With the angled front falling well below the collarbone, this lob is as sexy as it is sleek. The deep black hue enhances the mystique.

This medium, shoulder-length style is simple, yet oh-so-eye-catching! Angled with longer layers towards the front and stacked in the back, this bob can be created using large rollers or simple twists of the curling iron. Then simply spritz and go!
If you want to make a statement, team the bleached tresses with pastel highlights and ample volume. Tease around the crown of the head with a fine toothcomb and use hairspray to recreate a bob with just as much height and volume as shown in the image.
Angled cuts by nature give an illusion of volume to fine strands. When your hairdo is choppy and layered, it enhances the fullness even more. Another perk—you don’t have to worry about the layers being neat and kept because the frizz only complements the cool style.
Never underestimate the power of loose curls. Their mesmerizing texture transforms a would-be-blah coif into something full of volume and feminine style. A blonde balayage only accentuates its glamour and classic appeal.
Angled bob hairstyles don’t always have to rely on sharp and dramatic cuts to be modern and trendy. Only a little longer in the front than the back, it’s a big enough difference to count. The slanting lines mixed with subtle layers give it volume, while highlights throughout enhance the appearance of depth.
Sometimes a solid hue can feel a little flat, but high-contrast streaks might not be your style. If you want to enliven your look subtly, get highlights that are a shade or two lighter than your base. This will give you that extra oomph you’re craving.
Wavy hair has its pros and cons, and sometimes, those waves need the silhouette of a bob to control them. Try this style with the medium length for something new. It still has an angle, but it’s definitely less defined, giving you a bit of wiggle room at the ends.

Slightly stacked in the back, this angled bob is great for those with very straight hair. The main shape of the style cradles the back of the head, seeming almost to be a Flapper Style, but the point below the ears says otherwise.
The jet black base against the vibrant violet highlights creates a punk-inspired ‘do that transcends the trends. The sleek lines and fun colors are a timeless choice for someone trying to show off their edgier side while still keeping the coif a little playful.
To lengthen a round face, you want to keep the front longer. Try light side swept bangs, which can be longer or shorter, and make sure to give the ends a bit of texture. Faint burgundy at the tips allows the style to glow from underneath.
If you love the idea of a short cut but can’t bring yourself to chop off all your locks, why not compromise with a long angled bob. Hold onto your length with a longer front, and opt for a stacked back to get that desired ease that goes with short hair.
With vibrant or bold color choices, it’s best to go with a sleek coif. When the hair is short and straight, it makes the electric hue the main focus. It’s not to say big curls and long locks aren’t beautiful with a fuchsia hue, but there’s just something alluring about a cropped cut that exudes sophistication.
For a new, edgy look that is sophisticated and ready for anything, try this gorgeous lob. A very steep angle shoots down and towards the front, while the smooth nape features the flaring line of the back.
Wispy waves and a blonde balayage are beautiful ways to keep a chin-length bob contemporary. It’s a fuss-free and smart choice if you’re not trying to commit to a full head of bleach blonde locks. Just add a few lighter pieces to brighten the face and give you that sought-after it-girl look.
Classic cuts like wavy lobs are the perfect canvas for more adventurous colors. They tone down the fun color so that your hairstyle is suitable for the office or class. Try a muted shade, like this subdued lilac, for a hairdo that spotlights your personality while still looking polished.
These angled bob ideas are super appealing and definitely worth trying! While some styles suit certain people, most can work for anyone, anywhere. Next time you want to refresh your medium-length haircut, be sure to visit your stylist and have them give you one of these chic new looks!
