We’ve gathered 20 of the trendiest, most face-flattering bobs to help you choose which cut is right for you.

1Short Blonde Bob

This short, choppy bob is a fun summer style, especially when worn in this platinum color. Dark roots add some dimensionality to a cut that can be transition from professional during the day to dressed up and edgy when matched with a smoky eye.

5Rihanna Sleek Bob

One of the most trendsetting celebrity hairstyles, Rihanna’s A-Line bob is the perfect example of rocker chic style. Longer hair in front is cut asymmetrically, uniquely framing her face and adding more interest than a classic A-Line cut.

6Ultra Short Pixie Bob

A super short cut that’s a hybrid of a pixie and bob, this style falls just below the ear, and requires a little more styling effort since it’s too short to put up in a ponytail or bun. These long bangs with choppy texture are flattering on a variety of face shapes, and are easier to style than shorter blunt fringes.

11Centre Parted Bob With Auburn Highlights

19Tousled Curly Bob

If you prefer carefree hair over sharp and sleek styles, try a tousled bob full of messy curls. If your hair doesn’t have natural texture, setting damp hair in twisted buns or rollers overnight can give you this messy chic look, no heat styling required.

Full of natural looking waves, this long A-Line bob is just one of countless styles Beyonce has worn to perfection. If you’ve been considering a shorter cut but are afraid of missing your long hair, this is the perfect bob to test drive.
