Want to make your short hair look more feminine and attractive? A classic French bob might come in handy, especially if you like chic Parisian style. This haircut frames the face beautifully, adding softness to your slightly edgy look.
@ninbndhair
Messy hair always has a way of exuding some careless charm, and this gorgeous haircut proves it. The length, which is a bit shorter than chin-length hair, helps to create a bolder look, thus drawing more attention to its owner.

This hairstyle will look particularly flattering on naturally wavy hair. If you have fine hair, you’d love the idea of adding more volume to your mane by styling the hair to the side. Fix the final result with the right hair product to keep your hairdo longer.
@charlesjuniorlouw
Some haircuts remain in style for a long time, just like this tapered bob. The hairstyle suits all hair types and it is relevant for all ages as well. Add blonde highlights to your dark hair to make your natural hue more dimensional.

This attractive bob hairstyle delivers a look fit for the runway! If you like this Parisian chic vibe, show your hairstylist this photo to showcase what you need, and don’t forget to ask for bits of advice about hairstyle maintenance.

To copy this look, ask your stylist to cut your hair in layers to make it more textured and dye your mane in a bright blonde color. With a salt spray and volumizing mousse, it’s simple to keep the style tousled during the whole day.
@juniorestevamoficial
Does your short hair seem to look too boring to you? How about spicing it up a little bit with choppy bangs and messy textured strands? Your hairdo will look very cute and stylish. Wear it for work or a special occasion, and enjoy the versatility of your new style!
@artemis12866
What an elegant hairstyle is this retro-inspired box bob cut! With the bangs styled on the side, it looks truly stunning. Also, the fringe helps to emphasize your beautiful facial features, especially the eyes.
@sergeyshapochka
This lovely haircut looks great on naturally curly hair. If you want to enhance your hair texture, ask your stylist for a soft crop with a textured fringe to introduce more volume to the look. For styling, use a curl-defining cream and a diffuser to make your ringlets pop.
@thatguyreno
Looking for something unusual and catchy? Pay attention to this gorgeous silver bob, which shows off your jawline and emphasizes your cheekbones. To balance your face shape, you can add long curtain bangs to accentuate your facial features and distract attention from a high forehead.
@jhair_stylist
Are you dreaming of instant volume without spending much time on hair styling? Then, this haircut is what you need! Blow dry your hair and style it to the side with your favorite texturizing spray, and you are ready to go! Both thick and thin hair would look great with this cut.
@brentdanielbasore
This bob flatters most face shapes, which makes it one of the most versatile short cuts. Add layers and long side swept bangs to give the fine tresses a flattering rounded shape. Caramel hue with shadow roots is a great hair color choice finishing off the look.
@oluchizelda
This cut with straight across bangs has perceived elements of a French bob. It suits women of all ages, making them look stylish and eye-catching. If you have a long face shape, you can balance it with a fringe and achieve a more charming look.
@hirohair
The sleek micro bob looks amazing on women with oval and square-shaped faces. This cut looks even bolder when paired with an undercut and a vivid auburn hair color. Go for it if you’re not afraid of experiments!
@nicoletenerowicz
Classic beach waves always look gorgeous, even on short hair. Whether you have naturally wavy hair or curl your straight locks a bit with a wand, it will look exquisite with this length. This is a perfect hairstyle for a date or special occasion, but you may wear it anywhere.
@cagancrea
The bob cut like this is very easy to maintain and style, which is one of the essential reasons for its high popularity. We love how this natural dark blonde hair color has been stepped up with subtle face framing highlights!
@davidwbullen
This shaggy bob hairstyle is all about texture and flawlessness. Go for layers and let your flippy ends run wild to create the airy messy look. Be sure that this style will bring you the desired style points!
@hollygirldoeshair
A bob haircut with curly locks is a fantastic combo, and if you have thin curly hair, it will help you create extra volume and fullness. The stacked back and natural frizz contribute to a super cute style.
@rcgimenes
This feathered bob is a perfect example of a full, voluminous hairstyle. Along with the perfectly trimmed face-framing pieces and stunning brown balayage that adds golden shine to your hair, it looks truly divine.
@iambrandibeauty
This is where sassy meets chic! The haircut features straight shiny locks and cute micro bangs that open up the face in an absolutely stunning way. Note it works on thick and thin-haired girls.
