#3 Voluminous Layered Bob with Full Fringe

The juxtaposition of a full, eyebrow-grazing fringe with a voluminous layered bob offers a modern twist that’s flattering for oval faces, particularly with a square jawline. This cut enhances natural waves for a relaxed yet polished look, ideal for thick, wavy hair seeking shape and movement. Maintaining the fringe’s straight edge will require some effort with regular trims. To style, work with a round brush while blow-drying to boost volume, finishing with a light-hold spray to ensure movement isn’t compromised.

#4 Sleek Shoulder Bob with Full Fringe

This sleek shoulder-length bob is complemented by a full, blunt fringe that suits the classic oval face shape perfectly, drawing attention to the eyes and balancing the face’s proportions. Ideal for medium to thick hair, this style adds an air of modern sophistication. Yet, it may require regular styling to maintain the smooth texture and fringe precision. A flat iron and a shine serum will be your go-tos for recreating this polished look.

#5 Full Fringe Rounded Bob

This shoulder-brushing bob with a full, straight-across fringe offers a timeless charm perfect for square-shaped faces, as the rounded cut softens the jawline. The thick density of the hair creates a lush, velvety texture, ideal for a straight style with a slight wave. However, a full fringe like this does require frequent trims to keep it out of the eyes. For styling, a round brush will maintain the bob’s body, and a light smoothing cream can combat any frizz, giving that sleek, photo-ready finish.

#6 Blunt Textured Lob with Soft Bangs

This blunt lob with soft bangs marries edgy and delicate styles, making it a standout choice. Ideal for fine, straight hair, it gives an illusion of thickness and works beautifully with a heart-shaped face, drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones. However, this precision cut does require maintenance to keep the fringe looking sharp and the ends textured. When styling, a light pomade can define the ends without weighing them down—perfect for young adults seeking a fresh, yet manageable look.

#7 Bouncy Layered Lob with Curtain Bangs

This mid-length layered lob is adorned with a sweeping curtain fringe, a delightful match for heart-shaped faces seeking a bit of softness around the edges. The layers add bounce and vitality, ideal for anyone wanting to give their natural waves room to play. Styling is a breeze—just a dab of mousse to enhance those waves and a quick blow-dry with a diffuser. However, the fringe may need frequent trims to maintain its shape, so consider this when opting for this trendy, dynamic style.

#8: Long Bob with Face-Framing Fringe

Consider a haircut that frames your face. Changing your haircut can enhance your facial features. If you need help choosing the best haircut for your face shape, ask your stylist. Looking at photos of different face shapes can help before you go for your styling. If you have a longer face shape or a wider forehead, adding some bangs can make it look great. Pair it with a bob for a sophisticated and sleek look.

#9: Long Bob with Thin Fringe

Consider a hairstyle with a thin fringe as your next makeover. If you need to reinvent yourself, a fresh cut and a soft fringe can really transform your look. A soft fringe can both emphasize your eyes and provide coverage for your forehead, giving you a younger look. Keep your long layers above the shoulder to enhance the shape of your cut for a modern look. To complete your style, use a small iron or a hair dryer to create soft, bouncy curls.

#10: Sleek Lob with Choppy Long Bangs

The longer bob shape looks fuller than longer hair types and can be tied back if required. Add long sweeping bangs for a modern feel. Fringes grow quickly. Check with your salon if they offer maintenance fringe trims between haircuts.

#11: Long Blonde Bob with Waterfall Bangs

The long blonde bob with waterfall bangs is a versatile and modern hairstyle perfect for women with straight hair. This haircut features a blunt bob that falls just below the shoulders, creating a sleek and polished look. The waterfall bangs add a soft and feminine touch to the overall style, framing the face and highlighting the eyes. This haircut works best for those with straight hair as it allows for a clean and sharp finish. To style this look, apply a heat protectant spray to your hair and then use a flat iron to create a smooth and sleek finish.

#12: Reddish-Chestnut Lob

If you are feeling just a bit bored with your long brown hair, ask for this reddish-chestnut lob! This cut is not just a refreshing change but also makes you feel at home with your hair. Combined with this color, it gives a smooth switch to a natural yet edgy look. Use a 1 1/4 curling iron when you wash your hair for the best results. This lets you keep this reddish-chestnut lob wavy all week. Keep it fresh with your top dry shampoo.

#13: Long Choppy Textured Bob with Bangs

Give your hair a gift and cut it into a long choppy textured bob with bangs. Your strands will love the blunt cut with texture added instead of layers. The bangs complete the trendy shape to accent your features. Try blow drying using natural movement and a medium round brush to help smooth unruly hair. If you need to touch up the super loose wave, avoid using too small of a curling iron. A 1.5-inch iron should be perfect, and avoid curling the ends.

#14: Dark Brunette Lob for Thin Hair

Ask about a dark brunette lob if you have thin hair. If you want a cute short lob on fine hair textures, consider trying a blunt bang to add some fullness. Texture through the ends with a razor or slide cutting with shears will create movement. If done carefully, you can still have fullness with that added texturizing.

#15: Dark Chocolate Side-Parted Bob

A dark chocolate side-parted bob is a sleek style that shines. If you choose a dark rich color, it will reflect the light much more than highlighted or blonde colors. As far as the cut, ask about the best length choice for you. To create clean lines, the bottom should be above the shoulder. Sometimes if you have a short neck, the length might appear shorter. The side-parted face-framing fringe is a perfect accent to this one-length shape.

Stick Straight Lob with Heavily Choppy Ends and Bangs for women with oval face shapes and fine hair

#16: Stick Straight Lob with Heavily Choppy Ends

Ask for a stick straight lob with heavily choppy ends. Ask your stylist to create a soft texture through the ends to keep a thick bob soft. Avoid a blunt cut if you want movement through thick, straight hair. If you don’t have naturally straight hair, you will need a blow dryer and flat iron to achieve this sleek look. I love the Croc Classic Black Titanium 1.5” Flat Iron paired with Oway’s Thermal Stress Protector.

#17: Long Textured Bob with Thin Bangs

If your hair is thinning with age, but you want the modern look of a long bob, aim for wispy layers and fringe. This style will give your hair volume and movement, creating the appearance of a full head of hair. A stylist may recommend adding highlights to create dimension. This will help draw attention away from thinning hair. My advice is to keep the layers close to your face and keep the bangs thin and wispy. This style is easy to maintain with regular trims and regular products that add texture.

#18: Soft Blunt Textured Lob

A soft blunt textured lob has been a new modern take on the traditional bobs we’ve been seeing. I highly recommend a lob if you want a low-maintenance hairstyle that can also be dressed up. Ask for a soft fringe if you like a little movement around the eyes.

#19: Copper Shoulder-Length Bob with Choppy Fringe

The shoulder-length bob with choppy fringe is set to be one of this season’s hottest trends. This style will help you achieve a cool look that exudes effortless charm. A bob is very flattering and is a versatile option for any face shape. To make sure your style lasts all day use a medium-hold hairspray. L’Oreal Professional Anti-Humidity Spray is great for long-lasting results. Add fun texture by curling individual pieces with a 1 ½ inch curling iron. Then break them up using your fingertips. It will give you the perfect amount of messiness!

#20: Jenna Ortega-Inspired Lob

If you love the trending Jenna Ortega-inspired haircut, you can use her as the inspiration. This style would be considered a lob (long bob) with a fringe curtain bang. Make sure to ask for styling tips for the bangs, as sometimes they can be a little tricky.

#21: Vivid Copper Lob with See-Through Fringe

We love the juxtaposition of a vivd copper lob with a see-through fringe. The light wispy bangs keep the look soft against the bluntness of a thick lob. You might want to ask your stylist to pre book you for regular bang trims. This helps to keep you away from your kitchen shears at home. Just be aware that the bangs do grow out quickly. Styling will be simple, using a paddle brush to smooth the hair into a straight style, yet curved at the ends. Use a medium-sized round brush to style the fringe, and finish with a texture spray to define the bangs.

#24: Warm Brunette Thick Shaggy Lob

A warm brunette thick shaggy lob is perfect if you want to add some texture to your hair! If your hair is needing some texture, a texturizing shear or razor can help you achieve the look. However, if you have a natural texture, you may want to avoid using a razor as it can make your hair look frizzy.

Wanting to refresh your length after a lightening season? A shoulder-length blonde bob could be a good way to transition into manageable hair again. Don’t be afraid to explore varying layers and tools with your stylist. Who knows, you may even ask for the choppy short fringe you have been eyeing on your inspo board.

#26: Thick Blonde Lob

Bring your length up and make your hair healthier with a thick blonde lob. If you can, try clipping the top up and blow drying each section, working your way throughout. This will give you control and a smooth finish to your hairstyle. I highly recommend product lines with protein, like Olaplex. This product will keep your blonde color healthy. Blonding can be hard on your hair because of the lifting process, so treat your hair well.

#27: Buttery Blonde Wavy Lob

Consider a buttery blonde lob if you want an easy everyday hairstyle. A buttery blonde tone is one of the best colors to do because it’s easy to maintain. It’s achieved by getting a full highlight and a golden glaze to give that perfect natural blonde tone. The cut is great on just about everyone, but you should avoid it if you have very thick hair. This is because there is minimal layering and it could look too square-shaped if there is more hair concentrated towards the bottom of the cut.

#28: Brunette Shaggy Lob with Choppy Fringe

Consider a brunette shaggy lob with a choppy fringe and give your limp hair some life. If you’re deciding if this shape will compliment you, consider your face shape or talk to your stylist. A shag does look great on most women. The best way to finish your lob is to shoot for a perfectly, imperfect finish. Go with your hair’s natural movement and try using a spray wax such as Redken’s Wax Blast.

#29: Gorgeous Lob with Highlights

A gorgeous lob with highlights is a classic and classy style. Lobs are one of the most flattering cuts. Because of their classic shape, you can style this crop in a variety of ways, straight, curled, or even pulled back. If you want to get a lob cut, ask your stylist what length suits you best. Longer lengths can be pulled back easier and are more suitable for a rounder, fuller face. Shorter lengths can have more volume and are more suitable for longer face shapes.

#30: Extra Long Bob with Full Bangs

An extra-long bob with full bangs is a sophisticated style with a bit of an edge. The bob with bangs is always a sharp statement look that stands out. This cut is great for thick or thin hair and is easy to style. Blow-dry with a flat brush and add a straightener to get extra smooth and sleek. Maintenance will be a trim every 4 to 6 weeks.

#31: Sleek Blunt Bangs on a Long Bob

This cut is cut shorter underneath and longer on top, making it more fitting for women who are looking to add a little edge to the popular lob trend. Remember to consider how much time you’re willing to spend styling it in the morning. A fringe with a long bob is more maintenance but can be edgy and fun. It’s a great way to change your appearance without making a big chop.

A long bob with bangs is a great haircut that can complement any woman’s face shape and hair texture when cut and styled correctly.

Before Getting a Long Bob with Bangs, Here’s What You Need to Know:

Neckline: Pay attention to how low your neckline is. To determine the right bob length for you, look at the front and the back of your neckline. The lower your neckline is in the back, the longer your bob haircut will need to be.

Layering: Talk with your hairstylist about adding layers to avoid ending up with a triangular bob shape. You’ll want to do how much layering should happen depending upon your hair density as well as face shape. Layering throughout the hair can help alleviate the difficulties of thin/fine hair as well as thick hair. Adding layers around the face can help balance out round and long/oblong faces.

Bangs: The first quest to ask yourself is “does getting bangs fit my lifestyle?” Bangs require regular trims, which means more time and money. If you have an active lifestyle, be prepared with lots of hair clips to clip the bangs back or to the side. Lastly, depending upon your face shape, you may need longer bangs which could get in your way as you look down at your phone, computer, cooking, etc.
