The shoulder length bob hairstyles, or better known as the long bob or lob, is one of women’s favorite hairstyles. Short, shoulder-length bob hair is even a classic hairstyle. This short bob hairstyle is also suitable for all face shapes and hair textures.
Generally, bob styles are divided into 2 categories: flat bob (blunt bob) and bob with layers. Even though they both fall above or below the shoulders, there are many versions and shapes that you can try according to your taste.
Come on, check out our recommendations for the latest bob hairstyles below!
Shoulder length bob hairstyles: Korean Lob
A bob hairstyle that falls just above the shoulders may look flat, especially for those with straight hair with fine strands. Try giving a touch of face-framing layers to the front of your Korean-style long bob hair. The face is more framed and the bob hair becomes more shaped.
Bob Layer
The secret to fluffy hair is the hair style and cutting technique. Different from before, give thin layers to the bob model which is more like a trap to give texture at the bottom. Layered bob hair will look more textured and defined.
What’s even more exciting is that the bob hairstyle with shoulder-length layers is also good for those with thin hair. Layers can add volume and give the illusion of thicker hair, especially if you style it with a natural waves effect!
Don’t have a curling iron at home? No problem! The texture of bob hair with layers can also be formed with the help of the backstage runway’s mainstay hairspray. Hair can be styled without feeling sticky and stiff.
To do this, comb your hair to the left or right, spray hairspray on the palm of your hand, then crumple your hair to create a messy effect. After that, comb your hair in the opposite direction to add volume. You can try this trick to make your thin hair thicker!
Blunt Bob/Box Bob
Blunt bob or box bob is a bob haircut with flat ends. This bob style can help reduce volume on the sides of the face. This cut is also included in the 2023 hair trend and will be increasingly popular!
If you have an oval or long face, try this shoulder-length bob hairstyle. This hairstyle is also a suitable choice for shoulder-length hairstyles for round faces.
To trim the length of your face, try adding bangs. However, this women’s bob hairstyle can sometimes make your hair look flat, especially if you have thin hair that gets oily quickly. Try using volumizing shampoo or anti-glare shampoo to get around this.
Long Asymmetrical Bob
Don’t be afraid to try unique accents such as an asymmetrical bob haircut for women. This asymmetrical bob hairstyle is suitable for those of you with a round or square face.
Choppy Bob
Choppy cuts are characterized by uneven or irregular cuts at the bottom. This women’s bob hairstyle is suitable for almost all face shapes.
Give waves to this shoulder-length bob haircut if your face is long. Also suitable as an alternative to styling shoulder-length bob hairstyles for parties!
Graduated Bob
Graduated bob or inverted bob is more often called nungging bob by Indonesians, hehe. This woman’s bob hairstyle is characterized by the back part being shorter than the front part. The back is usually textured or has layers. The goal is to give volume.
In principle, an inverted bob is more suitable for those of you who have an oval face. However, if you have a long face, try a shoulder-length bob like this.
Apple Hairstyle
Another shoulder-length bob hairstyle that you can try is the apple hairstyle. The characteristic of this short hairstyle is the voluminous middle part and the back part which gives a bouncy effect.
The Apple hairstyle is suitable for rather thin hair because it can create the impression of thicker hair. You can also style it with Korean wavy hair.
Messy Lob
Prefer a messy look? Give texture in the form of layers to a short, shoulder-length bob like this. Or you can add a short shaggy cut with front bangs. If your hair tends to curl, the results will be more natural.
So, if your hair is fluffy and feels dry, it’s time for you to switch to daily care products for dry hair or damaged hair. Don’t forget to always use conditioner that focuses on the ends of your hair.
Curly Bob
Owners of thick, curly hair can also try short shoulder length hairstyles. Add layers in the right places, so this shoulder-length bob haircut won’t look heavy.
Bob with Highlights
Want to make your long bob hairstyle look cooler? Try varying it with a touch of blonde highlights like this. This coloring technique can be a ‘contour’ for those who have a long face.
A lighter color at the bottom can also give the illusion of shorter hair. Styles like this are currently trending Korean style short hair among K-Pop idols, you know!
