A term for hair that is cut anywhere from just above the chin or almost below the shoulders, the bob hairstyle 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.

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 customise it to suit your needs and personal taste, the bob cut is anything but boring.

What Shape Of Face Suits A Bob Hairstyle?

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.

A bob hairstyle is a seasonal all-rounder. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn, or winter – bob is suitable for any season. With a bob you can do beach waves in summer and straight bob in autumn.

A simple bob cut is also very stylish with fringes. Fringes are really amazing with bobs and they can look both classic and sassy.

If you want to get that retro feel then we offer you to try micro fringes and combine it with a French bob as seen on Natalie Portman. However, if you want a classic style then make your bob straight and you will be stunning.

How Can A Bob Be Styled?

In general, a bob can be styled in many ways and will add a great style to your overall look. A side-swept bob is a sassy hairstyle and you’ll get many comments when you opt for this style.

Wavy bob cuts are also very stylish and they look perfect if you add some stylish colours like ash blonde, blonde, grey, or silver.

Graduated bob cuts are also very stylish. Though some people may think that graduation tends to look a little dated, a lot of fashionable women choose this style to bring back retro fashion.

However, if you want some changes then we can keep it blunt on ends and break it up with a soft texture.
