Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

This incredibly shiny haircut is sleekness to the max! This soft bob falls just past the chin and has subtle rounding and tapering layers along the perimeter. The lack of bangs keeps this style simple and accentuates the gorgeous red color that totally rocks.

Think straight and sleek when styling this bob.
Use a comb to part your hair on the side and detangle.Use a paddle brush or a larger sized round brush to blow dry your hair. Bevel ends under slightly around the face.When you are done blow drying go back through and flat iron to really make the hair sleek and straight.Recommended Products:
I love Kérastase’s Oleo Relax Serum. Just one pump of their best selling oil goes a long way to hydrate, smooth, and protect hair from blow drying and flat ironing. It also has anti-humidity properties that will keep your hair far from frizz.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Round and square shaped faces would be most flattered by this style. If you have a heart or pear shaped face, just add some side bangs for balance and symmetry. All hair thicknesses are great for this hairstyle, but the straighter your hair is naturally, the easier it will be to achieve this look daily.
Tip:
For a precise cut like this, make sure you tell your stylist where you usually part your hair so they can customize the cut to fit your needs perfectly.
#8 Creamy Cut
The back of this haircut falls right above the shoulders and swoops down elegantly into a longer curving front. Long bangs help accentuate the soft curve around the face as well as the beveled under layers and styling. The creamy beige color is highlighted with sweet subtle vanilla ribbons for a truly amazing color combination.

The Moroccan Oil brand has amazing products to help keep hair sleek, smooth and frizz free. Try their Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner in the shower to help hydrate hair and follow up with their Treatment Oil when you get out. The hydrating ingredients help smooth and protect hair from heat as you blow dry and style.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Square and round shaped faces would look great with the elongated bob. Straight thick hair is ideal for achieving this particular look.
Tip:
This haircut pretty much has zero layers, so if you have extremely thick hair you may want to opt for a cut with more layers so it doesn’t feel as heavy.
#9 Chocolate Delight
This gorgeous brown color glows with a healthy sheen. Stacked layers in the back blend in beautifully to the longer ones in the front that fall in right along the jawline. The shorter layers help add volume and shape as well keep the cut from looking too heavy. Side-swept bangs give a softer feel to this bob hairstyle.

Redken’s Glass is a serum that will aid you in your blow dry as well as turn up the shine. Really show off those fun layers by using Studio Line Overworked Texture and Control Styling Paste by L’Oreal. It has a flexible hold that will take your style to the next level.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Heart shaped faces will be flattered most by this jawline-length bob. The layers give a round feel that will help balance out a heart shaped face. This particular photo shows medium to thicker hair that could be naturally straight or wavy.
Tip:
Most faces in the real world could fall into a couple of different categories. Not all human faces are extreme or perfect heart, square shapes, etc. Don’t feel so boxed in by your face shape and always consult your stylist as to what they think will look best on you.
#10 Short Whispers
Fun and flirty pieces dance around the face and the length of this bob falls perfectly right at the chin. Choosing a couple of colors to add in for highlights really creates a color swirl effect. Deeply parted bangs look light as a feather as they fall over the forehead and above the eyes. The whole style is very light and has an airy feel to it which means the layers are really well blended and will grow out beautifully.

A mousse may be too heavy for this look, so opt for a lighter foam like Privé Shining Weightless Amplifier. Apply all through the hair, but especially at the roots to get optimum volume.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
These long side bangs would compliment all face shapes. The photo shown is a fine and thin texture, but this bob would look fuller on clients with thicker hair. If you have curly hair I would suggest opting for something besides this particular style.
Tip:
When adding color, alternating lighter and darker pieces can look more natural and can also keep your color from becoming overly blonde.
#11 The Short Wavy Bob
This slightly above-the-chin length bob is a blunt cut but has lots of wispy layers cut within the shape to create softness. Wavier texture is also highlighted in this hairstyle with beautiful waves of red and brown blending together wonderfully. A slightly off-the-center part keeps balance and is great for clients who don’t want bangs.

If you have naturally wavy hair, simply comb out your hair, scrunch and diffuse. If you have straighter hair, follow these steps:
Part hair slightly to the side and blow dry. Don’t worry about your brush work so much because you will be creating your look more with a curling iron.Use a large-sized curling iron and curl your entire head. Because your hair is short it will create loose waves instead of curls.Brush your fingers through your waves to break them up a bit and then use the flat iron to flick out the bottom pieces to create a fun flip.Recommended Products:
While hair is damp, use Aussie Catch the Wave Hair Mousse. It has great flexible hold that’s great for waves and is also a leave-in conditioner. Follow up with their Spray and Scrunch Hairspray to enhance your waves even more.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
All face shapes can try this style out except strong pear shaped faces. The pretty waves are perfect for girls who have a little curl to their hair and the layers are cut into the shape to help make it work for girls with thicker hair, too.
Tip:
When you don’t have any bangs to compete with, you can play more and change where you part your hair more often. Switching up your look is as easy as going from a center part one day to a deep side part the next.
#12 Sleek and Smooth
Thick bangs fall from the top of the head down towards the eyes making a beautiful and mysterious statement. Sleek sides are angled towards the face and the length falls right past the chin. A rich color like this can be achieved by simply adding a red gloss over dark brown hair. You’ll get a spicy result that will really pops out in the sunshine.

Start out with a smoothing product for your blow dry like Frizz Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Cream. It has heat protection and helps create silky smooth blow drys. The Moroccan Oil Glimmer Shine Spray speaks for itself with its name. Micro beads lay on the hair like little mirrors that make your hair the definition of healthy reflection.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
All face shapes can rock this blunt hairstyle. Thick hair is a must to really get those bangs to look amazingly full. As with all sleek and straight styled bobs, the straighter your hair is, naturally the easier it will be to achieve.
Tip:
I always suggest bringing a picture to your hair appointments. There are so many variations of bobs and having a picture can really help get you and your stylist on the same page to creating the best version for you.
#13 The Flirty Flip
I love this asymmetrical style! The deep side part is curled back and away from the face to create a sweet and sexy flip. Leaving longer wispy pieces on one side is an awesome way to break out of the symmetrical box. Shorter wispy layers at the crown make this style feel light and airy and the gorgeous blonde color adds tons of drama.

Use a good volume product for fine hair like Kérastase’s Volumactiv mousse. Apply throughout your hair to add tons of body! Then follow up with a light hold hairspray like Healthy Sexy Hair’s Soy Weightless Touchable Hairspray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
All face shapes can pull this bob off, but round and oval faces would really shine. These shattered layers would do wonders for girls with thin straight hair that are always trying to add shape and volume.
Tip:
If you have really fine hair, try out some dry shampoo. It’s not just for day two hair. The powdery sprays add tons of volume to limp fine hair and will keep you looking oil-free all day.
#14 The Vampress
This classic bob boasts all the key qualities for a bob: a center part, one even length all the way around, and minimal tapered under layers. The length is a slightly longer version of the bob hitting right past the chin and above the shoulders. This beautiful, natural-looking copper color is head-turning stunner!

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Round and square shaped faces would be best for this symmetrical style. Medium to thick hair that is on the straighter side will be able to master this style.
Tip:
When hair is longer in the front it can sometimes get in the way, so opt for a couple of bobby pins and pin back just the front pieces for a totally chic look. Pin them to the sides or tease the front top section and pin it straight back on the top of your head.
#15 Berry Bob
Adding pops of cherry or wine to dark brown hair is always a gorgeous way to add color. People often don’t think about adding color to their bangs, but it is a great way to make a dramatic statement that really flatters the face. This bob takes on a fun vintage feel with its a-line shape and blunt bangs. This style is awesome for thick haired girls who want to lighten up the heaviness.

#16 Platinum Ice
Stunning pale blonde hair looks super sexy in this straight bob. A very subtle a-line (shorter in the back to longer in the front) hits an inch past the chin line. It’s great to opt for a more fun and dramatic shade of hair color when choosing a chic and simple cut like this one.

I recommend using a heat protection serum or spray before flat ironing, so try TIGI Bed Head Some Like It Hot Serum that you can find at local drugstores.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Round and square shaped faces will be complimented most with this bob. Thinner hair oftentimes looks fuller with a shorter cut, but thicker haired girls can try this bob out too. Curly hair will be difficult to style so straight.
Tip:
Invest in a good flat iron. I love InfraShine’s 1-inch flat iron because it has safe ceramic plates, a temperature control gauge, and results you’ll love.
#17 Sassy Classic
