like this has finally caught up to what older women have been requesting for a long time. They want something that has movement and doesn’t look rigid or like they set it at 7 a.m. They want a style that looks like them but not just a roll out of bed look. The floating bob accomplishes all of those things, which is why it works.
Last year I had the joy of working with a delightful woman in her sixties. She pulled out a photo of herself from 1987 and said, “I want to feel like that again, but I don’t want to look like that again.” I could have used that comment as a thesis statement for the philosophy of the floating bob. On that same day, we gave her a floating bob, and that night, she sent me a selfie. She said, “My husband asked if I did something different, and I told him I got hotter.” That is what we want and those are the cuts that achieve that.
#1: A Clean A-Line That Actually Delivers
I love starting with this one because this is the cut I reach for when someone sits in my chair and says, ”I don’t know what I want, but I know what I don’t want” and then proceeds to list seventeen other things. This chin-grazing A-line bob is the answer to that conversation every time. The longer front pieces do something really nice around the face without you having to do anything. There’s a little bit of layering in here that gives it just enough personality to keep it from being boring or corporate. This is really going to be your best friend if your hair is on the finer side. It doesn’t need a ton of density to look intentional – you just need to keep your trims on schedule. The second those ends start splitting, the whole shape will fall apart.
#2 Silver Precision That Means Business
This cut is a showstopper. The clean tapering gives it a sort of architectural quality, and on silver hair it reads intentional rather than the “I gave up and let nature do its thing” vibe. If you have an oval or heart-shaped face, this will beautifully frame your jaw. I have to say, the sleekness does need this style to come with some demands to be made; a bit of proper styling is a must. It just takes a decent flat iron and a quick 5-minute commitment, so this cut is going to turn heads as long as you’re willing to show up for that 5-minute styling.
#3 Espresso Waves That Basically Style Themselves
If you have natural waves or curls and have been fighting it, we need to talk. This cut plays into your natural hair texture and creates a gorgeous lived-in look as if you’ve put in loads of effort, when really a bit of mousse and a gentle scrunch is all you need to do. The deep espresso color that transitions into lighter brown tones offers plenty of dimension, so you can have more depth without needing to book a color appointment every four weeks. This cut is not for someone wanting versatility or the ability to pin it up and pull it back in a million different ways. This is the cut for someone wanting one distinct good look and for it to be as simple as possible.
#4 That Ginger Bob Your Friend Has That You’ve Been Jealous Of
You are showing a very specific picture. This warm tawny hair paired with soft waves and layers that gives fine hair the illusion of being twice as full. That color does all the talking and I won’t sugarcoat it, it’s warm and alive and beautifully compliments the skin, but it IS a big commitment. Ginger it fades faster then pretty much any other shade so you will be seeing your colorist really soon to keep up the intensity. Face framing with the hair not being so short that you feel exposed, at this length it’s a commitment but totally worth it!
#5 The Silver Bob That Proves Less Really Is More
I’ve cut variations of this bob hundreds of times, and it never gets old because it just works, especially on fine straight hair that goes flat and sad by noon. The trick here is the layering technique, it gives the illusion of fullness without all the bulk and it sits right along the jawline to open everything up. With natural silver hair, it gives a look like you actually made a bold choice instead of just skipping the salon. The downside is that you need to come in for trims and touch ups somewhat frequently because as this cut grows out even a tad it starts losing its shape. Also, lighter, sparser hair shows an unkempt look faster than thicker, darker hair, so you have to stay on top of it.
#6 Chestnut Stacked Bob for the Woman Who Has Places to Be
The stack at the back is excellent for root lift and crown volume without giving weight, which fine straight hair rarely gets from a haircut. This brush is just above the nape, and for some reason that length is super flattering for softer jawlines. I do think the cut needs to be super accurate or else it just looks like a grown out bob, so maybe not the one for your cousin’s roommate to do with kitchen scissors. Get someone who can do a proper stack and go back to them every six weeks because this shape needs a lot of maintenance to stay sharp.
#7 Tapered Bob with Bangs That Actually Does What Bangs Promise
Not everyone can pull off side-swept bangs. Most of the time, they can be very unflattering. However, when styled with a taper bob they help soften and highlight the eyes and cheekbones which distracts from other areas. This style is super great for fine hair that lacks volume. If you’re not super low-maintenance you’ll love this style since it looks great without a lot of effort which is great for people who take a lot of pictures. The light blonde color is ideal since it will blend in with any gray hair as well eliminating harsh lines from gray. Overall the look is seamless and as if it was always intended to look that way. The bangs and taper do require regular cuts to maintain the look but are super easy to keep up with on a daily basis.
#8 Textured Chestnut Bob with Highlights Doing the Heavy Lifting
Those highlights aren’t fun. They create an illusion of much fuller hair, and the energy and movement they give the entire cut is magic. The way the highlight capture the light is something special. There’s some slight asymmetry that also really helps focus the eyes on the jawline. I love this for someone who wants a really polished look, but lets the hair do most of the talking when it comes to the design. Once it’s done, the hair should ideally fall into place with the right amount of luck and shape. That being said, shaping visits are a must, but for some reason, yes it’s a lot of work to keep the look, but day to day is simple.
#9 The Gray Graduated Bob Your Hair Has Been Waiting For
A graduated bob on natural gray hair looks undeniably expensive, and there is no need to write the rules to know that. It’s also practical as it is easier to maintain with shorter hair at the back, while the longer front pieces add a feminine touch and give it a finished look. The silky appearance is the result of the combination of the haircut and the hair treatment. When done correctly, the weight of the hair will cause it to fall perfectly. The hair also gives a contouring effect to the jaw, and that is better than using makeup. If your hair grows quickly, you will need to go to the salon more often than you might like to maintain that graduation. But for a polished appearance with little effort, the sacrifice is justified.
#10 Burgundy Layers for When You Want to Feel Something
Sometimes you need a color that gives you life, that is what a burgundy layered bob is. The layered bob could look a bit too corporate, but as you said, the tousling does a lot of work in making this feel light and open and friendlier; it’s a good point because hair shouldn’t feel like a uniform. ..This is a good option for finer hair that could use a bit of added thickness, as the layers create movement that wasn’t there before. The warmth and depth of the burgundy tones adds the appearance of thickness. The demands of the cut as it grows are easy to manage, but the color upkeep is a given as the maintenance is obvious and burgundy will fade.
#11 Salt-and-Pepper Shag That Has No Business Being This Cool
I always appreciate people who want to do this because the combination of dark roots naturally graying is one of the most beautiful things hair can do. Most people try to cover it up before it gets to this point though. Shag layering works with almost any hair thickness which makes my life a little easier. If you have a more rounded face the length and layering here will elongate everything in a very subtle way. The best part is you can let this dry naturally and it will look styled even if you don’t do anything to it. Mixed gray tones can look neglected very easily but the right cut really makes the difference and allows you to go longer in between cuts than people expect.
#12 Cinnamon Stacked Bob That Punches Above Its Weight
The warm cinnamon color with natural highlights shows off the layers beautifully! The stacked bob gives you a lift that looks youthful, and maximizes all of your hair strands and the crown volume adds more. That is also what I recommend for medium density hair as there is enough to keep the shape from going flat. It falls nicely around the cheekbones on oval or heart shaped faces. The caveat is always the same with stacked bobs though. The style is all in the cut’s precision, so if you miss your trim appointments, this goes from intentional to shapeless more quickly than you’d expect!
#13 Swing Bob That Swings in Your Favor
Chin-length hair with warm tones is an ideal combination of modern asymmetry and timeless style. The swing shape is designed to create movement and soft volume around the face, especially on finer textures, and makes styling much easier (aka no products necessary!). If you want to avoid a harsh contrast between your colour and roots every 3 weeks, warm tones work incredibly as they harmonize with grey hair. In my opinion, a great haircut should require minimal styling, and all you need is a round brush and a dryer to achieve your desired look.
#14 Chocolate Bob That Lets Gray Do Its Thing
In the chair, I see some of the most beautiful combinations ever, with gray streaks mixed with a dark chocolate base. I wish people would trust the process more often, instead of covering silver strands every time they see them. The slight asymmetry is gorgeous. It’s interesting, but not too extreme that it looks like you got a statement haircut. The soft layers keep denser hair from looking bulky and the jaw length is flattering in a way that not many lengths can achieve. To keep the movement intentional will require regular shaping with layers, but other than that, this is going to be as low-fuss as it gets.
#15 Copper Layers That Actually Complement Instead of Compete
Copper tones can complement certain skin types, and this layered bobs showcases how to combine elements of style and allow them to harmonize so that the color doesn’t compete with the cut. The bob features stacked layers to add volume in the right places, and the way the bob frames a square or oval face is very strategic. Light skin tones will find this warm copper shade very flattering as it brightens the entire complexion. The smooth texture and overall density of the hair indicates that it is very easy to manage, so the most you will be required to do is maintain your color. Additionally, copper is a color that fades quickly, so expect to spend a fair amount of time in the salon to get your foils refreshed.
#16 Silver Bob for People Who Don’t Need to Try Hard
It seems like a bob is the answer to the question of what makes a good outfit. They go with everything. It’s effortless and classy. A chin-length bob with some layers will give you movement and volume. The combination of grey and silver has an effect that dye could never achieve. Additionally, the soft neckline taper does nice little things to your jaw, and this holds true for any face shape. You will be looking for a blow-dry and a styling cream. It is a fact that a light-colored hair will show a lot of brassiness over time, so a purple shampoo will become your best friend.
#17 Feathered Silver Bob That Knows Exactly What It’s Doing
I love the detailing put into this haircut. I could go into detail about the feathering but I want to talk about the subtle blonde highlights. The bangs that are fuller on top and taper to something less around the face create a great silhouette. It also photos beautifully, especially in combination with her natural gray highlights. The haircut is great for fine to medium hair that wants to look like it has more volume than it actually does. If your hair is very thin or lacking a lot of volume at the crown don’t worry! A little root lifting spray goes a long way.
#18 Platinum Chin-Length Bob for the Bold and Unbothered
I respect anyone that has the gut to go platinum. Especially with shorter lengths where there’s no room to hide. This style does take some maintenance and is definitely not for everyone. The layered undercut helps with volume and texture. This cut could end up looking like a type of helmet which is the biggest risk with sleek short bobs. The chin length is especially bold on an oval face. The reality of maintenance is even more true for platinum. The ice blonde look requires frequent brightening and toning appointments to keep it looking clean and bright. Most people don’t want an intentional brassy look. If you stay on top of your appointments, this look is stunning.
#19 Textured Graduated Bob for Thinner Hair That Refuses to Behave
The graduated layers at the back add fullness while the multi-tonal blonde highlights create dimension—you would never guess the hair underneath is thinner. Because it sits nicely around the cheekbone and jaw areas, this cut is great for square and heart-shaped faces. You can even dry style it, which is super handy if you don’t love blow drying your hair every morning. The layers and color will require maintenance to keep it looking this intentional, but you won’t have to style it much.
#20 Brunette Bob That Gives Fine Hair a Fighting Chance
For fine hair, if someone asks for volume without wanting to look like they have added volume, I suggest this particular cut. The layers provide a more natural look to the body and also the dimension. Hair that is this length, just brushing the shoulders, is very complimentary on both oval and square shapes of the face. A texturizing spray will help to accentuate movement, and also with the added benefit that it will not weigh the hair down, and also the rich brunette colour helps to keep things both grounded and versatile. Remember to keep in mind that shorter styles do require more frequent shaping than longer styles do, when budgeting for salon appointments.
#21 Auburn Tousled Layers for the Fun Aunt Energy
This haircut gives off an unique vibe. It does give off a vibe of a woman at a dinner party who has the best stories and best laugh. That’s the best selling point. The chin length asymmetrical bob is super modern. I warm auburn color really brightens the overall complexion. The layered tousled look is very effortless, and is quite the opposite with straight hair. If you have natural waves, this will be a perfect haircut for you. To be fair, humidity will change how your hair looks so keep that in mind on a damp day.
#22 Silver Layers That Actually Move Like Hair Should
I understand that people get tired of uniform cuts that look “done”. However, this cut is also great. The subtle layering creates movement and life in the hair. This cut allows the hair to appear healthy instead of just gray. The length of the hair frames the face and brings more attention to the cheekbones and eyes. This is exactly what you need when you have colors that do not have a lot of contrast like darker colors. This cut is really great for oval or square face shapes and looks really good on fine to medium hair textures. To maintain a clean silver hair color, you need to have appointments regularly to avoid brassiness. The good thing is that this cut is low on maintenance and it definitely helps with the maintenance.
#23 Ash Blonde Texture That Plays Nice with Gray
This hairstyle offers a money-saving grow-out period because it combines ash-blonde and silver hues. Plus, it gives thin or medium density hair an added volume boost. While this style best fits square and oval faces, it may elongate longer faces even more. Lighter shades tend to become brassy and will require toning treatments to cool things down.
#24 Caramel Rounded Bob That’s Secretly Doing a Lot
The rounded shape and soft layering creates volumetric magic. The caramel color is perfect for warm, healthy skin tones and the length sits right at the shoulders, that sweet spot. You keep some length while avoiding a lot of the annoyances that come with longer hair. Most of the rounded shape is great for heart and oval face shapes, and if you have fine hair, this will create the illusion of thickness without needing any product wizardry. Just keep in mind that the shape will need regular trims as once it starts to grow out unevenly, the entire look will change a lot.
#25 Silver Waves That Look Like They Belong in a French Film
My shoulder-length, silver hair and wavy ends remind me of each gorgeous European woman I’ve admired on the train. It might be my bias, but this look is effortlessly fabulous and is one of the best styles I’ve ever seen. It’s fabulous and so easy, which is why I love it so much! The cut definitely has structure so that ends won’t look flat. I also love that the cut has structure, so my ends won’t look super flat. It’s beautiful and has so much volume, which is something straight hair can’t achieve. It’s so easy, but if I want my hair to look polished, that’s an option. And if I want my hair to look tousled, there is that option too, and that’s what really sells this cut. Since silver hair requires that level of dedication from the stylist, I’ve got to stay committed to the color, but this is totally worth it!
#26 Contoured Silver Bob with Bangs That Mean It
The bangs serve a specific purpose and provide a different shape for the whole face plus added dimension to fine hair in a way that a bob without bangs can’t. The silver shade works well with cooler skin tones because it pairs nicely with their skin’s monochromatic color scheme. This looks super chic and intentional with the contouring on the sides that beautifully softens heart-shaped faces. You will need silver shampoo to combat brassy hair in between appointments since silver tones can show unwanted warmth quickly. The hair tucked behind the ear adds a nice touch to the whole look with a quiet confidence that is so nice to see.
#27 Textured Floating Bob with Highlights That Know Their Place
It seems to be a brilliant tactic to style the warm highlights as to shape the face and reflect the light. While this may be a common approach for colorists, this looks different, and the strategy is paying off. The length also looks very versatile for different face shapes and the layered texture creates that light and airy look that fine hair has, which always photographs beautifully. The general vibe is low maintenance but highlights will need touch ups to avoid an awkward grow out, and those angled layers will make everyday styling a lot easier because the shape does most of the work for you.
#28 Rounded Bob That Quietly Outshines Everything
An ideal rounded bob needs the blending of its layers to be done beautifully as a result of which the form created is of a clean sophistication and that is not easily achieved. This one sits just below the chin. The warm color works beautifully with the structure and the subtle shine tells me that the owner of this hair is putting in the upkeep which is honestly half the battle. The layering gives airy movement without bulk which is the ultimate prize for fine to medium hair and on an oval or heart shaped face this look will be super flattering. Once a rounded bob grows out unevenly it loses all of its charm so regular maintenance is critical to keep the shape looking great
#29 Textured Floating Bob with Highlights That Add Without Overcomplicating
The subtle highlights in this textured bob create dimension without the commitment to a complete color change. The just above shoulder length frames the face without crowding it. The medium density with soft waves adds a natural volume and movement and the overall effect is fresh and modern without the I just left the salon look. This option works especially well with angular faces as the soft textures balance out the sharper perimeter features. Maintaining layered looks requires a little bit of effort but the color commitment is minimal compared to most highlighting situations.
#30 Warm Copper-Gold Floating Bob That Flatters Everyone’s Skin
This float bob paired with these colors, which melt copper into warm golden highlights, creates movement and warmth that is so happy. The color combination will suit every skin tone. The length above the shoulders is flattering to all face shapes. The subtle layering provides that natural bounce to fine and medium hair without the need to do a whole lot. Soft waves are happening over here and this demonstrates that the cut was made to work with the hair, not against it. The cut will provide low maintenance in between appointments and color vibrancy will be needed. However, it will be high effort to keep this look put together.
#31 The Elegant Floater That Does Not Need Your Validation
There are likely many styles to choose from, but this style is very simple and unassuming, yet it manages to intrigue the most people in the setting. This style has layering that is soft and is just above the shoulders. The highlights are very subtle and are not dramatic, so they will look good everyday. I value this style greatly. Hair type that is fine to medium will get the greatest version of this style, as the layers will work as intended, and there will be no competing density. The polished look will be achieved, and it will not require a large time commitment to achieve this look. Hair that is thicker might struggle with this style but with this style, it will be low maintenance and will create a good look daily.
#32 Softly Curved Bob for the Woman Who Trusts the Process
The soft waves in this chin-length bob do something clever. They create body and movement in fine hair without using any layers that could thin it. This style is especially flattering for round and heart-shaped faces since the waves work with the face instead of fighting it. The soft highlights give some extra dimension while being low maintenance, and the cut gives that “I just threw this on” look that very few styles seem to offer. You’ll likely need a curling iron to redo the waves outside of washes, but day-of styling is a breeze!
#33 Layered Floating Bob with Warm Undertones That Actually Deliver
When done wrong, warm undertones have the potential to look like a box-dye nightmare, but this is the opposite. The layered floating bob offers fine and medium hair textures effortless volume and movement. The way the hair frames the face is super flattering for oval and heart shapes and requires no styling whatsoever. A round brush will help you achieve the look you want, and the layers will eventually sit just how you like them, but this is the kind of styling that becomes routine and you don’t even think about it after a week.
#34 Textured Floating Bob with Balayage That Earns Its Keep
Subtle balayage makes this chin-length bob stand out. It creates unstyled and air-dried warmth that dimension which is the ultimate test of good coloring. The soft layers add volume to finer hair without losing body. It shapes oval and heart faces best. The balayage grows out without visible lines so maintenance is low. It will look polished with some styling and you don’t have to try hard to get it looking good. On low effort days it’ll look good with light styling.
#35 Copper-Highlighted Floating Bob with a Soft Landing
The copper highlights on this layered bob look intentional and sun-kissed. It’s a great style for fine hair. The length is at the jawline and has been layered enough to remain light while still retaining some structure. The silhouette is soft and frames the face without overwhelming it. Remember that copper requires frequent touch ups to maintain that brightness.
#36 Warm Auburn Stack That Moves When You Do
A warm auburn color on hair around jaw length makes your face look more radiant. The technique used here provides height and volume at the crown and back without adding any heavy layers to your hair. This length is best on oval and heart shaped faces. The soft layering in medium density hair flows nicely and looks effortless. My favorite part about the movement is that it doesn’t stay still, it shifts and bounces and looks so full of life. Keeping the shape will mean a fair bit of styling and maintenance, and the auburn color will require a few touch ups but the end result is stunning.
#37 Jaw-Length Textured Bob with Warm Balayage That Gets It Right
The warm balayage with a jaw-length cut is face flattering. It is a sophisticated blend of color and texture. With a bob you can really frame your face shape so the cut looks awesome. Just be careful with styling because the bob will look rigid and uninteresting if you go overboard. Bobs are really good haircuts and it’s just a good idea to style them at all so you don’t end up with a look that feels forced. The cut will look amazing with little effort and really shows the barber made the cut with a purpose.
#38 Sleek Dark Floating Bob with Highlights Doing Exactly Enough
Sometimes keeping a highlight low-key is best, and that’s the case here. The subtle dimension against the dark base adds interest without overshadowing the cut. The length, just above the shoulder, creates a universally flattering frame that works particularly well on oval and square face shapes. From this, fine to medium density hair achieves a really nice, clean look, since enough weight is present to maintain the sleek form without any added heaviness. If your hair is very thick, this might require some internal layering or thinning to avoid that triangle look which is undesirable, but this cut is a really solid, chic, and low-maintenance option for most hair types.
#39 Rich Chocolate Bob That Does More Than You Think
The chocolate color is warming the skin tone in a beautiful way. The subtle layering gives just enough volume to make fine to medium textures look good and healthy. This is one of those haircuts where ‘less is more’ is the main concept; it does not need any extravagant details because the shape and color are doing all the work. The framing is especially good for oval and heart shaped faces, and the soft movement from the layers means it won’t ever look flat or boring. To maintain the shape, regular trims are essential, but the maintenance is actually quite low.
#40 Another Textured Floating Bob, but This One Earned Its Spot
Naturally, there are many bob styles in this roundup, and they can start to blur together, but this one deserves its own moment because the way the layers sit around the face is genuinely beautiful, light, and airy, and flattering without trying. Just above shoulder length shows off the neckline and the medium density of fine hair enables the texture to breathe. Framing on an oval or heart-shaped face is really lovely. Subtle highlights provide the right amount of visual interest to keep this from reading as one flat tone. This will take a bit of styling to keep the layers looking their best, but it’s the kind of maintenance that will take you minutes, not hours, to achieve.
#41 Warm Brown Floating Bob That Ages Like Good Wine
This warm brown hue is deep and rich while also having a natural quality that is not overly obvious. This is the best that any color on the hair can look! This length is youthful without being too short. The subtle layers create gentle movement that makes fine to medium hair look so much more lively! Overall the shape of the hair elongates the look of the face which makes my job so much easier when recommending. Easy maintenance for the hair is just regular trims to hold the shape, this is the kind of style that makes you feel like you have effortlessly good hair when really you just have a good stylist.
#42 Warm-Toned Textured Floating Bob That Plays Well With Everyone
This cut is made with soft layers and warm tones of brown. This makes it universally wearable. There are not a lot of cuts that look great on everyone, as most styles only suit certain shapes of faces and certain hair types. That is not the case here, as this cut is ultra versatile. It works on fine to medium hair because the layers create movement and body. The ideal length is just above the shoulders because it is easy to manage without being too short. The color adds depth and fullness to the hair and the trims are an excellent way to keep the shape from looking dull. Aside from that, this cut is simple to maintain.
#43 Radiant Copper Floating Bob That Commands the Room
With softened rounded edges, this bob is chin-length and made of copper. Not everyone will like the color, but it’s gorgeous on certain skin tones. If it’s for you, claim it. The movement created is from fine hair density, and is an asset to the cut. Thicker hair would need to work for that airy feel. Subtle layers are created for texture and to bypass the addition of excessive volume. Rounded edges frame the face, creating soft warmth and vibrance. For this reason, copper is a more difficult color to maintain. It will fade and shift. Before you commit to it, be honest about the upkeep you will need to do.
#44 Textured Floating Bob for the Woman Who Just Wants It to Work
It’s all in the name of this look, pure simplicity. With well defined layers cut into a bob just above the shoulders, the layers fall seamlessly. This is a look that works on any shape of face and any texture of hair. Right from fine to medium, this cut gives a great natural movement and body because of the layers incorporated. The best part about this look is the low maintenance that comes along. With thick hair, the only thing that needs regular refinement is thinning out some of the hair to keep the bulk in check. This no-nonsense look is easy to upkeep and offers a nice change day to day. Most people want a soft look, and these layers do just the trick.
#45 Softly Curved Floating Bob That Whispers Instead of Shouts
I really enjoy this style because of its simplicity and charm. Not every haircut has to scream for attention from all the way across the street. In fact, a style that shows its beauty more gradually can be the most gorgeous. With mid-density hair, the rounded layers and more movement, while the side part adds dimension. Plus, the facial framing layers are just enough to gently lead the eye. The style is made for oval face shapes. The rich color adds shine and vitality and makes the hair look healthy and vibrant. Growth is decent, so the upkeep can be easy, if you prioritize trims to avoid split ends which are the haircut’s biggest enemy.
#46 Softly Layered Floating Bob with Balayage That Grows Out Gracefully
The balayage detail sets this above a regular layered bob since it adds some depth and dimension that grows out well as opposed to a cut line you would manage every six weeks. The soft layers around the shoulders provide fine to medium hair real volume and movement, creating an effortless look. The framing is also very flattering for multiple face shapes and the upkeep is quite easy. Just some occasional maintenance to the layers and a little more regular toning to the balayage if you want to keep it looking nice.
#47 Warm Red Floating Bob That’s More Versatile Than It Looks
Red can be a bold color statement and yes, it can also be made a little softer. This warm red is surprisingly subtle, especially on fair skin where it looks more like a natural color choice. The hairstyle which is just above the shoulders with a few subtle layers creates movement and volume and the shape of the hair frames the face very nicely, especially if you have an oval or heart-shaped face. The texture is soft which helps so the look is none too severe or old-fashioned. As for the color, lighter reds do require more maintenance since they change shades as they fade. Otherwise, the style is easy to manage between color appointments.
#48 Textured Floating Bob with Waves That Don’t Quit
These beautiful waves bring life and dimension to a chin-length cut that might otherwise fall flat. The warm brown has a richness and depth that isn’t too heavy, and the subtle layers support the waves without getting too fussy. It gives that lovely lived-in look that feels effortless, even if it took some work to get there. This construction is best for fine to medium hair types, and a light mousse or spray will help hold those waves for a few days. This is a great cut for someone who doesn’t want to put in a ton of effort, and this is the type of cut I love to give.
#49 Rich Auburn Floating Bob for the Quietly Confident
The deep auburn shade looks marvelous on warm skin tones, achieving a balance with the hair that cooler shades simply cannot provide. The longer front sections give the bob an angle that really flatters round and heart-shaped faces. This cut has an airy, light quality, and movement is created by soft, subtle layers. This is a type of cut that doesn’t need to demand attention to be seen. You can expect low maintenance on this cut, though to maintain the color of the hair you will need to use a color safe shampoo.
#50 Shoulder-Length Textured Bob for Every Occasion You Haven’t Planned Yet
This is the haircut you get if you want to be ready for anything, and for hair that can do it all. This shoulder-length cut with soft movement is adaptable enough to go from Tuesday morning coffee runs to Saturday night dinners out without having to change a thing. Mixed with gentle waves that create a natural bounce, the subtle layers give the hair an effortless look without going overboard. This youthful look doesn’t run into the problem a lot of cuts do of being too young for the wearer. Straight hair may need a little encouragement to get the movement going, but a couple minutes with a curling wand and you’re good to go.
