The micro bob is a style that generally gets a woman talking herself out of it before even committing. It’s honestly very frustrating when that happens in my chair. I know going shorter can be a bit scary, but the length is hardly a chin length cut. It’s not like you are getting a face tattoo. One of my clients last year, Sandra, was 63 years old and hadn’t changed her hairstyle since the first Bush administration. She was literally shaking in my chair. I cut the micro bob, styled it, and did the big reveal, and she was crying saying she hadn’t looked like herself in 20 years. That is the difference a good cut can make.
Going shorter can bring a lot of joy. Most think that the micro bob is considered one hairstyle. In fact it is a collection. Each style is based on your hair texture, density, part, and attitude. There’s a polished and sleek, some choppy, and some have a gorgeous soft lived look, like you just got back from somewhere interesting. I’m going to take you through my favorites for women over sixty. If it’s gonna need a blowout every morning, I’ll say that and if it’s gonna be wash and go magic, you’ll know that too.
#1: Layered Silver Micro Bob That Actually Moves
This hairstyle can give off the impression that you have weekly appointments for blowouts, when in reality, all you have is a quality cut. It falls right around your jawline, and has enough texture that it won’t look like a helmet (which is an absolutely valid concern to have with shorter hair). This will also be great for people with fine or medium-textured hair, as those layers will add a lot of movement that could be lost otherwise. The style is incredibly low-maintenance, and you can just spray a bit of texturizing spray and head right out the door, or you can spend ten minutes with a round brush if you want to look like you have some big plans for the day. The only downside with the cut is that you will have to get used to how short it is, and it will require you to come back frequently to keep it tidy.
#2 Platinum Rounded Bob with That Perfect Side Fringe
This is obviously a high-maintenance haircut, and I honestly don’t care. Look at the rounded crown lift and soft side-swept fringe. This is a soft look and the rounded crown lift offers volume to fine hair that never gets to reach that level of volume. Yes, it does require a round brush and blowout routine to achieve the look, but if you have been wanting a haircut that requires daily styling, then this haircut rewards you for the effort. This haircut will NOT look good on very coarse hair as it is more work to style!
#3 That Salt-and-Pepper Ear-Grazer Everyone Keeps Asking Me About
When people ask what cut I recommend for an ‘effortless’ style, I usually respond with something that involves lots of steps. This style is basic and the braid is just adding an extra flair that’s not needed. The razor-textured ends, side-swept and slight tapers give it direction. It almost has this fancy appearance. However, this is best for someone with natural movement in their hair. If you live near water, the humidity will create a lot of frizz, so be sure to have an anti-frizz serum. But, this is as low-maintenance as it gets with a micro bob.
#4 Silver Chin-Grazer with That Stacked Back Situation
The internal stacking on this cut gives it a side profile that is almost architectural and with silver hair it will reflect light beautifully. Most people don’t notice the detail of temple feathering, but the impact is quite strong. It softens the eye and cheekbone area far more than a blunt perimeter could. That said, it takes a specific kind of stylist, one who knows their way around graduations because if the stack is off just a bit, you get unintended bulk. Hair that is best suited is fine to medium. Coarse hair will definitely get us a mushroom situation and that’s not the goal.
#5 Rounded Jaw-Grazer with the Crown Lift That Won’t Quit
This style includes a tucked nape roll, giving the haircut an ethereal floating quality; the hair appears to float around the jawline instead of resting on it. The internal crown stacking gives lift in that area that women over 60 typically lost volume, and the soft side fringe also helps to balance everything out so that the entire look isn’t overly rigid. For those who are beginning to notice that their hair is starting to go a bit flat on the top, this would be a great haircut to try without having to reach for volumizing products. That said, if you want to achieve that inward roll, you’ll definitely need to do a round-brush blowout or a straightening iron. So if you’re really against heat styling, you might want to keep scrolling.
#6 Rounded Chin-Length Bob with Stacking and a Little Fringe Moment
The crown lift is designed so well that you can’t really figure out where the volume is coming from, but it gives your hair an illusion of way more volume than it actually has! It’s the internal stacking at the nape which is doing that, and the side grazing mini-fringe adds a bit of fun without the full bangs commitment. If you are growing out your grey and you need a haircut that makes the transition look more intentional, a soft root-shadow goes really well with this. Ideally, a quick blowout or at least a lifting spray is done most mornings, but it really is super quick, about five minutes quick!
#7 Platinum Bob with Root Shadow and the Easiest Side Sweep
The long side-swept bangs are great because they help open up the eye area, and they do it without looking like they are trying too hard, which is honestly what you want with a good micro bob. The internal graduation gives it some body while the feathered ends help prevent it from looking heavy. Plus, the mid-length lowlight band offers depth without you having to spend three hours getting foils. Also, just remember that styling the side-sweep will require some work on your part as it won’t just fall into that position, so keep that in mind for your morning.
#8 Ear-Grazing Silver Bob with a Little Pastel Surprise
I like your silver hair with the pastel temple tint. It is modern and doesn’t scream “I am trying to look younger,” which is the case for most color options. The graduation is going to have to be super precise. It needs to be really well sculpted, so don’t let your cousin’s friend do it in her kitchen. Seriously, go for someone who knows how to do this with short hair. Silver fades faster than pre-lightened hair, so you are going to have to refresh it more often than you think. The maintenance will be worth it.
#9 Pearl-White Micro Bob with That Sheer Little Bang
Most of the time, people are surprised when I say I like micro bangs, and I can say that I like them a lot. Sheer bangs give a more open look to the eyes, and avoid a heavy curtain look that thick bangs are known for. The ethereal look of a pearl white base is so much more appealing to the eyes. Internal graduation gives you lift without the excess weight, and that is the kind of balance that is needed with hair this light and this short. Just to be clear, a crown cowlick and very fine ones are a real challenge, so I suggest a lot of thinning to help it sit properly. Also, short bangs are a maintenance commitment. You will have to trim them every three weeks or they will look bad.
#10 Silver Rounded Bob with the Long Fringe Everyone Wants
I do this cut at least twice a week because I get so many women looking at it and pointing, which is honestly the best compliment a haircut can get. The long side-swept fringe is super flattering on everyone and the internal stacking actually gives you volume that even lasts through the day, so you won’t be deflating by lunchtime. If you have a little crown cowlick, that’s even a bonus here because it goes perfectly with the lift. For the fringe, you’ll need to do a controlled blow-dry and it can’t just air-dry and behave, and if your hair is on the finer side, I would recommend a root-lift product.
#11 Silvery Chin-Grazer with That Quiet Elegance
While some haircuts make noise, others prefer to let their work do the talking. This hair cut falls within the later, sure its confident enough to remain silent. The low internal graduation and subtle side part create the illusion of natural hair fall which is indicative of an excellent cut. The silvery dimension is stunning. The shade of silver will spark questions as to whether you color your hair which is the best compliment to natural grey hair. A quick blow dry or some light smoothing is all that is needed to keep the undercurved look intentional. The micro bob approaches elegant simplicity with this look.
#12 Platinum Chin-Grazer with Textured Face-Framing
I really love the way point-cut texturing looks so soft and feathery with hair ends that almost seem non-existent, making it look like the hair just floats around the face. This style really helps to show off the cheekbones, which longer hairstyles don’t do at all. A lot of older women may not realise how great this style can be, and how much better it can make you look than when you were 35. This is because having shorter hair can really help emphasise the bone structure. The nape graduation offers some nice crown lift and is great because it doesn’t look too stacked or too old-fashioned. If your hair is on the finer side, a little inner layering and soft root shadow will keep it from looking flat, but if your hair is really coarse or heavy, it will lose that light, airy look altogether.
#13 Feathered Silver Bob That Plays Nice with Glasses
If you wear glasses every day, you need a hairstyle designed for them, and this is exactly that. The fringe is cut to just above the frames so it won’t get caught and pushed around a lot, and the layered crown will give you some height that will be above the glasses line. The graduated layers make the cut light and airy, which is good because glasses add visual weight to the face. In addition, you will have to be specific about the fringe length every time you get a trim because even a quarter inch will make a difference between perfect and annoying.
#14 Silver Chin-Grazer with Root-Shadow Depth
The root shadow on this cut is clever as it gives depth at the crown without an obvious line, meaning your grow out is pretty much invisible for weeks longer than a typical single process would allow you. The internal graduation at the nape gives you some lift which you can keep by using a round brush or a diffuser if you have some wave, so it’s flexible for the morning. The long face framing layers do something really flattering around the jaw that I think is overlooked, they soften without concealing.
#15 Textured Bob with Wispy Curtain Bangs That Actually Work
The style *“Curtain bangs on a micro bob”* can go either way. In this instance, it works. The softness in the bangs creates a nice flow, and the pointed texturing of the rest of the cut also matches the wispy energy so it all works together nicely. nnI enjoy the slight crown area cowlick because it gives a lot of natural volume which is essentially free height. However, if your hair is really coarse or thin, this will not hold as well. But after that, you’re good to go. This style will get you compliments. Even the strangers in the grocery store will notice how cute and effortless this style is.
#16 Rounded Silver Chin-Length Bob with Built-In Lift
The internal graduation is what creates natural crown lifts on this cut, not product or heat. It does mean that this is one of the more honest cuts in terms of how much time you have to spend on it in the mornings to look neat and tidy. A quick round brush and you’re set. The lowlight band in salt and pepper right by the part is a great little depth trick, and the grow out becomes a non-issue. This is the type of color placement that I find low-key genius. It isn’t a great option for very curly or coarse hair because the graduated shape needs a little bit of smoothness to read correctly.
#17 Airy Silver Bob with Radial Crown Layers
I get overly excited when someone’s natural cowlick works to their advantage and this hairstyle uses one to create some lift that looks intentional. The radial layers at the apex of the crown fan out and up, and the point-cut ends keep everything feathery rather than chunky. A subtle root shadow gives the silver some depth so it doesn’t read flat in photos, which matters more than people think. Flyaways are the trade-off with this much texture, so keep a lightweight styler handy. An ash gloss every few weeks should be considered to keep the silver tone cool and clean.
#18 Polished Silver Blunt Bob That Means Business
This is the micro bob equivalent to a blazer; everything about it says “I have my life together.” With the blunt perimeter being thick and precise, it will make fine hair look fuller in a way that layers sometimes can’t and the internal nape soft graduation will prevent it from looking boxy. The shadow root at the part keeps the eye interested by adding just the right amount of depth. This style takes an incredibly skilled cutter, as there is no hiding in a blunt bob, and daily smoothing will be necessary to maintain that sleek inward curve. If you like things polished, then you know this is your cut.
#19 Ash-Brown Graduated Bob with a Soft Fringe
Your salt and pepper mix with ash-brown lowlights is extremely unique and beautiful! I love that you embrace gray hair. I believe more women should adopt this philosophy. The radial graduation adds some nice crown lift, and with the point-cut ends, everything stays soft. Plus, there’s a little cowlick blended into the layers that contributes some natural volume! The face-framing fringe will need some extra styling though. You might not want to wash and go with hair this soft. It will do whatever it wants so it may need a little guidance with a brush to steer it in the right direction.
#20 Forward-Angled Silver Bob with Deep Side Part Drama
The deep side part and forward angle create a beautiful, sweeping line from the back of the head to the jaw and visually elongate the neck. This is one of the subtle ways to make a haircut look expensive. The interior graduation offers lift while maintaining the angle clean and the blended silver root shadow keeps the color looking natural instead of done. To maintain the angle, a lightweight volumizing product is absolutely essential as fine hair will lose that drape by the afternoon if not styled. Daily styling is a must.
#21 Silver Face-Framing Bob with a Bright Center Streak
The way the bright silver center streak draws the eye, and the strong choice of colors is most definitely not an accident. It works beautifully. The internal graduation at the crown and feathered face-framing layers give you both width and softness simultaneously, and that’s a combination that is easy to love but hard to achieve. A subtle root shadow adds contrast without obvious grow-out lines. If your hair is very coarse and heavy, you’d need extra layering to not overwhelm the shape. That crown volume is also something everyone needs some daily root-lift styling to keep it looking like this and it’s totally worth it.
#22 Crisp White Bob with Diagonal Fringe Perfection
The diagonal fringe on this style has the added effect of creating a visual lift across the face, and quite frankly, that’s geometry doing its job. I appreciate it. The internal rounded graduation gives a nice polished shape with minimal heat, and on fine to medium straight hair this is going to be the easiest cut to maintain on this list. Internal point texturizing is essential to avoiding a boxy appearance with fine hair, and if you want to keep that nice and cool white tone, you will be using purple shampoo. That is non-negotiable.
#23 Corkscrew Curly Bob That’s All About the Coils
I truly enjoy when a client with curly hair comes in asking for a micro bob! The change in energy is incredible. Look at this example. Those corkscrew 3b/3c curls are adorable, but due to the hair shrinkage, it will look a lot shorter than it actually is. Your stylist will have to take this into consideration and that’s why she’s going to cut it dry. The radial soft graduation will add some structure, so don’t be alarmed when it looks like it’s going to pull up a lot. Curls have a tendency to go up a lot, and that will give you a lot of lift. All you will need is some great curl cream and a diffuser! You can tell your stylist to do some low-elevation point cutting and it will turn out wonderfully as long as they don’t hedge trim the curl clusters.
#24 Silver Chin-Length Bob with Feathered Graduation and a Sweet Little Fringe
I really like the center part micro-fringe. It’s the right amount of fringe and forehead to create a soft, whimsical look. I love that it adds so much character to a look without the maintenance of full bangs. With this haircut, the feathered gradation gives a nice crown lift, plus the silver will be softer rather than harsh with the point cut ends. If your hair is really thick, this will need some serious internal thinning, but fine to medium hair will look really good and dry quickly with this. This is one of those underrated short hair benefits that I feel like doesn’t get mentioned often enough.
#25 Warm Chestnut Bob That Hides Everything You Want Hidden
The warm chestnut color on this cute style makes the skin look great! This is one of the things that reminds me a color is not just a color; it is about everything it interacts with. The soft, face-framing layers, along with the subtly stacked back, create the fullness where you want it. If you have mild thinning, this cut will conceal it without it looking like it’s trying to do that. The feathery bangs and small crown cowlick work together for a natural lift. You will need to do a round-brush blowout to keep the inward curve looking like that, but it is a low time investment.
#26 Silver Stacked Bob with Side-Swept Everything
The volume starts at the nape with the hair texture and builds up to create a really nice graduated shape. The long bangs with the extreme side part provide that touch of drama without being too much. The natural root shadow gives depth and keeps the silver from reading as one dimensional. Daily shaping will be required to maintain the side sweep and this may not work on very coarse curls. If you have an oval face and fine to medium straight hair, you will look amazing.
#27 Textured Wavy Bob for the Wash-and-Walk Crowd
I mean this cut is great for you if you like towel-drying your hair and leaving the house. I’ve had clients say they did nothing to their hair after getting the cut and it still looked great. The soft layers help your hair to look wavy, and give it the kind of movement that looks voluminous even if your hair is on the thinner side. Minimal styling is required with the hair, and the styling routine relies on minimal effort to achieve thick looks. A texture spray may really be all you need. For thick hair, some thinning may be necessary to help the hair look cute.
#28 Feathered Textured Bob with That Just-Right Jawline Length
This hairstyle is very versatile because it is cut along the jawline. If you’re looking for a more polished appearance, feel free to tuck your hair behind your ear. You can also leave your hair down for a more carefree look. Both styles are fantastic! This hairstyle also includes some lovely layering that will give your hair some movement that fine to medium hair often lacks. It evokes a youthful feel to your hair which is often lost in haircuts that are very tidy and polished. Due to the fact that this hairstyle will need products to maintain the look, it may be bothersome if you don’t use hair products very often.
#29 Soft Curly Bob That Lets Your Texture Do the Talking
With this haircut, you’re really able to celebrate your natural curls! Instead of fighting the tendencies of your hair, you get to work with your hair and let this cut improve your ideal look. The subtle layers that add bounce to your hair help disrupt the curl formation as they begin to frame your face. It looks so soft and so flattering. As one get’s older, it takes more effort to keep curls, but this cut is really low effort (and that is the goal). To achieve great curl definition, a good and moisturizing curl cream is a must, along with a diffuser when you want your curls to be more on the defined side.
#30 Defined Curly Bob with Serious Personality
Confidence is all over this cut. The personality it possesses is unlike anything a straight bob can offer, and that’s something to be celebrated. The slight layering creates a perfect balance that most stylists get wrong by reducing bulk without flattening the curl pattern. That means whoever does this for you needs to understand how to cut dry curly hair. This cut hits just below the jawline, the perfect place to highlight curl definition while keeping everything in the area controlled. Because split ends in curly hair happen way faster than they do in straight hair regular trims are crucial. Once the ends get scraggly the whole shape of the haircut can get out of order.
#31 Silver Textured Bob with Effortless Waves
I will fight for the natural silver that is found on this cut and how it fabulously compliments more mature skin tones compared to any kind of dyed blonde. The soft waves add volume to fine hair without any heat or effort and the layers make movement rather than allow the cut to just sit there. This cut makes people assume you’ve been effortlessly stylish even if your last haircut is an uncomfortable topic. Just a tiny bit of wave-enhancing spray on damp hair and you’re finished. This is how a good haircut should work.
#32 Playful Curly Bob with Volume That Doesn’t Quit
A cut just above the chin creates a silhouette that can be youthful without looking young, a distinction I think is important and most people don’t discuss enough. The soft layers will allow the natural curls to move and expand, and the volume created with fine to medium hair is impressive considering the little amount of work that is required. The framing effect is particularly good on round and oval faces as the curls add width at just the right height. You will need a curl defining product to keep things smooth and puffy, but that’s more of a thirty second step than a whole routine.
#33 Choppy Textured Bob with Highlights That Catch Everything
This style has some highlights which add dimension to the hair. The way the color and cut come together shows that this stylist knows what they’re doing. The gentle waves and fun layers stop the hair from looking too ‘done’ and gives fine hair the volume it usually lacks. The chin length shows off the texture and is also really easy to manage. To keep the layers from looking grown out and to keep the shape, you’re going to want to book a trim every five to six weeks.
#34 Elegant Blunt Bob with Feathered Ends That Soften Everything
This blunt bob cut is doing what I always want blunt cuts to do: add softness while still keeping the line. It shows off the jaw line in a way that longer hair hides, and one of my favorite things about this job is seeing women discover their jaw for the first time after going shorter. The front layering is subtle, and while it adds dimension and maintains the uniformity of the cut, it is a lower styling maintenance option. Blunt cuts do require regular trims because they get a lot less intentional with even slight growth unevenness.
#35 Silver Bob with Soft Layers and That Effortless Quality
The layered cut is incredible! It brings everything together, and even in a posed shot, you can see how dynamic the hair looks because of the movement from all the layers. A lot of the time, you see layers that are choppy or poorly distributed, but that is not the case here. Fine hair is often seen as undesirable, but I appreciate that this cut takes advantage of the weightless looks that are only possible with fine hair. For this style, air-dried hair with a few soft scrunches and a light hold spray will create the perfect soft wave look.
#36 Textured Bob with Subtle Layers and Optional Soft Bangs
This haircut has soft bangs that provide added versatility for styling. In terms of fine hair, subtle layers have the added benefit of the haircut doing a good job at framing the face, keeping the hair out of the eyes, and creating the illusion of where the weight is distributed from. When it comes to fine hair, volumizing mousse and root lift products are a must to provide some nice volume because the struggle against fine hair and gravity is real.
#37 Asymmetrical Soft Bob with That Quiet Polish
While the asymmetry of this style may not seem very pronounced, visually, there is a greater sense of length, which creates a nice line that a symmetrical cut wouldn’t accomplish. This haircut really brings out the natural shine of fine, straight hair, as well as its healthiness and intention. The layers in this haircut creates movement that is ideal. It keeps everything interesting while not going overboard. Since less dense hair is involved, a little extra styling to achieve and keep that volume is desirable. However, this cut will provide the structure to keep everything looking great.
#38 Golden Textured Bob That Warms Up Everything
This cut features a warm golden hue which looks amazing against the skin and creates a warm and healthy glow that cooler tones simply can’t achieve. For the ladies who have been doing cool-tones for years and been wondering why they look so washed out; this is your answer. The soft layers add movement and the chin-length framing draws attention to the best features on every face, the eyes and cheekbones. Highlights give dimension, and instead of needing to do a full foil every 6 weeks, your wallet will definitely thank you. Other than your regular trims to maintain the shape, that’s pretty much your whole maintenance list.
#39 Textured Bob with Soft Feathered Layers and Natural Movement
I believe that good layering is essential, and these feathered layers give a more volumized look that makes it seem like there is more hair than there actually is. This style hits just above the shoulders, which in the hair industry is considered the sweet spot. It’s long enough to give the feeling of having length, but short enough to be easy to manage, and that’s the compromise most women over 60 are looking for, even if they don’t say it. This also works well for a face frame if your face is oval or round, because it creates more balance and dimension to the style. While it does require some upkeep to maintain the shape, styling it will be a breeze once it’s done.
#40 Textured Below-Chin Bob with Soft Versatile Volume
This cut rests just below the chin giving it that versatility you want. You’re able to dress it up for a nice dinner or dress it down for Saturday errands. And the best part, you don’t have to do much to switch up the style! The soft layers will give your hair a bit of volume, which is great. It’s especially great in medium density hair to keep it from looking bulky. As for the texture, it can be playful or sophisticated, allowing you to have multiple options which is super practical. You may have to style it a bit on days when your hair doesn’t want to cooperate, but most days a quick shake is all it really needs.
#41 Soft Textured Bob with Waves That Blend Gray Beautifully
From my extensive experience in the industry, I have noted that optimal blending of gray hair typically requires texturized, layered cuts. Wavy hair reflects light in a way that can mask the stark contrast between colored and gray strands, and this cut achieves that, which I think is a rather underrated quality, especially given that it can be achieved without the use of color. For an oval or heart face shape, shoulder-length strands provide a lifting effect on the face by softly highlighting the jawline whilst avoiding any heavy coverage. The added texture from these layers also contributes to a youthful impression that avoids looking overdone. While some light styling may be necessary to keep the waves consistent, this type of wave is actually quite forgiving of any unevenness.
#42 Silver Bob with Subtle Layering and Natural Shine
This haircut has soft subtle layers that adds movement and leaves the surface unbroken. This will give a natural shine and dimension. For fine hair and oval faces, this cut sits below the chin at an ideal spot to accentuate the jaw and let the silvers shine. I believe that cut silver hair is more luminous than any dyed colors, and this cut exemplifies that. The low maintenance is there too. With regular trims and a bit of smoothing, it will be effortless.
#43 Blunt Bob with Bangs That Change the Whole Game
The bangs are super eye-catching, which is pretty bold, I think more women should try that. The bob is right below chin level, which highlights the structure of her face, while the bangs and bob combo gives a nice graphic touch to the overall look. This works really well on medium thin hair, as it gives off that effortless polished look. But I will be honest, this look requires a lot of maintenance. The bangs and the bob are going to need to be trimmed a lot because of the overall look, and if the grow out too much, you lose that nice sharp look that really makes the hairstyle.
#44 Textured Bob with Bangs That Frame Without Trying Too Hard
These bangs look nice and effortless and that’s a sign of a true professional. They are even, intentional, and expertly designed to create a look that appears very effortless. The structure of the cut that falls just above the jawline combined with a cutting density that is fine to medium, creates a face framing fullness where volume is most needed. The added soft layers and the movement of the cut alive also gives the cut a more youthful appearance. In theory, this cut is low maintenance. However, if you are the type of person who prefers a more hands-on approach to maintenance rather than opting for a cut with no bangs, then this is the cut for you. Bangs do enhance styling options and versatility, however, there is more responsibility involved to keep things looking neat and controlled.
#45 Soft Bob with Defined Bangs and Just Enough Wave
The bangs stand out against the wavy texture in the rest of the hair. This combination of structured and softer elements is very intriguing. The cut sitting just above the chin is ideal as it shows off the upper features. With this style, you won’t be overloaded with fine to medium hair. The soft wave style adds to the natural volume which is always better than a look created with product. With bangs you will have to accept that more regular trims will be needed to the rest of the haircut to keep their shape and that is just the reality of having bangs, and there really is no point in resisting it.
#46 Blunt Bob with Textured Ends That Save It from Being Boring
A blunt cut may seem harsh, but it’s finished off nicely with soft-textured ends to ensure it remains modern. For those with fine to medium density hair, a blunt perimeter provides an illusion of increased volume. Textured ends stop the wig appearance that more blunt bobs have than people care to admit. This cut is stunning on oval and heart face shapes as it beautifully accentuates the features. It will also require regular trimming as the blunt ends show growth unevenly.
#47 Textured Jawline Bob with a Tousled Finish
What this cut does with a tousled finish is amazing. It brings texture, volume, and personality all at once. For finer hair with a lower density, it still holds a substantial look without being too heavy. The length that touches the jawline nice frames round and oval face shapes, and the subtle layers underneath add movement that you can see even if you don’t style it. To keep that messy look, a dry texture spray is great, though on some mornings the hair wakes up looking like that, which is ideal.
#48 Golden Bob with Natural Bounce
The combination of a golden tone and soft bouncy waves is warm and inviting. With this haircut and look, you’ll even get “glowing” compliments while simply running out to the post office to grab the mail. Textured cuts enable movement while keeping everything nice and flowing. This is the kind of detail that elevates a cut from good to great. This shape will align perfectly with your natural waves. Also, if you have fine to medium hair, it’s super easy to maintain this look. Remember that shorter lengths require more regular haircuts. If you tend to go months without visiting the salon, this will be a big decision for you.
#49 Silver Bob with Soft Textured Layers and Slight Asymmetry
“The first thing to note about this cut is the slight asymmetry; it’s not obvious or common, but it will draw the eye along a flattering line to the cheekbones. This is a great turn away from cuts that are typical and boring. This cut will also maximize the airy and light quality that finer hair has. The combination of textured layers and more effort than it looks like you actually put in, will create a great, low maintenance look. This probably will look like a 20 minute style, but you could do it in 4. Because of the precision that is required for this style, I would recommend getting trims regularly once it starts to grow out a bit, as that will help keep the look of the style fresh. For the low maintenance effort that will be required to keep the cut looking great, I think for most women, it is the trade off that makes the most sense.”
#50 Soft Blunt Bob That Frames Everything Perfectly
This cut sits just below the jawline, and its charm lies in the fact that not every haircut must be intricate to make an impact. It comes with medium density, which gives the hair movement and texture. The soft edges provide gentle framing to the face, but not in an obvious way. If you have fine hair, the blunt cut will give added volume and will require little effort to style, as it looks polished even on days when you can’t be bothered to do it. The maintenance is regular, but as far as haircuts go, this is one of the simplest and sometimes that is just what you need.
