20 Timeless Bob Hairstyles That Look Amazing on Every Hair Type
A bob hairstyle is a classic look that never goes out of style. Whether you have straight, wavy or curly hair, there’s a bob cut that will flatter your unique texture and face shape. From sleek lobs to chic short bobs, and from polished straight styles to effortlessly tousled waves, there’s a perfect bob for everyone!
1. Timeless Bob
The trick to the right hairstyle is doing one that complements your face shape. This model is not only gorgeous, but her hair complements her face shape beautifully adding some fresh and youthful air!
2. Blonde Balayage Bob
For a tousled wavy look, this balayage bob is perfect! The caramel streaks add a stunning fall vibe, but truthfully, it’s beautiful all year round! This wavy bob needs a touch of styling, the ghd hot brush is perfect to get these cute waves! This hairstyle works great on wavy and curly hair types!
3. Short Bob With Bangs
Create a curved shape that hugs the head, this style is great for adding volume to fine hair that’s straight or wavy. Add side bangs for an extra boost.
4. Sweeping Bob
For those who love styling their hair, this sweeping bob is what you need and is a head turner too! I recommend investing in a quality hair spray to keep the hair in place without it looking ‘stuck’.
5. Sleek and Straight
A sleek, straight-cut bob radiates confidence and sophistication, making a bold statement that you’re in control and you’ve got it all together. Its clean lines and sharp edges are perfect for the office or an evening out. Ideally, this hairstyle is for straight hair, wavy could work too but I recommend investing in a good hair straightener.
6. Big and Blonde
Do blondes have more fun? This look says yes! In all honesty, this layered, asymmetrical bob would look gorgeous in any color, but the contrast of dark roots with the platinum blonde shade is truly stunning! The haircut is perfect for round faces, especially with the off-center part.
7. Choppy Caramel Streaks
If you’re looking for a modern, low-maintenance hairstyle, this choppy textured bob is for you! The fabulous layers create volume and movement making this style great for thin hair. Add some contrasting highlights to create amazing depth and extra texture.
8. Textured in Brown
A bob doesn’t always need to be very short. For a ‘safe’ not too daring hairstyle, opt for a longer bob. Style it with waves and sharp ends to get the look!
9. Wavy Bob
This shoulder-length lob has subtle layers that are easy to style for a relaxed look. The blonde balayage highlights help to frame the face adding depth. It’s ideal for an effortless look that is put together.
10. Copper Bob
This stunning copper color combined with the lob hairstyle is truly a sophisticated look! Add some choppy layers and beach waves to complete the look.
11. Summer Bob
Get ready for summer with a choppy light blonde short bob. Ideal for thin hair, the hairstyle gives the illusion of thicker hair, especially with the side-sweeping bangs.
12. Textured Bob
This haircut is great for those with slightly thicker hair that is wavy or straight. You can style it or you can leave your natural waves on show. For a pretty contrast, add light highlights to the front hair strands.
13. Lob in Black
A sleek a-line lob is ideal for those with thicker hair who would find shorter hair hard to style. The polished modern look has sharp edges with wispy curtain bangs. It’s also a hairstyle that looks fabulous in one shade, it doesn’t need any highlights!
14. Short & Stylish
A chin-length bob haircut is perfect for those with smaller faces. It doesn’t take over, instead, it adds style and class! Add some shorter layers to the front to define the face.
15. Rachel Green Bob
If you’re a Friend’s lover then chances are you’re familiar the the “Rachel Green Bob”. While hers had more height and bounce, this long bob has a more modern take on the classic haircut.
16. Gray and Layered

Gray hair may not be for everyone, but this hairstyle is timeless and will transform any gray hair! Be sure to use a quality shampoo for gray hair that brings out the stunning different tones.
17. Bob and Curtain Bangs
For a sophisticated bob hairstyle, opt for chin-length hair that can be blow-dried inwards. Add some sweeping layers in the front to create this gorgeous look. This hairstyle is great for thick hair that’s easy to style.
18. Blown Out Bob
19. Blunt Blonde Bob
Give attention to your face and eyes with a short blunt bob. The white-blonde color lightens the look and gives the face a glow! While not everyone suits this blonde color, it complements her skin perfectly!
20. Auburn Bob
This stunning tousled haircut is still trending this year and it’s easy to see why. Ideal for wavy hair, it needs minimal styling and is great for framing the face. Add auburn highlights for depth and extra texture.
