Here is a popular variation of the classic bob. This may be among the most popular low-maintenance styles! Personalizing your bob with a signature fringe will definitely make a statement. Styling is key to making this look your own.
#10: The Classic Bob
The classic bob with bangs style is a haircut that has been around for decades. It’s perfect for ladies with short, straight hair who want a timeless look. Ask for your haircut to frame the face. The bangs will add an element of youthfulness. This style is easy to maintain and can be customized to fit any face shape. As an expert in hair, I recommend styling this cut with a smoothing serum to enhance shine and combat frizz. Blow-drying with a round brush will help achieve a sleek look and add volume.
#11: The Choppiest Bangs on a Bob
Thick short hair can be tricky to style, but adding the choppiest bangs on a bob can give it a whole new look. This style works best for women who want to soften their facial features or draw attention to their eyes. When cutting the bangs, be aware to keep them thick and choppy, but ensure they don’t overwhelm the rest of the cut. To style, use a small amount of texturizing spray and scrunch your hair to give it some volume and movement. Use a hair straightener to create some waves, but don’t overdo it, or you’ll lose the choppiness.
#12: Texturized Graduated Bob
This is a graduated bob with bangs and a lot of texture. My favorite part of this cut is that it requires minimal styling, and it’s perfect for women with busy lifestyles. It’s a very low-maintenance haircut. Bob hairstyles with bangs are great for ladies that are looking for a change but don’t want a ton of maintenance.
#13: Lovely Shoulder-Length Bob

It gives you volume, appears thicker, and requires much less styling. If you have a busy lifestyle and are wanting to make the big chop, go with this sassy hairstyle.
#15: Modern Shaggy Bob with Curtain Bangs
A shaggy bob with curtain bangs is very unique and is on-trend. Bobs can be flattering on all women when customized to your individual features. Curtain bangs frame your face beautifully for an instant lift. A chin-length cut grows out quickly and will need a cut every 4-6 weeks.
#16: Pretty Straight Bob
If you want a classic bob, ask for the side lengths to sit from the lip to the chin area. This is the impact area and gives a great shape. If you want a little body, I advise to have a few surface layers as this will add width. Try rounded bangs to soften and stop the shape from looking too flat. Bobs look great nice and glossy so finish with a shine spray.
#17: Sleek Neck-Length Bob with See-Through Bangs
Try a neck-length bob with see-through bangs for a chic look. The medium length is suitable for all different hair types. The feather-light bangs add a nice frame around the face. Use a shine spray at the ends for a polished finish.

#23: Classic French Bob
This is a modern french bob. It has a pretty solid perimeter that is gently broken up with point cutting. The two best things about this cut are how low maintenance it is and that her bangs are customized to suit her style.
This style looks best blow-dried smooth with a slight bend on the ends. It’s ideal for straight hair or hair with a slight wave in it. It works with almost every face shape. However, the rounder the face shape the more length should be left toward the face. Bangs are customized per the individual.

#26: Pink Lob Dreams
I would describe this look as a textured lob with a full fringe. I suggest having patience in the lifting process and understanding the maintenance needed for the color, especially for the bangs. Proper home care products are needed as well! I styled her hair using Redken Velvet Gelatin 07, Redken Satinwear 04, and Redken Iron Shape 11, then finished with Sebastian Shaper Plus.
#27: Mod Middle Part Bob with Curtain Bangs
This mod lob with curtain bangs is a fun and edgy way to wear a shorter style! It’s perfect for women who are thinking about getting a fringe but don’t want to commit. My advice is to stay on the longer side and slowly take the bangs shorter as you get used to having something around your face. They do have to be styled to give them this look, but they lay nicely for those lazy days too!
#28: Sleek Bob for Dark Skin
We created this sleek, modern bob. I love how the bangs draw attention to her eyes and bone structure while the color warms her skin tone. Something to keep in mind for this style is that it will require some styling in the morning with a blow dryer and/or a flat iron. The amount of styling depends on the client’s natural texture, but this may not be for your “wash and go” personality. In terms of face shape, this is not suited for women with shorter faces (round or square).
#29: Sweet Face-Framing Long Bob with Bangs
This look is a textured, long bob style with bangs that are face-framing and it’s very versatile. This style is recommended for women who have a straight or wavy natural hair type, or a client who wants to elongate their face shape. This style can be straightened, curled, or left with a natural hair texture for a wash-and-go routine.
#30: Wavy Bob on Blonde Hair
I describe this wavy bob cut with bangs as effortless beauty. My favorite thing about it is that it is simple and carefree! You can style it to look polished and finished or style it to look messy and effortless. This look is super low-maintenance, with next to no product usage needed. Use a good shampoo and conditioner paired with a leave-in and a touch of sea salt spray; this look will be complete.
#31: Beautiful Blunt Lob With Shattered Fringe
This is a blunt lob with a soft, shattered fringe. I love the contrast of soft and whispy next to blunt and angular. For moveable but defined texture, use R+Co Death Valley at the roots and throughout the ends. To give the bangs separation, use Kevin Murphy’s Bedroom.Hair, pinching tiny sections of her fringe while spraying them in place. A bob haircut with bangs like this is great for heart-shaped, oval faces and straight or slightly wavy hair. This look can be high maintenance, so this look is best for a woman who doesn’t mind coming in every 2 to 3 weeks for a bang trim.
#32: Sweet Short Bob with Bangs
Consider a short bob with straight bangs and hair that gets slightly longer toward the sides and front. Style the bangs by combing them straight forward until fully dry. Either air dry (if you have slightly wavy hair) or hand dry the rest of the hair with your hands and finish with a brush for smoothness.
#33: Chic Blonde Bob with Straight Bangs
A blonde bob cut with straight bangs can easily be pulled off in any office or event! A great smoothing cream won’t weigh your hair down but helps to smooth and soften it with a light hold. Try Pravana’s Model Behavior.

This look needs no introduction! Platinum blonde, hue, bold bangs, and layers give it an edgy look that can be tamed down for day wear and played up for the evening.
#35: Blonde Swing Bob
This swing bob is a great way to play up naturally straight hair. Straight locks that are medium to thick wear this swing bob best, while heart, round and square face shapes look fabulous sporting this style.

Grab some in assorted colors to create a rainbow, or just one color to wear on the weekends if work doesn’t allow fashion colors.

A bold outline framing your face can bring out all your best features. Heart face shapes wear this look best, while hair that can be straightened out and is medium to thick in texture is perfect for creating this ultra-straight style.
#37: Easy Beachy Waves
Soft, beach-inspired waves paired with beautiful layers and bangs are a great easy look. Heart, round and oval face shapes wear this soft wave beautifully. Hair that is fine to medium in thickness and naturally wavy or straight works well to recreate this look. A great curling iron is the key to achieving beautiful curls that last. Look at a few at Ulta or your local beauty supply, and then check online reviews to find the right iron for you.

Simple and classic, this wavy bob with soft bangs gives you class and sophistication at any age. For styling, use Pravana’s Model Behavior.

It’s a chic a-line bob with bangs. It’s clean and classic. I love that it has a hidden secret and that it can be worn smooth or with some texture so it’s very versatile.

This stylish bob has such a beautiful shape with light layers and a funky fringe. The bright, copperish-orange color gives this classic shape a little extra pizazz.
