Clean lines meet everyday chic.
We all laughed at a meme that showed “Hair I want” with a stylish short haircut and “What I also want” with long locks. Indeed, sometimes it is so hard to choose! And the long angled bob is the haircut most of us eventually land on. It has clean angles and a flattering shape and can be endlessly adapted with color, layers, or bangs. Here are top picks to consider for a chic look day in and day out.
The longer length of this haircut compared to the classic bob cut allows for a smoother color gradient. The ashy dark blonde at the roots effortlessly transitions into creamy blondes and culminates with white blonde tips.

The deep chocolate brown shade of this gorgeous haircut brings to the fore the health of the hair. The strands are glossy and supple, giving off vivacious energy. This cut is slightly tousled as if the strands were windswept on the move. But we bet it would look equally stunning when styled smooth and sleek.

When cut right, an inverted bob naturally falls into a rounded shape that complements the shape of your head. Enhance the shape a little bit by styling the ends of your cut inward. With long side bangs flaring out, this haircut gets a touch of dimension and movement.

Waves get a serious update with the flattering balayage! The gradual lightening effect of the ombre balayage creates a natural-looking transition that complements the waves. The lighter ends highlight the movement and texture of wavy hair.
@vidogisalon
Get the best of both worlds with this dreamy haircut – the longer front strands that are so characteristic of an angled bob and a voluminous graduated back typical of stacked haircuts. With the soft bangs that round off the shape of the cut and dimensional pastel color, this hairstyle is streamlined and graceful.

If you thought long bobs were only fit for monochromatic looks, think again. This visionary blonde angled bob incorporates pastel highlights and lowlights in varying shades. Thanks to the tousled texture the play of light on the strands makes them even more dimensional and enigmatic.

Tweaking your mundane hairstyle can be as easy as cutting bangs. Talk to your hairstylist to discuss the right type of bangs for your face shape, hair texture, and maintenance commitment. The voluminous curved out bangs flawlessly complement the sleek rounded shape of the hairstyle.
@dianaelam92
The difference in length of the frontal pieces is what gives this hairstyle visual interest. When your hair naturally parts somewhat off-center, such asymmetrical styles will be simple to cut and style. This cut will be especially flattering for round or heart-shaped faces, creating pleasing angles and elongating the face.

The structured shape of a long bob can create the illusion of thickness for fine hair. Opt for subtle layers or blunt ends, depending on whether you want added movement or a thicker-looking baseline. Maintenance matters, too – fine hair can lose its shape quickly, so regular trims are essential.
@nadinadelray
No wonder so many A-list celebrities adopted the softness of bend waves – they exude a relaxed vibe without looking overly styled. To recreate the look, clamp the flat iron halfway down the section, twist your wrist to make a slight bend in the hair, and then move the iron down the strand to form an “S” shape.
@miranda.marzorati
An angled cut can add structure and shape to your curls. Think about it – the angles and layers of the bob can help to define your natural curls and the shorter length in the back will manage the volume. The longer front pieces frame your face nicely, highlighting your facial features and adding a charming touch.
@eujayrodrigues
If a one-length cut seems too stiff or heavy for you, try a layered bob. Layers introduce movement and dimension to your hair. They can create an illusion of more volume and fullness, especially beneficial for those with finer hair textures.
@asmahkhalifa
Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, highlights can bring out the natural texture, adding the multi-dimensional effect we all love. In this hairstyle, subtle warm highlights add a sun-kissed glow. Bright and summer-ready!
@blassomhair
In general, blunt cuts are famed for their ability to create the illusion of fuller, thicker hair. The delicate curtain bangs with feathered ends will bring a touch of lightness to such a blunt cut. Style them with a round brush for volume and a gentle flick to accentuate your cheekbones.
@salon.south
Surprisingly enough, an angled cut can be a fantastic choice for thick hair. It removes some of the bulk and weight in the back, helping to control the volume at the nape. The structure of this hairstyle provides a defined shape that showcases the natural volume of thick hair.
@alyssonferreira__
Needless to say that the bob’s structure helps to keep hair from looking weighed down, which is a common issue with thin hair. The angled cut creates a defined shape that can add body and bounce to otherwise flat hair.
@anahairgs
“When your red hair meets the perfect cut, magic happens.” That’s how the specialists from Society Salon in LA describe this haircut. It’s super sleek, proportional, and vibrant. A perfect hairstyle to accentuate the best features of your hair – texture, length, and color.
@societysalons
Peekaboo balayage is a fun way to add a pop of color to your hairstyle without being too bold! The milk chocolate base hides a splash of golden honey. Those peekaboo highlights that are underneath require less frequent touch-ups than the traditional ones.
@kellybeestyles
Styling your hair with a deep side part means adding angles and creating the illusion of length and structure. This parting softens the angular features of a square face and draws attention away from the wider forehead of a heart-shaped face.
@thebeautynavigator
A center part, on the other hand, is a master of symmetry and balance. It would look organic on oval and diamond-shaped faces, highlighting the balanced proportions of these face shapes. Given the long bob has some soft layering, the center part can also work great for square faces.
@hairbyginala
With so many wonderful options out there, we are sure finding the right lob is a matter of minutes. Pin-straight or with a bend wave, stacked or one-length, with or without bangs – the “Hair I want” is just one click away.
