When it comes to short hairstyles, a chin-length bob with bangs is unquestionably the one that celebrities have loved over the years. If your hair is short and you are looking for some inspiring images, you are in the right place! Besides, if you still have longer locks and think of cutting them short, here we’ve sorted out some of the hottest bob looks in 2024.
A bob cut and bangs can make an excellent combo. However, your hair texture and the type of bangs that you choose — whether side swept, curtain, or short and choppy — have much impact on the final result. Check the following examples, and you’ll see it’s a worthy option for your next cut.
A chin length bob is an ideal way to showcase sharp angular features like these striking cheekbones. For ladies with thin hair, this choppy cut is a great way to add texture and fullness without curls. The thin highlights, also known as babylights, add a glimmer of color throughout the style as opposed to the heavy, streaky highlights of the past.
A bob with lightweight, wispy layers is great for anyone with thicker hair who doesn’t want to feel weighed down. Making the shortest layers at the back of the crown the same length as your bangs up front also helps to create an overall sense of balance.
An easy way to add length around the face is with an inverted bob that moves from the back of the neck to the shoulder because it draws the eye down. Soften the severe cut with a mix of subtle blonde ombrè highlights that brighten dark chocolate locks. This stunning look is polished enough for work and fairly sexy for the weekend.
As Beyoncé says, “I woke up like this.” Bed head is the ultimate sexy texture for a blunt or textured shoulder length cut. Wispy side bangs blend seamlessly into the messy waves for a carefree look that invokes the mysterious yet approachable nature of the “girl next door.” This hairstyle works best with fine and medium thick hair textures.
If you’re worried about a jaw length cut feeling like no hair at all, try a bob with bangs that’s got thickness and volume up at the crown. Skip piecey layers and lightweight bangs and go all in with full front bangs and an almost bowl-like shape — think Beatles, but elevated and ready-to-wear.
A bob cut that’s chopped straight across at the bottom is unique and looks best when worn straight to emphasize the sharp line. Up top, go for a deep middle part right through the bangs to mirror the blunt bottom, and let caramel highlights add a little life to an otherwise linear finish.
A super chic, no-nonsense straight bob works best when hair is just above the shoulder length and cut at an angle towards the face. Rather than opting for front-facing bangs, try out their cooler older sister: a long, layered side bang. Blow dry your bang to sweep away from your frame towards the back of the head for a little contrast.
To make a bob with side bangs feel grungier, ask your stylist for razor-cut choppy layers scattered haphazardly throughout the head. Don’t stop when it comes to the bangs: have them equally unkempt. This messy approach works best with chin-length hairstyles, as too much length can weigh it down.
If you have naturally fine hair, you need to pay attention to this gorgeous hairstyle. The long sleek bob with side bangs and feathered layers adds another dimension to the look, making it stylish and complete. The blonding job here is stunning, too!
Nothing enhances a layered haircut quite like a contrasting color, and this lavender shade really makes a statement against a darker base. Go for a chin length with super choppy layers, and comb a shine serum through strands for a piecey wet-look finish that’s edgy and sleek.
When bob haircuts with bangs feel particularly perfected and coiffed, they can give off serious Anna Wintour, magazine-editor, boss babe vibes. Talk about a power cut! For this take, ask your hair stylist to keep it A-line, then add in a frame around the face and straight across bangs that hit right at the brows.
When you have curly or wavy hair texture, a layered bob can really enhance your hair’s natural body. If you’ve got stick-straight strands and want to create mermaid hair of your own, wrap large sections loosely around a 1”curling wand, and spritz the finished look with some sea salt spray for an added beachy finish.
While in your childhood you might have been terrified of a haircut with bangs of a too short length, the French consider cropped bangs to be quite cute and stylish. To keep the cut intentional and avoid the risk of looking childish, make things edgy with sliced layers and a slightly A-line shape.
Cute with a side of sass, this is what happens when a bob meets a shag. Super modern and super playful, this cut would work especially well with naturally wavy hair: blow out the bangs, scrunch in some product, then go forth and be sexy.
If you have a high forehead, bangs hairstyles can help you to balance your face shape and visually make it more oval. This choppy and uneven version creates a flirty and playful look that’s congruent with the tousled bob.
Who says very short hair can’t be styled? While you might not want to curl a crazy short bob, using a texturizing paste to add some wave can generate volume and movement for a simple, short cut. Take some product and use your fingers to work it through the hair, twisting and scrunching to achieve a carefree, lived-in look.
You don’t have to dye your dark hair to give it a more creative look, as short bob hairstyles can make your hair look trendy straight away! Subtle waves and volume at the roots give casual vibes to your cut, while a wispy fringe adds charm to the appearance as a whole.
If an angular cut isn’t your thing, ask your stylist to use face-framing layers to create what’s referred to as a rounded bob. The overall shape should be somewhat circular, with the layers slightly choppy to avoid appearing blocky. Go for straight-across front bangs to break things up a bit.
Since bob hairstyles with bangs are so classy, they allow for tons of freedom to play around with statement colors.

Why contour your jawline when your haircut can do it for you? This shape features a super-sharp length that hits right at the jaw, coupled with some softer, shorter layers and bangs up top.

A deep side part is essential for achieving those dramatic, in-your-face side-swept bangs.
