The first ripple bob cut I did was on a woman in her sixties. She said she wanted “something short but not too short.” To me, that is the epitome of not wanting to commit to a look. I did some very soft internal graduation and let her ends free, creating a loose wave that ended at her jaw. She smiled and said, “Oh that’s me.” That is the response I chase… those are the types of reactions from clients that every stylist dreams about.
The ripple bob is one of the few styles that actually offers movement and volume for more mature hair. If the hair is fine and has started to thin, it may look even fuller with this style because the wave pattern reflects light differently than a blunt cut. It also takes in to account all of the natural textures that develop with age, including coarse bits at the temples, more prominent curls, and greys that come in thicker than the rest. Almost everything working against the hair actually helps to make the style better. I have done this cut on over 40 women and I never get tired of it.
#1: Elegant Silver Ripple Bob with Soft Waves
This cut does the work as soon as the shape is right. The silver looks polished here, not like an unfinished color. The wave pattern just above the shoulders makes the cut easier, and longer silver hair doesn’t usually have that. The layering is my favorite part of this version. It gives movement without the ends looking thin or scraggly, which is what most people do wrong when they try to add texture to fine silver hair, and that’s the biggest mistake. Hair that has any natural wave at all can mostly be air-dried. Just use your fingers to redirect the pieces around your face while it’s still damp.
#2 Warm Copper Ripple Bob with Feathered Crown and Soft Fringe
That copper color is stunning against her skin tone, and the feathered layers that lift at the crown give her the volumne exactly where most women in their sixties start losing it. The babylights through the tips are the best choice because they add a bit of contrast to what would otherwise be a flat single-process color, giving the whole look dimension without looking too highlighted. The bangs are soft enough that she won’t need to worry about any bang maintenance. My only concern is that the shorter ends at the nape might get a little wild as they grow out. She will want to come back for a clean up every five to six weeks.
#3 Textured Chestnut Ripple Bob with Soft Side Lift
The cool part about this cut is the graduation at the nape. It’s subtle enough that you wouldn’t see it from the front, and it’s creating that gentle flip at the bottom which keeps everything from sitting flat against the neck, which is the dead zone for chin length bobs if they’re not shaped well. The warmth of the chestnut tone is spot on, and avoiding red is a tricky line to walk, but it keeps the whole look soft. With natural waviness, this will air-dry nicely with a little anti-frizz product scrunched through the mid-lengths.
#4 Copper Blended Ripple Bob with Soft Feathery Fringe
I always tell clients that with a micro-fringe, there are two possibilities: it will be the best thing you’ve ever done to your hair, or it will be the worst. You’ll get sick of it and it will drive you nuts every morning. There is no middle ground. This one is soft and wispy, rather than cut blunt, so on a bad hair day it will still look intentional. Most people won’t notice the detail, but personally, I think the interior pivot at the nape that creates the under-tuck at the jawline is a game changer. It really cradles and finishes the look rather than just cutting it to one length. The copper will need a gloss treatment every few weeks to keep it from drifting into muddy territory.
#5 Ash-Blonde Wavy Bob with Side-Swept Movement
The blending of ash-blonde hair with silver roots is my top pick of the current hair trends. This blend actually looks better as it grows out rather than having to go into the salon every four weeks. This cut features just the right amount of interior stacking to lift the crown without the shape getting too mushroom-y and the side part is doing all the right things for her face by creating asymmetry when a center part would make everything wider. For thick hair, make sure to tell your stylist to remove some internal weight or else the hair will feel heavy by day two. If your hair is long enough, the ends should be razor texturized. If your temples are starting to look a bit hollow, those soft wisps framing the face will help with that.
#6 Pastel Rose Ripple Bob with Interior Lift
I’ll be honest: women in their sixties can sometimes come across as very chic or very much the opposite with the use of pastel colors, and the difference is almost entirely in the execution. This one works because the rose color is muted and wearable rather than sugary and bubblegum-ish, and the root melt stops the wiggy look of it sitting on top of her head. The inner layering is giving lateral lift at the temples, which is exactly where the volume is needed if you’re working with any softening of the jawline. The downside of pastels is that they fade faster than almost any other color category, so you’re committing to maintenance whether you want to or not.
#7 Deep Burgundy Textured Ripple Bob with Wispy Fringe
Deep burgundy suits women losing warmth to their skin because it provides an ideal balance between dramatic and everyday while also nicely contrasting the underlying tone. The fringe is designed to be soft enough not to form a harsh line and the staggered pointed cut layers bestow on the overall look the motion characteristic of natural layers. I will be frank with how high the maintenance is; red hair is the fastest to fade of any color and so you will be needing a deposit only gloss between appointments, plus an iron will be required for an even wave pattern 5 minutes will give you the wave pattern co-operate needed to with your hair. Plus, an iron will be required for an even wave pattern 5 minutes will give you the wave pattern needed to co-operate with your hair.
#8 Stacked Ripple Bob with Side Pivot and Natural Root Blend
It feels like this whole style was created with intention around the silver detailing at the temples, and I don’t see how that could be an accident. It brightens the entire face framing without needing full grey coverage, and that is really nice. The interior graduation really does create some nice crown lift; I also enjoy the longer right front piece as it gives a nice swing and draws the eye really nicely. Overall, the forgiving nature of the cut means it can look nice even on a bad hair day. However, you will need a diffuser or some light mousse to maintain the ripple definition between washes.
#9 Feathered Golden Ripple Bob with Airy Layers
A small temple is located in one of the cuts that people pass without noticing. It is doing a remarkable amount of structural lifting work to the cheekbone line and building an asymmetry that keeps the whole shape from appearing too round. The warm blonde color paired with a natural root shadow is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to look like they are battling against their natural color progression, and the lowlights provide just the right amount of contrast to prevent it from looking flat in pictures. If your crown is thinner, be careful because a cut that is this elevated and airy can reveal sparse areas instead of covering them, so discuss that with your stylist before going for it.
#10 Sunlit Copper Ripple Bob with Curtain Sweep
The extra length on the left-side drape is positioned perfectly to soften smile lines; this is the detail that enhances a good haircut to one that takes years off. The copper here is warm and alive instead of brassy, although keep in mind that copper is always one missed purple shampoo session away from turning on you. The interior layering gives a crown lift without removing the weight you need at the bottom to keep the shape. On fine hair, root-lifting mousse applied to damp hair and then diffused will hold the ripple pattern all day.
#11 Caramel Textured Bob with Airy Root Separation
This may look like an easy separation of the roots, but it takes a fair bit of precision for the visual to work. The short layers just remove the right amount of weight to allow the roots to lift, and the ends are razor cut to keep the bottom from feeling blunt or heavy. The left side flip creates a lovely natural face-framing effect and you will not even need to use product. This case is perfect for someone who does not want to spend 20 minutes on a styling routine every morning. The warm caramel will get brassy and to keep it honest you will need a clear gloss every few weeks.
#12 Copper Wave Bob with Micro-Razor Texture
Micro-razor point cutting allows an effect to be achieved that ordinary shears cannot, which is creating ends that are almost transparent. This can make fine and medium textures appear thicker than they actually are. The little side-sweep micro-fringe that tucks into the wave is a clever way of dealing with temple thinning without having to go all the way to a full fringe. The babylights around the face brightn and draw the eye up. Given the density modification, this has to be one of the best ripple bobs I’ve seen because each part of the cut is designed to give the illusion of more hair.
#13 Blended Blonde Ripple Bob with Long Side-Sweep
The widening part is one of those things that annoys people more than they’d like to admit, and this cut addresses it with layered insides and strategically placed babylights that diffuse the scalp line. The long side sweep creates movement so the eye is drawn to the waves and not the part – that’s the aim. The blonde will need toning to stay cool. Warm blondes can go ashy to brassy in about 3 weeks depending on your water, and a lot of sun exposure.
#14 Blended Blonde Ripple Bob with Root Shadow and Soft Stacking
The root shadow technique is smart because instead of counting regrowth as a negative, it will become a part of the design. The interior stacking at the nape is what gives the shape its backbone — creating that rounded, tucked-under finish, making sure a chin-length bob isn’t just hanging there. A round brush or medium barrel is needed for daily shaping, as well as a lightweight anti-frizz product to keep the texture smooth without added weight. For really coarse, heavy hair, point-cutting the interior is essential.
#15 Ripple Bob with Feathered Face-Framing and Side Curtain
I find myself telling clients all the time, the crown cowlick is doing this cut a huge favor. A cowlick at the crown gives you built-in lift that others have to achieve with a whole lot of product and a blow dryer to do. So if you have one, think of it like an asset, not a problem. The light-feathered face-framing layers she has are soft enough to move when she turns her head and the side curtain fringe is perfect for bridging the gap between having bangs and not having bangs which is great if you’re unsure about the commitment. A low contrast root melt takes care of the salt and pepper regrowth perfectly so it doesn’t look like you just got your hair done.
#16 Chestnut Ripple Bob with Babylight Depth
Baby lights and lowlights together mimic the effect of hair being lit from behind. This looks much more sophisticated than single-process color would look at this stage. The waves are enhanced by a crown cowlick which provides natural lift and the internal layers stop the shape from collapsing between appointments. This is the kind of cut and color combo that looks expensive in a way that’s effortless, and that’s exactly the sweet spot. Light heat styling using a 1 inch barrel or a diffuser will return the ripples after a wash.
#17 Dark Chocolate Ripple Bob with Micro-Bangs
A good micro bang is hard to come by, but a soft, oval face shaped is a great canvas for these types of bangs, as it allows plenty of space for the bangs to breathe. The nested waves at the nape of the neck provide a beautiful grounded silhouette to the overall look so the bangs aren’t overwhelming. I also really love that single silver strand in the part as it is a natural highlight that no colorist could plan better. If you want to replicate that kind of dimension throughout, fine babylights will get you there without losing the richness of the dark chocolate base. The micro bangs will need to be trimmed every three to four weeks, end of discussion.
#18 Copper Ripple Bob with Diagonal Pivot and Micro-Fringe
The diagonal pivot at the ear may go unnoticed by many, but this is the detail that actually allows the haircut to guide the shape and movement, as opposed to having everything just fall straight down. The micro-fringe is great for opening up the eye area, and for someone who has hooded lids or thicker brows, that is a nice detail, but is practical as well. An S-wave finish may look complex, but once you know how to do it, it’s actually really simple. All you need to do is some finger waving on damp hair with product, or use a 1-inch curling barrel on dry hair to achieve this.
#19 Side-Parted Ripple Bob with Ashy Depth
The areas where hair is thinning can appear to have more hair due to the ash-blonde lowlights that blend the different hair colors. The lowlights also make the hair look thicker. Soft frame graduation is a special technique that doesn’t take a lot of maintenance since the graduation creates volume at the crown and the deep side part pushes the hair, so these two together create looks that seem more organized than just parted to one side. You might need to clear some space at your part for an aggressive cowlick, which may push hair in the direction opposite to where you want it. If you think you will be battling the cowlick every morning, be sure to talk to your stylist about cutting the cowlick to remove that problem.
#20 Short Copper Ripple Bob with Feathered Crown
The personality of this cut comes from the graduation that pivots at the crown to create volume and a slight tousled effect. The multi-tonal red has more dimension than flat copper and can appear thicker because it reflects light at different levels. Fine to medium hair that is point cut will hold this shape the best, although you will have to style it every day with a diffuser or soft round brush to achieve that airy effect. Since warm reds shift tones faster than any other color, the copper will need glossing more frequently to maintain it.
#21 Softly Feathered Ripple Bob with Built-In Volume
The entire foundation of the cut depends on the built-in crown lift from the cowlick, and the stylist illustrated clearly that all the other elements are meant to support this feature rather than contradict it. Root feathering and soft low lights give depth at the base, and the reverse barrel ripple at the ends gives the shape its signature finish. This is one of the easier ripple bobs to maintain at home, as the cowlick does half the volumizing work for you: you just need to direct it. Where it won’t work is on very fine, stick-straight hair with no natural texture because the ripple needs at least a suggestion of wave to hold.
#22 Chestnut Ripple Bob with Interior Stack and Temple Feathering
Temple feathering is a subtle change, but it has a huge impact. Especially with the sideburns, hair can look heavy or bushy as bulk is removed there. Keeping the extended face-framing layers even longer maintains a much clearer line from the ear to the chin. The offset side part combined with a little crown boost is a very understated way to reduce forehead lines because the hair falls over them instead of creating a horizontal line above them. You will need some root lift or a 1.5” barrel to put the ripples back in after washing, and a demi-permanent gloss is suggested to keep the chestnut from going flat between color services.
#23 Root-Lifted Ash Ripple Bob with Reverse Stacking
Reverse stacking at the nape (the back of the neck) gives root lift without teasing or back combing and problem solves the volume issue. This is a technique more stylists should use. For gray camouflage, the ashy blonde lowlights are perfectly placed at the temples, and the point cut ends that tuck under are very cheek-bone lifting in a super photogenic way. However, this cut relies on daily heat styling to maintain the ripple effect, so for those wash and go people, this is going to be more work than you’d like. It is best suited to medium to thick hair as you will want the density to hold the waves without the need for extra assistance.
#24 Silver Ripple Bob with Soft Graduation
A crown cowlick has been used as a feature in the graduation cut instead of being fought against it, and it gives a natural lift that would take a round brush and fifteen minutes to achieve otherwise. The silver-beige toner keeps the grey looking polished rather than yellowish, and this is the most common complaint I hear from women who are growing out their natural silver. This is a cut that will require some setting, either with a medium barrel or finger waves, because the graduation combined with the fine to medium texture will not hold the ripple on their own. But once it’s set, it stays, and the shape is genuinely beautiful from an oval face.
#25 Textured Copper Ripple Bob with Natural Silver Blend
The silver blending into the lowlights is exactly the type of detail that makes a color job look more lived-in as opposed to just recently done… as well as a clever way to manage regrowth for someone who doesn’t want to be in the chair every 4 to 6 weeks. The interior graduation and short stacked layers create volume that sits just where it should. At the Crown and through the mid-lengths instead of lower where it would just make the shape look triangular. A light styling cream and a diffuser will hold the ripple and the copper will need glossing to stay clear of brass.
#26 Warm Strawberry Ripple Bob with Face-Framing Softness
The internal layers are achieving crown lift without breaking the top from the rest of the cut, which is a balance from my experience that is harder to do than to say. The point cut ends stop the perimeter from looking blunt or boxy, and the soft side fringe just skims the forehead enough to be functional without the daily maintenance of a full bang. The warm strawberry colour will suit a wider range of skin tones than most, but it will shift if you aren’t using the right things to maintain it between appointments, a toner-depositing conditioner will keep it where you want it if you use it weekly.
#27 Voluminous Copper Ripple Bob with Wispy Micro-Fringe
The micro-fringe is light enough to allow you to see the forehead, meaning it won’t look as heavy or as dated as a thicker fringe would on fine hair. The crown has been feathered and point cut for max volume, and the nape has been tidied up to remove some bulk which would otherwise pull the whole shape down. The copper root shadow gloss is a lovely depth-permitting, low maintenance highlight. This cut is not for super coarse, heavy hair, as the whole look relies on lightness and air moving through the layers, and that will be a battle thick hair will win over and over again.
#28 Textured Ripple Bob with Easy Movement
For an easy morning hairstyle that still resembles the bob ripple style, this is a good option. The waves are styled away from the face and provide an overall look that is still very open, giving a shape that is not too closed or heavy around the jaw. The length is above the shoulders which gives a range of flexibility while being able to avoid the required maintenance of regular trims to keep that line defined. The style works with the texture you have, so if you already have some waves, then you are almost there! The look is more about directing the hair to do what it already does.
#29 Silver Ripple Bob with Airy Bounce
This cut will work on you because of your thinner hair which gives the waves an airy appearance as opposed to a solid and heavy look. The soft layers add depth to the shape without creating too many pieces that need to be styled which is ideal for those that want a polished look with minimal work. Your silver is beautifully maintained and evenly colored which indicates good toner use, and bobs that hit the chin to shoulder range tend to look like they grow out much faster on lighter hair so expect to book those shaping appointments a bit more regularly.
#30 Effortless Textured Ripple Bob with Natural Volume
The easy style that the cut offers comes from the length around the face. It’s just long enough to keep movement in the hair while not being so long that it requires constant maintenance to keep it looking styled. When combined with soft waves, the fine to medium density hair can feel more airy than heavier textures which would have to work harder. This is truly a wash-and-go style for those who have a natural wave. It’s a cut that is generally suitable for round or oval face shapes as the way it softly frames the chin and jaw is a quite flattering touch without looking like it’s trying too hard.
#31 Textured Copper Ripple Bob with Soft Flicked Ends
In this case, the purpose of the soft flicks around the face is creating specific width at the cheekbones, which is super flattering and gives balance to the narrower chins and softer jawlines of heart-shaped and oval faces. The copper color brings warmth and energy to the complexion where a cooler tone would not. The length just above the shoulders is short enough to seem fresh without the big emotional jump from longer hair. Fine hair will need a volumizing product to ensure those flicks don’t fall flat by the afternoon, and with the right product and minute of diffusing, you’ll get that.
#32 Modern Textured Ripple Bob with Natural Ease
This haircut makes it look like you just woke up and look amazing. That may not be the case, but that is the perception, which means the cut is doing its job. Hitting the chin is universally flattering, and the soft waves create enough visual texture that even hair that is finer doesn’t look thin. The medium density gives this style enough volume without being too heavy, and the slight randomness in the waves keeps it from looking too set in place. It is worth the investment to style it to keep the waves from going limp, but it only takes a few minutes.
#33 Silver Ripple Bob with Defined Curls
The definition of the curls may seem strict, but it is actually more approachable than costume-y. A soft mousse or gel on damp hair that is scrunched will accomplish this look on all hair types, even those with natural waves. As for the length of the cut, shoulder length gives enough room for the curls to bounce without getting too short. The layers also ensure that the volume stays in the right place and doesn’t mushroom out on the sides. Finer hair will need more regular upkeep in between washes, but the style really is more forgiving than it may seem at first.
#34 Textured Ripple Bob with Layered Depth
I want to highlight the depth creating subtle layers without adding bulk. There is a difference between a cut looking full versus one looking heavy, and those are two different things. On fine to medium hair, those inner layers redirect each wave just enough to give the illusion of more hair. For most women, a length just above the shoulder is a sweet spot because it’s long enough to tie back and short enough to style easily. You will have to refresh the waves, but the cut will allow for less than perfect styling.
#35 Textured Ripple Bob with Luminous Highlights
Contrast and dimension create depth and dimension to your hair in a way one solid color simply cannot do. Especially with a ripple bob, where each wave will catch the light differently, those natural highlights will elevate the look. Keeping the modern look of the cut above shoulder level allows it to appear less drastic, and the texture can create enough visual interest that you won’t need to add accessories or updos to feel put together. With good color work, this cut will shine, so a babylights/balayage specialist is a must, and don’t be afraid to leave your natural base!
#36 Textured Ripple Bob with Soft, Lived-In Shape
Achieving a lived-in feel rather than simply looking styled is quite an achievement, and this cut pulls it off beautifully. The soft layers sculpt your face without forming an obvious layering effect, which is what good cutting should achieve. The ideal length for this look is shoulder length, as it provides enough weight for the waves to fully form without being weighed down. To avoid the layers looking boxy at the bottom, a trim every 2-3 months is necessary. Overall, while the cut requires some effort to maintain the shape, it is as low effort as it gets for a wavy style.
#37 Textured Ripple Bob with Soft Gray Waves
Using a soft layering technique, fine gray hair will not appear flat or thin. Shedding thin see-through layers at the bottom is far less desirable than soft layering. As for what style suits round and oval faces, medium cuts help frame those shapes. The positioning of the waves helps to attract attention to the cheekbones instead of the jaw which helps keep it lifted. To ensure fine hair maintains its waves throughout the day, some help is needed. Instead of waiting to restyle dry hair that has lost its shape, apply a light product to damp hair, it will help to restyle it.
#38 Textured Ripple Bob with Luminous Waves
This cut is good for photos since flat lighting will still show shadows and depth from the waves, and they give the hair more perceived volume. Many women in their sixties might tend to care more about how they look in photos than others might assume. The medium length cut just above the shoulders is versatile for most face shapes as it won’t make a strong horizontal cut at the jaw or chin. The waves will take care of the length for round or square faces, so in this case, the texture is what really matters. Fine hair types will want to add a volumizing spray to their collection.
#39 Layered Ripple Bob with Fluid Movement
The light feel and layered design ensure that the hair’s movement is not stiff or overdone. This movement is what sets a ripple bob apart from a standard wav bob. When this style is done on finer hair, it adds volume in all the right places while avoiding the dreaded ‘gap’ and ‘thin’ look at the ends that can occur with over-layered looks. For an oval or heart-shaped face, neck length is ideal as it provides a great frame without being too restrictive. A tiny bit of lightweight styling cream on the mid lengths is enough to maintain the wave definition.
#40 Silver Ripple Bob with Quiet Elegance
The silver tone is bright and clean instead of yellowed or dull, which makes a huge difference in how the overall look reads. The wavy texture and shoulder length create the soft flowing quality that makes ripple bobs so appealing at this age, and the fine to medium density means that the waves have room to breathe. This is the sort of style that a good silver toner shampoo will keep the color looking intentional and polished and beyond that, it really is low effort to maintain between cuts.
#41 Textured Ripple Bob with Warm Depth
The subtle highlights are intended to soften the jawline and bring additional fullness to the cheeks; warm tones in highlights complement oval and round faces for the way the highlights balance out their wider dimensions with soft movement. The layered waves are most preferable as they create more voluminosity to the hair when fine to medium hair is present and the shoulder length also helps ensure the hair does not feel overgrown. You may require glazing touch-ups as the colour and brightness of the highlights will shift, and this is best left to professional full colour appointments to keep the highlights bright. Overall, this is an excellent structural cut that provides great movement.
#42 Chin-Length Ripple Bob with Relaxed Polish
Chin-length bobs are generally regarded as the most versatile option for many face shapes, and this cut maximizes that by softening the waves and keeping the layers to a minimum. The result is polished but not stiff, which chin-length bobs tend to be when cut too bluntly. For added volume, texturizing waves also keep the bottom feeling less weighed down and the styling time minimized. Thank inner layers for that. You don’t really start with a blank canvas every day. A little product in damp hair and a gentle scrunch is all it takes.
#43 Ripple Bob with Effortless Body
I wanted natural waves and the hair is doing exactly what I’d hoped, falling in a little different ways so the shape looks more organic than curled. This cut works great on medium-length hair, just below the jawline because it allows the wave pattern to develop without the hair pulling itself straight from its own weight. The best versions of this look is on fine to medium hair types because the silhouette is filled out, but not so much that the waves get lost in the bulk. This is one of those cuts where the less you do the better it looks after a wash.
#44 Ripple Bob with Soft Angular Framing
The length that just grazes the jawline softens the hard lines of the face, which a bob that sits bluntly at this length would reinforce. The layered fine hair will give volume that reads more as fullness and less as puffiness, and the natural wave will help the shape keep moving throughout the day. You may need a volumizing product to keep the bounce in the later half of the day, but the cut does give you a decent amount of low-maintenance style.
#45 Layered Ripple Bob with Highlighted Dimension
The added highlights create a sense of dimension and depth to particular styles, like a ripple bob. Each wave will reflect light and give the cut an expensive look. The chin-length look is very flattering to the face and the soft waves require little to no styling. Layers might need to be done every 2-3 months to prevent the ends from looking stuck and to create more movement, but even with that this is a style that requires little effort to look good between appointments.
#46 Silver Ripple Bob with Graceful Movement
Shoulder-length silver hair of this much movement and softness is one of the best combinations I can think of, and the wavy texture here makes it “silver hair” and not “gray hair.” Although both phrases may appear to describe the same thing, one is more favorable than the other. The fine to medium density of this hair allows for the waves to move freely without any one area being too thick, and the layers add volume in all the right places. To get the waves defined, minimal product is required making it a good option if you want something neat and professional without a lot of effort.
#47 Wispy Ripple Bob with Natural Silver Tones
The wispy hair is intentional as the layers are cut to create movement rather than thinness; that is an important distinction with fine hair. The shoulder length allows the waves to develop, and the subtle grays are an appreciated, earned elegance. This is a cut that craves volume at the roots, so some root lift during blow dry really makes a difference. The soft frame effect on round or oval faces is doing some quiet good.
#48 Textured Ripple Bob with Playful Wave Pattern
I like the wave pattern in the hair because it looks playful and not so done like some jaw-length bobs that could easily tip into trying too hard. With just enough layering to keep some movement, the cut also keeps the density fine to medium hair needs to be look full which is what the length makes it. I’d say the trade-off is keeping the cut styled to keep the waves there, but it’s cut structured enough that even if it’s an imperfect wave day, it looks intentional.
#49 Textured Ripple Bob with Soft Highlighted Dimension
The delicate highlights bring depth to the hair and stop the full color from appearing one-dimensional. This is especially true in a style that has this much texture. For fine to medium hair, a style that is just above the shoulders is perfect as it keeps just enough weight to maintain the shape while still feeling fresh. Women with coarser hair should ask their stylist to thin the insides because this style depends on airiness and coarser textures will need a bit more help in getting there. The fun texture is the best part of this style, and it comes mostly from the cut instead of the styling.
#50 Gray Ripple Bob with Gentle Body
The waves and soft texture give an understated elegance that can be worn every day, and it’s not too fancy. The default for this style is shoulder length on fine to medium hair as it has a good balance of length and volume. It is more tricky to achieve this than one may think. The subtle layers create an even look and help to achieve good dimension without separating layers, and the gray is simple and straight across. Most of the upkeep involves applying a smoothing product to the waves, and other than that this style is is reliably low effort.
#51 Voluminous Ripple Bob with Defined Curls
These curls are placed at the perfect distance so that they are not too tight and still look intentional; making it the perfect ratio for a ripple bob. The length and design of the layering allows for movement and the curls to bounce. It also helps to avoid a bloated appearance when added to the sides of the cut. This shape is most suitable for those with the most natural hair texture. The cut offers fullness and dimensionality, making it a great option for anyone whose hair feels dead and depleted.
