Cute Wavy Bob Haircuts to Try This Season
Whether you have naturally wavy hair or consider adding those gorgeous beach waves to your cut, bob length is just the ideal variant, as it keeps the curls bouncy and not weighted down. Plus, curling short hair often takes just a few minutes. Angled, stacked, graded and A-line bobs are all in favor! Browse the best wavy bob ideas to choose your new look.
1. Shoulder-Length Spiraled Bob
While having a curly style with straight bangs used to be seen as a faux pas, it can work with shorter styles because it helps to blend different layers. Straight pieces in the front will frame the face and work especially well to slim chubby cheeks.
2. Neck-Length Razored Wavy Bob
Try the modern wavy bob with midshaft bents. The light brown hair has ash blonde highlights throughout, and the center part helps to frame the face beautifully. It’s a feminine haircut, but the choppy ends give it a sporty vibe.
3. Wavy Choppy Ash Brown Bob
There’s something about the soft waves in a short choppy bob that gives it a charming girlish feel. The ashy brown angled cut is fresh and easy, with a sense of fullness and volume. It’s an excellent choice for the woman whose hair tends to be thin or a little flat at times.
4. Light Lob with Large Messy Waves
Do you have what it takes to rock a long wavy bob? Gorgeous, blonde, and free flowing; it hits the shoulders running. Simple and quick to style, you can go to sleep with a few comfy braids; and in the morning shake ‘em loose and you’re ready to go beachy!
5. Messy Wavy Brown Lob
Dark, smoldering, and shoulder-length; it’s not your grandma’s bob hairstyle. In fact, it’s anything but old-fashioned! The natural brown base color highlighted with rusty-red tones draws out the exotic nature that resides within any confident woman. An added benefit? The messy long waves are a breeze to style and maintain.
6. Angled Bob with Beach Waves
Consider an inverted, angled bob hair cut to bring out the best of your beachy waves. The dark roots add depth and volume to the different shades of blonde, and the long, bright white pieces in the front highlight the face. Part it on the side to show off all the layers and texture.
7. Autumn-Ready Stacked Scrunched Wavy Bob
Short and sassy, this layered, inverted bob delivers lots of texture and a classy shape. The tousled top and stacked back make it easy to style and maintain, and the chin-length locks frame the face in a feminine way.
8. Rounded and Feathered Bob Haircut
Looking for a rounded short wavy bob that will work great in and out of the office? Try a feathered and textured bob cut on for size. Hitting just below the jawline, the chunky layers work great for most face shapes, and the unique strawberry blonde color attracts the eye whether you’re coming or going.
9. Feminine Peek-a-Boo Bob
Are you feeling sultry and mysterious, or shy and unassuming? Whatever mood you’re in, one thing’s for sure: you’ll be feeling ultra-feminine with a longer tousled bob. Keep them guessing as you “peek-a-boo” from behind the sexy swoop of wavy blonde hair that strategically falls just in front of one of your eyes.
10. Blunt Wavy Blonde Bob
If you have thin hair, a blunt bob haircut would work wonders for your hair type. It creates a thicker hair effect and your ends don’t look thin anymore. This blonde bob hairstyle is super low maintenance too. If you are rocking naturally wavy hair, just let it air dry and apply a texturizing spray to achieve that carefree vibe.
11. Straight-Cut Lob with Textured Ends and Waves
If you’re feeling youthful and looking for a super-fashionable and comfy bob, a textured shoulder-length lob might be the best way to go. Try a mixture of subtle cool- and warm-toned highlights for a more modern, visually interesting style.
12. Long Blonde Wavy Bob Haircut
Blonde wavy bob is a delightful way to be in the spotlight. And it’s effortless too – create a middle part and a few soft waves that elegantly frame your face. Voila! You’ve got yourself a chill but voguish look.
13. One-Length Beachy Textured Bob
A little movement in your bob can make your look go from classic to wild. Wavy layered hair is a hot topic this year. Add darker roots and super blonde balayage, and you’ll get a cool voguish look. The beachy feel is achieved by textured, tousled strands.
14. Loosely Curled and Tousled Lob
A great option for outdoorsy and active types, the loose midshaft-to-ends curls of the tousled lob look spectacular when they flow freely and gently touch the collarbone. The long deep chocolate brown waves and the classic center part line mean that it can be easily gathered in a flouncy ponytail when you’re exercising or out on a hike.
15. Tousled Blonde Bob with Layers
Look your luxurious best with this pale blonde wavy bob. The hairstyle creates a cute graduated effect enhanced by the untamed appearance of beachy waves.

20. Uneven Piece-y Wavy Bob
Blonde and sassy-tastic, there’s a lot to be said for the woman who wears a piece-y wavy bob hairstyle. Full and voluptuous, highlights shimmer throughout the choppy bob; perfect for dancing the night away at your favorite club. The uneven ends that meet at the neck are a unique surprise.

22. Angled Choppy Bob with Jagged Edges
The best of both worlds; short, textured locks drop into increasingly longer bright blonde waves that hit the collarbone. An angled choppy bob is just right for the lady who enjoys the public eye, and even though the ends are jagged and uneven, it’s not a cookie cutter hairstyle by a long shot.
23. Ash Blonde Wavy Lob for Fine Hair
If your hair tends to lay flat, spruce it up with a piece-y, textured lob for fine hair. Part it the way you like and finger comb to reveal the natural waves or style quick bents with a straightener. A lob is an ideal medium haircut when you are trying to grow out a short style into long hair.
24. Long Wavy Copper Blonde Bob

28. Chic Windblown Short Bob
This wavy layered strawberry candy bob has an amazing volume thanks to the cut. The soft layered pieces are styled in a playful whirlwind motion. Every strand is moving and curly, revealing its own mood. The lightweight, short, sexy hairstyle is also so exceptional thanks to its warm, light-reflecting color.
29. Short Choppy Bob with Dimensional Waves
Whether you work in a corporate environment or an art gallery, you’ll be the center of attention when you take a chance with a chocolate and golden blonde choppy bob. The stacked dimensional waves barely have a bent, and the rounded shape is shattered which offers it a super-stylish edge.
30. Long Disconnected Wavy Bob
Wintry blonde waves with thin golden highlights are what give this cute disconnected bob such an irresistible beachy feel. The extra-long length means it’s convenient to occasionally put it into an updo, but we’d suggest that you never choose to hide the slightly textured waves and jagged ends in an ordinary ponytail. What a waste!
31. Wavy Bob with Bangs
This version of a classic bob cut is slightly longer, making it flattering for round or heart-shaped faces. If you want to go even further in framing your face, go for bangs. Try full bangs for a thorough opaque effect, or give Korean bangs a shot. They are lighter, breezier bangs that end somewhere between your lashes and eyebrows.
32. Bouncy Tousled Curls
Cute and feminine, tighter curls give this chin-length bob more movement and volume. It’s an excellent way to make your hair look fuller and livelier. Apply a thermal protection spray onto your damp hair before styling to maintain its healthy appearance.
33. Bob with Large Dimensional Curls
Soda-can-sized curls provide a distinctively retro-style that reminds us of the Hollywood starlets from the 1940s. Of course, back then, they didn’t have the variety of colors the balayage offers today. The chocolate-brown base highlighted with strawberry blonde hues will make you feel like you’re on the red carpet (even when you’re just at the supermarket)!
34. Choppy Wavy Angled Bob for Fine Hair
If you have difficulties livening up your flat and fine hair, we might just have the right hairstyle for you. Flip your head upside-down, scrunch the hair with some light hold styling mousse and it will stay weightless and voluminous all-day long. The classic bronde tones in a medium wavy bob give a sense of volume and lift that also helps to combat the flatness.
35. Wavy Layered Bob with Flicks
Medium length, rounded silhouette and layers are another great idea of a flattering bob for thick hair. If your hair is slightly curly from nature, you’ll get those lovely flicks without any styling. If not, use a large-barrel curling iron to shape the ends.
36. Cute Coffee-Colored Bob
Dark hair is sexy for many reasons — it looks healthier and reflects shine better. These are just a few of those reasons. But, the downside of having dark hair with a wavy bob is that it can look a little too dense. The best way to make it more lightweight is with highlights in a lighter color that will add dimension and break up the cut.
37. Sexy Black Bob
Not everyone’s hair texture is naturally wavy, but that does not mean that sexy tousled waves can’t be achieved with a curling iron. The key is to quickly wrap hair in alternating directions starting from the middle of each strand to keep them from turning into spiral curls.
38. Dark Brown Bob Cut with Highlights
The mix of dark blonde highlights on a textured wavy bob defines the lush strands and adds a pinch of glamour to your look. It’s a manageable but chic hairstyle, that will help you look your best every day.
39. Soft Chin Length Bob
This lovely short bob features feathery layers throughout the ends for a casual relaxed look. This is an easy and straightforward take on a classic wavy bob hairstyle that requires minimal upkeep with the maximum effect. Just create a few cute curves and you are ready to go.
40. Ash Blonde Spirals
Make a wavy bob your own with the help of some expert color that is tailored to your skin tone. This beautiful balayage pairs well with her slightly tanned complexion because the ash hues create a good contrast and won’t add any ruddiness.
41. Layered Lob with Balayage
This long wavy bob is so adorable, it makes you want to reach out and touch those angled caramel strands. The shaggy wavy texture of the hairstyle is divine and looks much more interesting than casual hair. The beautiful caramel waves are incredibly shiny and stand out very well against the deep brown base. We simply love this wavy angled lob!
42. Side-Swept Bob for Fine Hair
The wavy bob is the must-have style of the year. The textured cut is perfect for volume and softening sharp facial features. The angle in the front creates fullness, and the deep side part pulls double duty by also slimming round cheeks.
43. Pastel Colored Bob
Because the long wavy bob is so popular, sometimes you need to do a little something extra to make it pop — and color is just the trick that you need. Known as red violet, this unique mix of maroon, mauve and rose gold is sure to turn more than a few heads.
44. Wavy Half-Braided Bob
Wondering how else can you rock your messy bob? A simple half up side braid can add an interesting accent to your casual style. It’s a fun asymmetric twist that will take just another 2 minutes of your styling routine.
45. Shimmery Highlights in Wavy Bob
Want a hairstyle that breathes with ease and nonchalance? Here’s a good example. The wavy angled layers provide a good balance of weight and volume. The loose, soft curls are wonderful in texture, and the lovely golden balayage brings them straight to absolute perfection.
46. Short Wavy Bob with Side Bangs
Here is a way to boost thickness of your fine hair strands. Go for the shortest stacked bob version with feathered streaks, get some subtle highlights and style light messy waves.
47. Shaggy Wavy Bob
If you have thick strands, a blunt cut can feel heavy in a medium length hairstyle. Because of this it’s best to incorporate a few light razored layers around the ends to give the cut a bit of airiness and movement. Achieve the piece-y separation that is popular with a bit of styling wax or sea salt spray.
48. Medium Bob with Wavy Texture
This bob is angled very subtly, so it features practically the same length at the back and front. We love the textured disconnected ends and very light waves, actually just a slight bent, a hint on the wave.
49. Copper Wavy Lob with Highlights
With lavish copper tones on the textured top layers, this wavy lob projects elegance and style. Lightly layered tresses encourage the waves while the jagged ends add a modern edgy touch. The unmistakable choice for everyday wear and special occasions alike.
50. Toffee Ombre Bob
If low-key best describes your style, this is the look for you. The messier it gets the better it looks, so don’t be afraid to embrace your bed head waves. Plus, ombre is the perfect color technique because it allows you to embrace color without the need of frequent touch-ups.
So, have you found your ideal wavy bob here? Usually it takes a few tries to pick up something that is 100% yours. We wish you many gorgeous looks this season! Stay beautiful!
