With all the time I’ve spent doing hair, hearing comments like, “I want to go shorter, but not too short,” has become exasperating. Most clients do not realize that they are describing a shaggy bob. It gives a nice middle ground feeling like you did something really out there while still keeping the piece-y hair that *does* describe a drastic haircut. Everyone I work on gives me a new haircut, which is great, really great, to see. Just a few weeks ago I had a customer who had an almost decade-old straight cut lob in front of me and when I finally put some layers into it, she literally started crying. It may not sound like a big change, but it really was for her an expression of a personality that she was missing.
A secret weapon for women in their 50s with choppy bobs is textured hair. Women’s hair tends to change and may become finer or wavier, and a choppy bob works with that. A choppy bob is one of the few haircuts that gets more attractive as it becomes more disheveled. Because of that, your second day hair could be your best! I’ll be showing you a ton of different variations. Some I love while others are included because they may not be my first choice, but could be perfect for you and you’ll be able to see that too.
#1: Layered Bob with the Softest Bangs You’ve Ever Seen
I believe this is the perfect beginner choppy bob. It doesn’t look like \”it’s trying too hard\” and that’s what makes it so great. The bangs are just the right length so they don’t scream \”I got bangs,\” and instead they do this nice little trick where they bring everything together on your face. The length of the layers is just above the shoulders so you can still keep enough length to tuck behind your ears or clip back to if you are over it. If your hair is finer this is a great starting point as the layers give you body without it looking like you are trying to create volume from nothing. This style is going to take a little bit of round brush wind to keep the shape looking intentional but we’re talking like five minutes, not a whole production.
#2 Warm Highlights Doing All the Work in This Layered Bob
I absolutely love the color and cut combination! The wrong color can ruin a good haircut, so color choice is very important. The warm highlights are positioned beautifully with the choppy pieces so that every layer reflects light differently. That is what gives the haircut a more expensive appearance. Although most people may not notice the slight asymmetry, it makes the cut look less “done” which is exactly the point. If you have fine hair and want to achieve volume, this tousled texture and the added layers will be very helpful to you. Just a heads up, the “effortless” look will take about ten minutes of effort with a texturizing spray and your fingers!
#3 The Jaw-Length Choppy Bob That Keeps Things Interesting
I have a lot of clients that I will say this is the magic length, and I will die on that hill. It is the perfect length where the face looks so defined and the neck looks elongated, which is a two-for-one deal you don’t get with every cut. The subtle texture is the right amount of big bouncy waves to make sure the hair is not flat and lifeless. I would choose this any day of the week over a blunt bob because it gives you a tiny edge without you having to be actually edgy. Some daily styling will go into achieving this photo, but just air-drying will look cute in a different way.
#4 Natural Waves Making This Bob Look Way More Expensive Than It Is
What about the way the natural waves in a choppy bob are almost like free styling? This cut provides sufficient crown layering to lift the hair where it’s most needed to let the waves do their thing. The length just above the shoulders is also practical since it is long enough to put in a half up style but short enough to not get dragged and flat by 2pm. For those of you with some natural waves, own it with a sea salt spray and don’t battle it with a flat iron. This is the type of cut where less product and less heat will actually give you a better result!
#5 Chin-Length Choppy Bob with Layers That Actually Do Something
I typically do chin length cuts as having the wrong cut can lead to disaster if the intended layers aren’t done, and this one gets the points. The layering hits just right to show off the jawline without making the chin look pointy, or the face look wider. The messy texture gives it a youthful as in this cut has life, not that I’m trying to look younger. For fine hair, a little help staying lifted will just be because the shape itself will do most of it, just volumizing mousse at the roots before blow drying should do it.
#6 Soft Curls in a Choppy Bob, and Yes It Works Beautifully
We understand all the worry about cutting your hair short and doing a big curly hairstyle thinking you might go poodle. But here is an example. The curls are soft and loose which gives the haircut personality without being overwhelming. The trick with the layers is that they control where the volume goes so you can have mid lengths with fullness without a big poofy triangle at the bottom. The curls soften the bluntness of the cut so this shape suits a surprisingly wide range of face shapes. To keep the curls looking puffy and defined but not crunchy, a light curl cream is perfect, and that is basically all there is to the maintenance talk.
#7 Warm-Toned Textured Bob with Layers That Move
This look is amazing! I really appreciate the warmth in the hair color. It helps with the dimensionality. It gives the hair some depth and a life of it’s own, even when the hair is just hanging there. The wavy texture is also a nice touch. The shoulder-length hair with the subtle face framing layers is really nice. I think this is great, especially for fine to medium hair. If you are looking to change your color to something warmer, this is the best example to consider! It is such a lovely and well balanced color. The color is also good in that it won’t look bad and ‘expire’ in 6 months!
#8 The Choppy Layered Bob That Looks Effortless Because It Basically Is
My clients surely feel however I do with this one. The nuances in this style enhance the overall look without additional effort to create that ‘I put some intentional effort into this’ appearance. The stacked volume layers sit perfectly right above the shoulder and give off the ‘I’m ready for brunch or a board meeting’ aesthetic. With a blow dry, it will look polished to a level way more than the effort we would need to put in. You will have to dry it with a towel and throw in some product, but it will still be enough to look really good.
#9 Choppy Bob with Face-Framing That Knows What It’s Doing
What I appreciate about this hairstyle is the way the face framing layers were very purposely placed. It really sets this choppy bob apart. The layers are at the cheekbone level, which helps create a vertical focus in the overall look, and gives a more youthful appearance to the entire face. The blended highlights contribute to the hair’s depth, and without that unwanted “striped” look. The above-the-shoulder length keeps it manageable and is perfect for wash and wear styling. Even on lazy days, it looks like you made a decision. I would recommend more regular trims with this, about every 6 weeks. Those face framing pieces grown out and really lose their impact.
#10 Choppy Bob with Balayage That Actually Looks Natural
I don’t think it’s surprising that I have come across many poorly done balayage looks, but when I see good ones, I want to thank the colorist personally. This example is the definition of good balayage. The highlights are so well placed that they provide a glow that is visible and eye catching. The money spent on the layers is worth it. It looks naturally sunkissed and not overly done. The hair is just the right amount of done up and elegant. The best part is that it looks so naturally effortless. If not the best, this is amazing balayage for fine hair and the layers add even more volume. The balayage also adds a thickness that a solid process color just doesn’t give.
#11 Textured Choppy Bob That’s Quietly One of the Best Ones Here
I find myself returning to this as it appears effortless while also being really practical, and that’s the sort of hairstyle I value. The hair length is just above the shoulders, the subtle highlights won’t scream ‘I just came from the salon’, and soft layering provides that bounce that fine to medium hair really needs. If you are a regular trimmer, the shape is easy to maintain, but if you leave it too long between cuts, that choppiness leans toward messy instead of intentional, and trust me there is a real difference between those two.
#12 Choppy Bob with Curls That Have Actual Personality
Some curly bobs express an intent behind them, and they all fall on the fun side of the fun-versus-serious scale. The soft layers let the curls def, leaving plenty of room for movement. This bobs length is just above the shoulders which allows the curls to really bounce up to not be annoying and ring your earlobes, but they still won’t gather enough to stop them from curling up. If your hair is fine, but dense, this haircut will really pull all your hair together and do wonders for your volume. If you want this style, you will need some sort of product to def the curls and help them maintain their silhouette. That said, it is a small commitment for how great you’re going to look.
#13 Softly Textured Choppy Bob That Moves Like It Means It
The various angles of the cutting create the style’s movement. This means when you move your hair will sway instead of remaining stagnant. If you want to avoid looking too try hard, a length just above the shoulders is ideal to keep a youthful look. The fine or medium hair types will especially benefit from this as it will create more of an illusion of greater density. It’s great for round or oval shapes since it will create a vertical focus. You just need a good texture paste on the ends to achieve this look.
#14 Choppy Bob with Waves That Look Like You Woke Up That Way
I say this is the type of haircut that really encompasses the phrase “I don’t want to look like I tried,” which is true; this haircut really gives that vibe and fits to a precise description. The lighter layering keeps the ends from looking thin and wispy like a lot of bobs tend to do and adds movement to the hair that is fine or of medium density. These waves are from a curling iron, she just let her hair fall like that and the highlight also drew some light to the top and increased that effect. If you have an oval or heart-shaped face it’s going to look amazing on you and it’s even forgiving enough that your second-day hair won’t look bad.
#15 Gentle Waves in a Choppy Bob That Softens Everything
This cut sits just below the jawline and if you have a round or square face, pay attention since this is the ideal spot for the length to soften those features without hiding your face. The waves really allow for great texture without a lot of weight, which is something a lot of cuts seem to get wrong. You’ll find that if your hair tends to go flat during the day, you’ll want to use a dry texture spray to bring it back to life but you really don’t have to worry about that too much with the cut. You will look like a hot mess, and regular trims are a must and sadly that’s really the only option here because a bob this length will show you the splits from miles away.
#16 Textured Bob That’s Doing More Than You Think
The soft layers of the chin-length bob create movement and volume that works well for fine or medium hair. Paired with some highlights, the cut can make someone appear to have twice as much hair. This length is just right – not too short and not too long, making upkeep easy. However, this bob will need regular trims in order to keep the ends from getting scraggly and losing its shape. If you are someone who likes to keep up appointments, this will work in your favor.
#17 Textured Bob with Waves That Do the Styling for You
This hairstyle brushes against the jawline, which will show off the neck and collarbone, so lean in if you like those features! The soft waves are great for hair types that are fine to medium, as it gives the impression that you have “more hair than you think you do.” The layers help to soften your features without going into the obvious face framing that has been out since 2016. If you’re thinking about adding some color, soft balayage will look great because the waves will help highlight certain areas. Your hair will look great with soft waves for a long period of time; with that being said, the maintenance is minimal and will take less than five minutes.
#18 Textured Choppy Bob with Face-Framing That Earns Its Keep
Face framing layers work to accentuate the cheekbones and soften the jaw. That’s the general point of face framing layers and many styles get it wrong. The more fine textures over the layered structure is a great balance to not being too excessive. The highlights are subtle which gives dimension without going too far. Regular maintenance is needed because it can grow out to look more “I haven’t been to the salon” than “effortlessly chic”. If you have an oval or heart shaped face and don’t mind more frequent trims, it’s a great choice.
#19 Choppy Bob with Playful Volume That Fine Hair Actually Holds
I enjoy haircuts that really address a problem, and this one tackles the “my fine hair is flat by noon” issue perfectly. The fun layers create volume on their own without the help of product, while the waves create an almost organic density to the hair. This cut is meant to sit above the shoulders and is perfect for creating this casual movement as shown in the photo. A light volumizing spray would be ideal, but to be honest, this cut has enough structure to hold itself and keep that look, product or not.
#20 Curly Layers in a Choppy Bob That Keeps Things Light
The soft curly layers on this style are cut to avoid that heavy, weighed-down feeling that curly bobs can sometimes have. The soft layers cut right above the shoulder give the curls room to bounce, without the entire cut looking shorter than intended. This is the type of conversation I seem to have weekly with curly haired clients who didn’t consider the factor of shrinkage. The cut is ideally for fine to medium density hair as the curls will give a fuller appearance. You will need some type of curl defining product. If you’re using a curl enhancer, apply it while it’s still damp and scrunch. Then just leave it and let it dry as is.
#21 Choppy Bob Just Below the Jawline with Beautiful Ashy Tones
I love the cut but let’s discuss the color. The face frame is bright and alive with light ashy tones and soft highlights. Paired with the choppy texture just below the jawline, you get polished look, but not too stiff. For fine to medium hair, it’s just what you want, the layered texture creates volume without the extra weight. The clear layers keep the style sharp and defined, which means regular trims are a must. If you want to go ashier or are considering some grey blending, this is a beautiful reference.
#22 Textured Short Bob with Fringe That Actually Works
I can be really critical about bangs (or fringes), but I think this one is good. The soft bangs (or fringes) bring a soft touch to the style. They really help add to the layering, and don’t cover up or conceal the face, giving it a full appearance cohesively with the rest of the style. The choppy layering adds a lot of volume for finer hair, which is what I have. The style is super effortless, and the only products used were some curls with a wave iron and a light hairspray. I wouldn’t suggest keeping this kind of cut if you don’t want to be frequent about it, but if you are considering highlights, this style would be good with them because the layers manipulate the hair to create surface area for a color contrast.
#23 Short Choppy Bob with Layers That Have Bounce and Attitude
This style gives off an impression that it’s easy to maintain and there are things to do and places to go, which I definitely relate to. This style is a shoulder length cut, so it won’t be hard to maintain, and the added layers provide volume for those with fine hair. The soft waves are also a nice addition as they help to soften a stronger face shape. The style is on the lower end of the maintenance spectrum, but it will likely take some products to keep the layers separated. For those with thick hair, I would be cautious as the choppy layers can be a lot more voluminous than you would prefer.
#24 Short Choppy Bob with Volume That Defies Fine Hair
I have clients with fine hair who want volume, so I show them this. The layered structure of this cut does what products cannot. The airy waves provide a natural fullness. The tousled finish keeps it from looking helmet-y, and the whole thing very flattering frames the face, especially if you have a heart-shaped face. The jawline softening this length gives is something you have to see in person to appreciate. With regular trims, fine hair shows overgrown layers quicker than thick hair, and you want to stay ahead of it.
#25 Soft Choppy Bob with Gray Tones That Look Intentional
I’ve seen plenty of women who fight their natural hair color and age, but I love women who embrace their hair regardless of what’s happening up there. This cut is a perfect example of how to age gracefully. The layers are gentle, and the color is flat. Typically I would consider that a one-dimensional haircut, but this cut has a lot of play, and helps to avoid the “I gave up” look and move toward the “I chose this” vibe. The length of the hair that grazes the jaw is very flattering on face shapes that are oval and heart-shaped, and with this amount of texture, under-styling is a major goal. You’ll want to keep this one looking its best so daily styling is a must, but ultimately, this look is about enhancing what is already there rather than creating something out of nothing.
#26 Silver Choppy Bob That Makes Going Gray Look Like a Power Move
While someone is in my chair, I often hear ‘I want to stop coloring my hair but I don’t want to look older’. This is the haircut I pull to show that it is possible to do both. The back has stacked layers that add volume and sort of fall if you have finer hair. The side-swept front layers add softness to the jawline which is great for more angular face shapes. The cut gives the silver a structure so it doesn’t just hang there. If your hair is fine to medium density, this is going to give you body with this cut and you won’t have to do any heavy styling, which is the whole point.
#27 Choppy Bob with Highlights Placed Exactly Where They Should Be
The highlights are ideal for adding subtle brightness and dimension to the hair. They make the hair look lighter without the need to do foils which is a plus. The jawline cut is particularly suited to oval and heart-shape faces. The layered texture adds volume to medium and fine hair, giving the illusion of true volume. This is a low maintenance style and can make it seem like you’ve put in a lot of effort, which I think is something a lot of 50 year old women look for without having to say it directly. The layers will be more defined with a texturizing product, but even without one, this hairstyle still looks great.
#28 Modern Choppy Bob with Layers That Move When You Do
This is a highly decent trustworthy choppy bob. Not every haircut needs to be the loudest thing about you. Sometimes you just need a haircut to look nice and get out of the way. The soft layered choppy bob gives movement and dimension and is great for fine hair, plus the length just above the shoulders is so easy to style. The bob helps frame the face and you also don’t need a specific head shape to pull it off. Though some styling is required to achieve that polished look, if you excel at blow drying and using a round brush, it shouldn’t be a problem.
#29 Wispy Bangs on a Choppy Bob, and I’m Into It
Having wispy bangs can go really well, or look like you cut them yourself in the middle of the night. The end look depends on how well they are framed and incorporated into the rest of the hairstyle. I love how the bangs are incorporated with the choppy layers of the haircut instead of just being there. The bangs are shiny, which tells me that a good hair oil or treatment is in play and shows that healthy hair really makes a haircut look nice. I really love this hairstyle and round or oval face shapes will love this look as well. The bangs will need a little daily attention, but they are set and not a whole ordeal.
#30 Choppy Layered Bob That Makes Fine Hair Look Full
The face framing layers beautifully lift the cheekbones and soften the jawline, giving a naturally pretty effect and making the way the hair falls look great. There are lots of different lengths in the cut, enabling it to have a great look even if the hair is not styled, and I always aim for this as not everyone wants to do their hair every morning, and that should be allowed. This type of layering is really good for fine hair, as it gives the appearance of lots of depth but without any heaviness. The ends may need a bit of maintenance, but other than that, the cut does most of the work and the hair should look great.
#31 Tousled Choppy Bob That Makes a Subtle Statement
This messy hairstyle is a keeper! What you can see are the movements in the hair due to the light waves capturing the motion of the hair. The cheekbone layers draw attention to the face. If you have an oval or square face, this is going to be a great choice. The square shape softens head layers and reveals the jaw. The cut hits just above the jawline, which is perfect. It looks great on everyone so I suggest it a lot. If your hair is fine, it will look best without product, but it’ll still look fine. The layers in the cut will shape your hair enough so that on a lazy day it’ll look intentional.
#32 Chin-Length Choppy Bob That Looks Better Lived-In
I think that as the day goes on, this cut gets even better because of the way the choppy layers start to separate and makes the whole cut even more interesting. It also makes the fine hair look more dimensional, and the chin length cut is super flattering on everyone, no matter what face shape you have. If you have thick hair, be sure to ask your stylist to thin the interior a bit so that you don’t get that triangle shape. For fine to medium hair, this cut is perfect the way it is. With a little bit of balayage, it would look even more amazing, but even without it, it is still a very strong look.
#33 Short Bob with Layers That Keep It Interesting
This haircut literally looks good on anyone. The soft layers provide some movement and texture to keep it interesting while the length that sits just above the shoulders is easy to manage for the morning rush. It versatile and suits most face shapes, especially oval and heart shapes. You don’t even need to know your exact face shape to see that this cut is good. To keep it looking fresh and healthy, the cut will need some regular maintenance to avoid any damaged ends. If you want to maintain the overall look of the haircut, some subtle balayage would be a great addition.
#34 Choppy Bob with Soft Waves and a Whole Mood
I like how this specific haircut has good flow, with soft waves and choppy layers working well together. It can be difficult to achieve that with fine hair, so that tells me an experienced professional did this. Being above the shoulders, this cut is versatile. The layers help with this as they stop the hair from looking like a solid block. If you have an oval face, it’ll look fantastic. The versatility of the cut means it can suit almost any face shape. The choppy layers may require some styling to look good, but with some product and a blow-dryer, it should only take a few minutes.
#35 Textured Bob That Looks Good Without Trying Too Hard
I like haircuts that are easy to maintain and this textured bob is just that. The almost-not-there waves give the movement I want without having to style it everyday. I enjoy the way it sits above the shoulders and the slightly messy appearance is flattering on many face shapes. If you are looking to have a haircut that is low-maintenance, this is a great option because you won’t have to touch it until it’s time to take a picture to capture how good it looks. For those with fine and medium density hair, you may need a little root-lifting spray to avoid it lying flat, but this cut will hold its shape.
#36 Choppy Bob with Soft Fringe and a Dark Base That Grounds Everything
The dark base here is really special. It anchors the entire cut and allows the subtle highlights to shine in a way that lighter bases don’t. The soft fringe blends in beautifully with the chin-length layers, and the choppy texture creates that fine to mid hair airy quality without looking thin or wispy The dark base here does something special. It grounds the entire cut and really makes those subtle highlights pop in a way that lighter bases just don’t achieve. The soft fringe beautifully blends into the chin-length layers and the choppy texture gives fine to mid hair that airy quality without looking thin or wispy. I appreciate that this is a cut you could easily dress up for dinner, or throw a hat on and it works for that casual vibe too. The style does need regular trims to keep that great shape and stop the fringe from falling into your eyes but that’s a minimal commitment for a cut that gives you this much versatility.
#37 Short Choppy Bob That Creates Fullness Where You Need It
These layers have been cut in a certain way to create the greatest appearance of fullness as opposed to layers that are done “just because”, which is cut up in the hope that something good happens to it. The length that just touches the jawline will draw the eye to the best parts of your face, and the airy lightness will make the entire style look gorgeous and effortless. If you have fine hair that is medium in density, you can be confident that this is one of those styles that will truly make you believe you have more hair than you do – which is a compliment to the style, not an insult to your hair! The best part is that you will not have to stress over maintenance with this style because it will be so easy to manage, while the layers will require more maintenance to keep them looking fresh and clean.
#38 Textured Bob with Volume That Comes From the Cut, Not the Product
A haircut that helps you break away from hot tools is a dream come true! This layered bob does just that! The ends have some layering which creates movement and adds more volume. Volume is usually lacking in finer hair, so jumping into this cut could totally be worth it. This style is also very rounded face friendly. It is practical and low maintenance, but to keep it looking good, you may just need a quick spritz of hairspray. This is the kind of style you will totally forget about until someone stops you to compliment it, and that is a true testament to an amazing cut.
#39 Choppy Bob with Volume and Texture That Plays Well Together
The balanced volume and texture brimm made the cut stand out from the rest. Most choppy styles offer a lot of volume or a lot of texture and hardly ever achieve both. This bob was the right length hitting just below the jawline and coupled with added layers gives lift right at the roots and movement mid-lengths while allowing the natural wave to work with the cut and not agains it. To get that added lift the best option would be to use a volumizing mousse applied to damp hair. Even with out the mousse it will not go flat due to the structure the cut provides. It is obvious that the texture requires some styling but in the end it is worth it.
#40 Choppy Bob with Soft Waves and an Easy-Going Attitude
If you want a super low-maintenance hairstyle, this is the one for you! Gentle waves and a softer, rougher texture also create a style which looks good when you’ve put in the least effort. This cut is at shoulder length so it naturally face-framing. The unevenness will help give fine hair thickness and lightness, and the overall look is informal but not scruffy at all. It’s particularly nice for oval and round face shapes. It really is so easy, perfect for a quick school run but also smart enough for dinner with the girls.
#41 Choppy Bob with Lively Curls That Know Where to Land
Thanks to the craftsmanship, the precise and careful detailing, of the cut and the subtle layering, the curls will not bunch at the bottoms of the hair and create the horrible triangle effect. Details like that are worth the price! The curls that frame your face will help soften your features. The cut being above your shoulders means you can really bounce! This look really works best for hair that is fine to medium in texture. You’ll never feel weighed down with the lightweight, fine hair layering. Curls create the illusion of density and pay off is the key word here. The cut will work with your natural, unstyled texture so the only product you will need to control those curls is a hold product.
#42 Curly Choppy Bob in Rich Chestnut That Warms Up Everything
I won’t lie, I really like that chestnut color. It looks good against the skin and makes the curls look richer and more dimensional. Most colors can’t say they look good against multiple skin tones. Shoulder length hair gives even more movement to the curls so they don’t shrink up and look to short. The choppy texture looks more modern and not dated. If your hair is fine to medium, the curls alone should provide enough volume that you don’t need a lot of product, aside from something to help with definition. Heart shaped faces are going to love how this look frames and enhances their features.
#43 Short Bob with Soft Curls That Add Life
Soft, chin-length curls can accentuate cheekbones more than makeup can. This style promotes a youthful appearance, and it is particularly flattering on oval and round face shapes. If your hair is medium to fine in texture and density, chin-length curls can create a nice amount of fullness without adding overwhelming bulk. Fine curls typically require a specific product, but you will quickly adapt to it once you establish your routine.
#44 Choppy Layered Bob with Texture That Has Energy
This bob has a unique feel to it. The way the hair moves and reflects with light looks stunning. This cut also gives off a lot of energy which you don’t find in every bob. The shy above shoulder length is perfect for drawing attention to the neck. The soft layers create a frame for the face for those with oval and heart shaped faces. The cool vibe from the finish is really nice. This looks best on fine to medium hair textures. Little time is needed for styling, just some light mousse and a bit of shine and the layers will look great.
#45 Choppy Bob with Soft Volume That Doesn’t Quit
The soft layers give lasting volume throughout the day which is great if you have fine to even medium hair. The cut sits to the versatile length above the shoulders and the soft waves add a texture and movement enhancement. For rounder face shapes, you can request your stylist to make longer front pieces for some elongation; otherwise, most face shapes this cut works great. Maintstream styling helps give volume, but on non styling days the cut does the work.
#46 Choppy Bob with Luminous Layers and a Pretty Fringe
Chin length hair with soft bangs that accentuate the eyes is a gorgeous combination. The cut is kept fresh with the luminous layers that add a sense of movement to the look. It is especially great for oval and heart shaped faces. Instead of adding texture to the hair, it is lovely to leave the hair natural and wavy. The subtle highlights make the fine hair look more voluminous and interesting. The polished effect is great without being too stiff. You may want a hair product with hold to keep the bangs and bouncy finish in place. For the stunning effects, this is a low-maintenance style.
#47 Choppy Bob Below the Jawline with Effortless Volume
This cut falls just below the jawline, making it suitable for oval and heart-shaped faces. Its playful layers create a shape for the hair that is great for days when you don’t feel like doing too much with it. Soft, tousled ends give a youthful appearance. Highlights that are added dimension without looking stiff. Extra volume is provided by the layers, which is particularly great for finer hair, and this creates a more dressed up appearance. Hair is great for casual to professional hair. If you want to you can add some product to keep the cut looking the same, but because the cut is already very structured, you don’t strictly need it.
#48 Vibrant Copper Choppy Bob That Commands a Room
You can expect me to be laid back about this. Those vivacious curls and that lovely copper color invites the question when being seen from other stylists: “Who did that?” The chin-length cut accentuates the jawline, and the playful nature of the curls keeps them from being too serious. It works best on medium to thick hair and is especially flattering to round and oval face shapes. Regular upkeep and some curl defining products are a must, but when this look is on point, it’s ON point.
#49 Choppy Bob with Face-Framing That Brightens Everything
With regard to this option, the face framing layers soften the jawline and promote a youthful appearance without it being too obvious. The subtle highlights bring emphasis to the right areas. The medium length and lightly tousled layers give all the movement fine to medium hair can carry. The overall style is modern and friendly without being overly “trendy” in a way that will age quickly. Both wavy and straight hair textures are suitable for this hairstyle. Some product may be necessary to keep those layers looking defined, but this is very much a “less is more” situation where a lack of styling will work against you.
#50 Short Choppy Bob with Texture and Attitude
I love this style for many reasons. It has a nice playful quality to it, with volumizing layers, a mid neck length, and an easy-to-wear tousled texture that adds a modern twist. This style is great for women who want a little fun in their hair, but don’t want something too high maintenance. The face framing layers are especially nice for oval and heart shapes, and the layered structure gives fine hair the volume it craves. This cut loves texture spray. A few spritzes and you’re good to go, looking like you spent ages on this when it really only took you a second.
