Short Bob Haircuts for Timeless Charm

The bob haircut is a popular hairstyle that has spanned several decades. Its popularity stems from this hairstyle’s ability to flatter most face shapes. Additionally, the bob comes in a variety of lengths, textures, and hairdos to suit every taste.

This versatile hairdo is characterized by its length where it extends to the chin and rests above the shoulders. We’ll be exploring the different kinds of short bob haircuts from the glamorous textured bobs to the sleek and angular "blunt bob."

Let’s dive into the different types of short bob haircuts and discover why it’s so beloved.

Types of Short Bob Haircuts: Layered Bob

The layered bob is exactly as it sounds. This hairstyle’s layers can change a bob’s overall look by adding more volume, creating texture, and even framing the face for a flattering look. While most face shapes look great with the layered bob, this haircut gives an added benefit to round, square, and oblong faces. The layers help elongate round faces and balance out the proportions of oblong and square-shaped faces.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next salon visit or want to try the layered bob for yourself, Raquel Welch and Gabor have layered bob wigs that are bound to strike your fancy.

Types of Short Bob Haircuts: Shaggy Bobs

Our next entry puts a contemporary twist on the classic bob. With the popularity of the wolf cut, is it a surprise shaggy bob haircuts are trending, too? The tousled appearance is achieved through the use of uneven, choppy layers. Not only do these layers create texture and volume but they are very flattering on all face shapes.

Different hair textures benefit from shaggy bobs, too. The layers give fine hair dimension and volume while they eliminate the bulk of thick and curly hair.

We have a couple of shaggy bob wigs in our collection. Check out our favorites from Noriko and Rene of Paris.

The angled bob refreshes the classic bob style with its unique cut. The hair is longer in the front and gradually gets shorter in the back to create an angular silhouette. Sleek, wavy, or curly, the angled bob suits all hair textures!
