#11: Sew-In Bob for Black Hair
This brown sew-in wavy bob is a versatile hairstyle suitable for both professional settings and night-outs. I recommend trimming the ends (long layers, if possible) and regular treatments to maintain this style. Use heat protection to keep your hair healthy. Be mindful of your hair type and lifestyle—rushing into a hairstyle you don’t love can be disappointing. If you have very straight hair and struggle to maintain curls, consider a roller set or asymmetrical perm. For styling, use a moisture steam treatment, followed by a round brush blow-dry and light heat. Finish with a mix of heat and thermal sprays for a polished look.
#12: Messy Wavy Layered Bob
A short, textured wavy bob strikes the perfect balance between sexy and messy. Short hairstyles like this are suitable for any face shape, adding softness to the face. To style at home, use a light salt spray or mousse, blow-dry, and finish with a shine or texture spray. This look is ideal for active women, as it looks best when tousled.
#13: Shaggy, Stacked, and Wavy Hairstyle
The shaggy, stacked, and wavy bob is one of the easiest styles to maintain. Its effortless design means you don’t have to overthink styling. Ask your stylist to use your hair’s natural texture to add volume for an organic, timeless look. This cut works for all hair types, but finding the right products is key to maintaining it.
#14: Wavy Inverted Bob
Adding wavy curls to an inverted bob highlights the hair’s depth and adds sass to a classic cut. This style is perfect for women who want versatility, as it looks great both wavy and straight. The front length flatters all face shapes. Style with a flat iron, using heat protection, and finish with a light-hold spray to keep the curls movable.
#15: A Very Short Bob
A very short wavy bob allows you to enjoy healthy hair while keeping some length. This is a great choice for those who want shorter hair without going for a pixie cut. It’s perfect for women with natural curls or bends in their hair. Remove weight below the occipital bone to prevent the back from bulging, making it suitable for thick hair. Style with a texturizing cream for added dimension and control. Use Oribe Matte Waves for a diffused look or a flat iron for effortless waves.
#16: Cute Curly Wavy Bob for Women Over 40
A short wavy bob is great for women over 40, as it’s versatile and easy to style. This classic bob and fringe combo has a modern twist, requiring just a quick flick of curls and smoothing the fringe for a polished look. For styling, use a smoothing iron and a comb or paddle brush to create C-shaped waves. A heat-protectant spray is ideal for daily touch-ups.
#17: Flattering for Women Over 50
A short wavy bob is flattering for women over 50, as it can be styled in numerous ways. Air dry, finger curl, blow it out straight, or use a curling iron for waves. This trendy hairstyle suits all face shapes with minor adjustments. Use a root lifter and humidity defense spray to prevent frizz.
#18: Pixie Bob with an Undercut
A pixie bob with an undercut looks stunning with caramel balayage. This versatile style can be worn straight, wavy, or pinned up. It’s perfect for women with thick or coarse hair, as it removes bulk while maintaining fullness. Style with thermal cream and smoothing serum for a polished finish.
#19: The Blunt Bob
This stylish blunt bob is perfect for strong bone structures. Add gentle waves for a chic look. A blunt cut gives hair a lighter texture and works for all hair types. Choose the right products to maintain this urban style.
#20: Asymmetrical Bob
A chin-length, asymmetrical bob emphasizes the jawline and lengthens the face. Medium-textured hair works best for soft waves, adding volume and texture. A blonde balayage highlights the angles, drawing attention downward. Style with a thickening spray and a 1 1/2-inch curling iron for a polished finish.
