The bob hairstyle has somehow earned a reputation for being a safe, somewhat boring choice for a hairstyle. But with so many different interpretations of a bob hairstyle and ways that you can customize it to suit your needs and personal taste, the bob cut is anything but boring. A catch-all term for hair that is cut anywhere from just above the chin or almost below the shoulders, the bob can take on many different vibes, so you're sure to find a great match for your personality and lifestyle. "There are many variations on bobs, which are always in style and can look great on all face shapes," says Stephen Thomas, hairstylist at Oscar Blandi Salon in New York City.

The best part? Bob hairstyles are a chic choice for any person, regardless of their age or face shape. When deciding on your next cut, the only important factors to consider are your hair texture (fine, thick, or in between), hair type (straight, wavy, or curly), and the amount of work you want to put into styling your hair each day.
Ahead, 20 variations of the bob hairstyle on different textures and lengths to inspire your next haircut, plus tips from Thomas and celebrity stylist Cher'e Nichole.

A look like actress Viola Davis's is all about embracing your natural texture. Use a combination of curl cream, hair oil, and styling gel to define and enhance your curl pattern.
If you currently have longer hair and are looking to tip-toe into the short hair trend, start with a lob that hits somewhere just above or just below your shoulders. Longer than a traditional bob cut, the aptly named "lob" haircut is a favorite for its versatility. Long enough to pull back if you need, yet short enough to classify as short, the mid-length lob allows you to not feel tied down to any single style. Hair this length looks just as good when you let it air-dry naturally (like model Lauren Hutton's style shown here) as it does when you style it with a blow-dryer or flat iron.
If you want to leave a little more length to your hair, this is an excellent option for all face shapes and hair colors. To get this naturally wavy bob, loosely wrap hair around a 1.5-2 inch curling iron. The slight bend will bring out the dimension of highlighted strands, as Halle Berry proves.
This sleek, rounded bob with a few minimal layers proves that a simple hairstyle can still be bold and not at all boring, as evidenced by actress Glenn Close. "For this look, blunt cuts make your hair appear fuller," says Nichole. "One side is tucked behind her ear and wispy. This allows her face to be seen but still adds a little mystery with the long side bang."
For a finish this smooth, straight, and shiny, use ultra-thin sections of hair when flat-ironing it to straighten each strand evenly. Then, warm a little bit of oil between your palms and run it through the ends of your hair to finish the look.

Not quite a pixie cut but not a bob, this hybrid hairstyle has all the edginess of a super-short crop but with a little more softness to it. If your hair has a natural wave, scrunch it to style. If you have straighter hair, use a styling wand to give your strands a cool bend like Tilda Swinton's.
We're all about a blown-out bob that shows off long layers. "Shorter cuts can sometimes take more effort to maintain and style, but can also look very chic," notes Thomas. Create piece-y texture with a wax pomade for a more lived-in look, or wear it freshly blown out for a softer finish like Oprah.
A classic bob such as fashion designer Eileen Fisher's is perfect for creating volume in finer hair textures that get easily weighed down by longer lengths. Keep in mind that to maintain the shape of a classic bob, you'll likely need trims every six to eight weeks. If you're not someone who likes to commit very much time or money to your hair routine, you might want to consider a more textured look that grows out nicely.

Possibly the coolest bob style to ever exist, the shaggy bob with choppy layers has a rocker vibe to it, which is why it's perfect for those who find the classic bob a bit too simple. Tina Turner's version is loose but still looks sophisticated.
Yolanda Hadid's cut is slightly shorter in the back than the front, which allows for great movement and an angle that can be seen from the side. Whether you know it as the graduated bob, inverted bob, or A-line bob, this asymmetrical take on the classic cut has a youthful, edgy vibe. To give your hair body and height at the crown, ask your stylist for stacks of layers that are shorter in the back and longer in the front.
Anna Wintour's iconic blunt bob with matching blunt bangs is a bold look that proves the short crop is anything but boring. The length of a classic bob tends to be one to two inches below the chin, but work with your stylist to find the length that suits your features best. The key here is reducing flyaways and ensuring there's plenty of volume and shape throughout the style.
Not all bobs have to have layers or be blunt—sometimes something in between can take your look to the next level. Try a simple cut with rounded body like Loretta Devine. It's an excellent way to put the focus on your hair color and shine.

Angela Bassett's sleek, middle-parted bob is proof that the look can be incredibly sophisticated. Nichole says it's "a great low-maintenance style that accentuates and elongates the jawbone and neck." Better yet, it's easy to achieve by using "a 1.5-inch flatiron, some serum, and some shine spray."
If you have straight hair, consider this bob. Although it might appear to be cut all one length, the subtle layering throughout and a slightly shorter length in the back keep the finished look from feeling heavy and weighed down.
Whether you have natural curls or not, you can achieve these defined tendrils with the use of a curling wand—but only after you've built the volume first with a fresh blowout. For natural curls like Alfre Woodard's, work in Az Haircare's Captivate Structure Géle ($41) for both hold and volume.
A big part of the success of Jane Fonda's look, seen here, is also her hair's color. "If you color your hair a darker shade but your natural color is gray, consider going lighter," suggests Thomas. "When you color your hair brown, gray roots show up quickly. Gray roots will blend more subtly with blonde hair and not be such a stark contrast. The color will also be much easier to maintain."

The ultimate cool-girl style, a sleek wet look—seen here on model Maye Musk—can be pulled off by any hair type and at any age. If your bob is too short to wear in an updo, but you'd like your hair pulled back to keep the focus on your outfit, this is one super-cool way to achieve that.
Who says curly bobs can't have bangs? Have your stylist break up the length of your cut with a few shorter curls around your eyes to frame your face, à la Gayle King.
Iman's sleek, stylish bob feels both trendy and timeless. The shape perfectly frames Iman's face and brings extra attention to her eyes with her side-swept bangs.
Shorter on one side, longer on the other—the angle of this haircut (seen on fashion icon Linda Fargo) adds interest to the otherwise simple style. Though it would look equally great worn wavy and textured, the straight edge emphasizes the asymmetry in the best way.
Lots of layers don't necessarily make it a choppy haircut—take this smooth, voluminous bob, for instance. By having your stylist cut in many layers, it adds volume to thinner hair that might lay a little flat. To blow-dry a sleek lob, begin with a volumizing shampoo and mousse if you have fine hair. Use a large paddle brush rather than a rounded brush to get the ends to curl under.
Actress Cicely Tyson's bob with bangs frames her face well and requires little in the way of styling; a smoothing cream and light misting of hairspray should do the trick.

A long bob, or lob, as it is commonly referred to, has continuously been dubbed the hairstyle of the year. It is a much deserved recognition because the style manages to be flattering for a variety of different face shapes, hair textures and complexions. To put it simply, lob is classic and universal. Find the perfect variation for you in our gallery below.
Lobs are beautiful in any texture – straight and sleek or wavy and messy. You can wear your lob as a downdo, or lift your locks up in a sort of updo or half-up hairstyle – so many options and there’s always a quick and easy styling method, depending on your hair type.
Long bob haircuts let you wear your hair down, up and half up while looking gorgeous, regardless of the style choice. The front pieces graze your shoulders, drawing attention to clavicles— one of the most sensual female body parts.
This long bob gets its edginess from the front pieces that are quite a bit longer than the rest of the layered strands, about two and a half inches. The peekaboo blond highlights that frame the face and lighter ends make this not only trendy, but incredibly flattering. Keep hair soft and touchable with smooth styling creams.
When styled straight, a graduated lob cut gives an illusion of a grown out bob that happens to look so effortlessly chic. To take the minimalistic ‘do to the next level, keep tresses dyed in a solid color or try a very subtle balayage.
Styles with uneven length are so fun to rock. You get the ease of short hair, while still having it long enough to tuck behind your ears. What’s more, you’ll have an air of mystery. The ombre effect is expertly done. Not only are the transitions on point, but the tone is just right.
A long bob haircut can really flatter women with fine hair. When cut as an A-line style, locks not only appear longer, but they also seem fuller and thicker! Ask for cute extra long pieces at the front to achieve this whimsical wispy effect.
Here’s an embodiment of today’s most popular style— a textured longer lob with babylights and highlights a few tones lighter than the base color. This ‘do makes your mane feel healthy and fresh, your complexion appear brighter and warmer and you, overall, look trendy and stylish!
It’s easy to wear your long bob cut. Part your medium-length hair a little off-center and tousle to bring out the layers. The subtle highlights draw attention to the feathery ends, and the inverted shape gives it a classic appearance. The haircut is best on women with naturally straight hair.
If you’re a woman with super-thick tresses who’s looking for an edgy urban style, you’ll appreciate this choppy lob hair cut. The shaggy, wavy locks land squarely on the shoulders with natural bounce. The waves are tousled all over for a full-bodied shape.
Fine hair appears lush and full of body when it’s cut and styled into a shaggy lob cut that shows off all your natural waves. The bronde balayage features bright white ends as an unexpected twist on beach blonde hair.
Combed over swoopy layers can make long bob hairstyles seem even more mysterious. The voluminous shattered waves give you that sensual appearance, especially if you opt for a soft bronde color with perfectly blended roots and highlights.
Women with shoulder-length thick hair should cut it into a long shaggy style to show off its natural thickness and texture. Tousled lobs parted in the center are tomboyish but with an air of femininity. The copper highlights lighten up the face and add some glow to the dark sliced hair.
Incredibly low maintenance, this stylish long bob with a balayage is a deal for individuals looking to ensure their color lasts. What’s more, the bluntness of the bangs contrasts with the choppy waves of the overall style, providing a messy (but still refined) appearance.
Part your hair on one side and let some long bangs fall in the front for an authentic peek-a-boo look. The layered lob features a lot of feathery pieces throughout and we love the effortless touch they give to the style. The dark shadow roots and blonde highlights create extra volume for straight, fine hair.
The voluminous silhouette of the lob haircut with a side part shows off all the flattering angles of the model’s cheekbones and jawline. Peek-a-boo bangs cover one eye, further framing the face, and the dark shadow roots give a nice contrast to the white-blonde strands around the face.
An inverted lob is similar to an a-line, as both have the longest hair at the front. However, the difference is that inverted cuts have stacked layers at the back. Lob haircuts with platinum highlights are perfect for cooler months, or just for ladies who lean towards ashier tones.
Playful, sweet and oh-so-natural, this ombre balayage lob uses soft, subtle tonality and a carefree cut to achieve that just-got-out-of-bed tousled effect. To style, we suggest spritzing locks with a light texturizing mist and finishing with a styling tool, paying extra attention to the pieces in the front.
Lobs are commonly seen colored dark brown or platinum blonde, but let’s not forget sweet and delicious middle hues! This hairstyle is so pretty in honey blonde, oozing warmth and softness into the cut that’s typically seen as sharp. Long layers also soften up the whole ‘do.
Wear your straight hair in a shaggy, tousled bob that oozes a distinctly edgy urban vibe. The long razored pieces are straggly and messy and graze the tops of the shoulders. The peek-a-boo bangs create an air of mystery while framing the forehead and cheekbones.
Thick hair can be particularly tricky when it comes to longer bobs. Cut too short, and you risk to finish with an unflatteringly poofy hairstyle. Keep the bob too long, and you lose out on shape. This style moves past both of those extremes, using varied lengths and light-catching bleached pieces to give hair life.
Here’s a trendy variation on the lob hairstyle. It’s textured through the ends and touched with a subtle color. A long bob with bangs frames your face nicely. Both dense and wispy bangs suit this style.
Long bob hairstyles can sometimes get extra long, but they don’t lose their sexy shape and inimitable appeal. This adorable extra long lob proves just that, mixing sweet, face-framing balayage highlights with a wavy texture within a long asymmetrical style.
Older ladies and working professionals should consider a long bob with layers amping up the crown section. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to go too short, this style allows you to keep length while still appearing classy and mature.
The center-parted blonde long bob will make your delicate fine hair look healthy and sun-kissed. The wispy A-line cut and brightening balayage boost volume and texture. With this lob, you can be easily mistaken for Khloe Kardashian!
Are you courageous enough to chop your hair into a shaggy lob with lots of straggly pieces? Go for the messy long bob haircut if you have hair that needs a boost of texture. The tousled top, off-center part, and long front pieces create volume and individuality, and the dishwater blonde color with platinum highlights gives the cut a modern edge.
Besides trendiness and modern appearance, the popularity of long bobs is also attributed to how versatile they are in terms of styling options. Worn pin straight in solid tones or textured and highlighted, this cut appeals to all hair types.
There’s no question that balayage is striking. But when that dye job mixes with super straight, sleek strands, your overall look isn’t just striking––it becomes dramatically gorgeous!
If you’re interested in wearing your straight blonde hair in a simple, easy-to-manage style, consider a long bob with bangs. The ever-so-slight waves frame the face, and the bangs lend the haircut a youthful, sporty feel.
The best part about any longer A-line brunette bob with layers is its versatility. The cut and color combination can look modern, messy and undone, as this model exemplifies. Or with the help of a hot styling tool, you can achieve a sleek professional hairstyle or even a curly vintage ‘do.
The classic long A-line bob has a sophisticated silhouette that flatters most face shapes and complements any outfit. The key to enhancing the appeal of this angled cut is to style the hair so it’s super-smooth with no flyaways or frizzies. The back section hits the nape, and the front section is long enough to graze the collarbone.
Subtle balayages can literally transform your long length bob giving it a new lease on life. The hairstyle appears two-tier revealing the dark, dense underlayer and textured, highlighted top layers full of movement and shine.
A shoulder-length razored lob can make even the thickest, waviest hair look neat and easily managed. Part it the way you like and get a perfect face-framing style. If you have naturally curly hair, you might want to blowdry it straight to achieve some extra length. Highlight your auburn hair with glints of copper and bronze to make the color even more gorgeous.
Redheads have more fun! And why choose one shade of red when you can have a beautiful assortment going from oxblood to copper and light ginger. Lobs are bold, so pairing them with striking colors is an appealing solution.
Love to be blonde but enjoy the easy maintenance of brown hair? Get the best of both worlds with this two-toned lob that brings texture and fun to otherwise mundane hair.
Sleek, posh and structured, this long bob cut with gentle babylights is the perfect transition style for any individual looking to go shorter while still enjoying a manageable length. It curls at the ends just like the classic bob, but the length lets you wear it both loose and in different chic updos.
This straight bob is one of our favorite styles. Long side bangs highlight the cheekbones and give it a sexy, flirty look. The caramel color with dark under layers gives the style dimensionality—elevating it way above your aver
