Still not persuaded to take the plunge? Continue reading for the most popular short angled bob haircuts below!
Chic Angled Bob for Fine Tresses
Achieve a glossy finish with a simple short angled bob cut, styled sleek or with soft, gentle waves. With ash-blonde highlights, this is an adorable hairstyle option for fine hair.
Hairstyles for Round Faces
This is an ideal short angled bob hairstyle for round faces. You’ll enjoy admiring your reflection with this beach-waved side part hair in a light ginger hue.
Cute Bangs Style
Are you the most charming person in your circle? Complement your personality with an adorable short angled bob featuring bangs. This is the perfect hairstyle for women with sleek and straight hair in a striking jet black hue.
Textured Blonde with an Undercut
This cut is classic and easy to maintain for the most part. We shaved her underneath to create a little of an undercut because her hairline has quite a few cowlicks. It was fun to assist with that issue and look super cute, even if she wanted to tie it back a bit.
My favorite aspect about it is that it’s intended to look carefree and effortless, so when she styles it in the morning, she doesn’t have to think about it again! We chose cooler tones for her highlights, which complement her skin tone.
This style works wonderfully with hair on the finer side. It gives a fuller appearance. It’s perfect for any lifestyle as this client is in the active military, living on base with two small kids.
Straight bobs with this hair type are easy to style and always look adorable. A few passes with the curling iron, and she’s ready to go!
The Rear Perspective
The ideal short angled bob hairstyle not only looks stunning from the front but also requires finesse in the rear view. This french haircut on naturally balayaged brown and blonde hair is a masterpiece by stylist Ryan Amacker. He demonstrates that a top-notch haircut and style begin “with a comprehensive consultation to ascertain what suits your lifestyle and face shape.”
Enhanced Volume
An enhanced volume cut, like a short angled bob, can add a lot of body. This full, round shape with added texture at the ends is perfect for medium to thick hair. You must remove some bulk to get a soft blend in thicker textures and create a stunning angled shape. Try point cutting, texturized, or razor work. A tight taper in the nape area gives a slight undercut for a defined silhouette.
Textured Bob with an Undercut
This is a textured, angled short bob featuring a peekaboo shaved undercut, even though it is not visible in the pic. I love its versatility: sophisticated yet edgy and contemporary. She’s showcasing her natural color, embracing her stunning grey hair that blends beautifully with the natural smokey blonde.
I would inquire if she’s active and how much longer she’d need to maintain to make the haircut more appropriate for her lifestyle. If she prefers to style her hair up in a ponytail, we may need to reconsider the length and keep it slightly longer. If that’s not the case, we can go even shorter.
Short hair only requires minimal upkeep besides using the right products. I recommend a quality product to be applied before drying it – like a mousse or a texturizing lotion – and a styling wax/paste to provide extra texture and fun. I believe “less is more.” It takes a couple of weeks to adjust to short hair, but trust me when I say it’s delightful.
Bold Red Tousled Angled Bob
Try a bold tousled angled bob for a fun twist on a timeless style. One of the best ways to elevate a classic look is to incorporate a burst of color or soft curls. Having lighter strands in your hair before adding the red will provide more depth to your red hue. Don’t forget to request your stylist to create a depositing conditioner to maintain your color’s intensity. Depositing conditioner is combined with a direct dye. For this red, you’ll want to use this treatment weekly.
Deep Chestnut Angled Inverted Bob
Studies show that “the big chop” is one of the most empowering haircuts! If you’re going to take the plunge and cut your hair short, you should consider a deep chestnut angled inverted bob. This ultra-flattering style looks fantastic on nearly anyone in search of a chic short cut.
Angled Bob: Long in the Front, Short in the Back
This angled bob hairstyle, featuring longer strands in the front and shorter ones in the back, is particularly flattering for many ladies with sleek dark brunette hair. With a delicate undercut, this chic haircut beautifully enhances your graceful and queen-like features. For those seeking versatility, an angled lob is an excellent option!
Styled for Black Hair
This is a shorter, angled bob with texture, and it’s extremely stylish. It gives you attitude and confidence. Not many people can pull this look off. Something I like about it is that it calls attention when you walk on the street. It showcases the skill of the hairstylist and their technique. I’ve garnered a lot of business off of this haircut and style. What inspired me for this color look is fall and winter. The dark tones, midnight blues, and purple haze evoke this season.
It all depends on their face shape. If you have a shorter neck, accentuate it by showing off the back of the neck and stack it up in the back. If you have a long neck, consider more of an A-line bob.
What I find fascinating about these haircuts is that it depends on the client’s personality, and everything is tailored and geared toward what best suits them. Maintenance-wise, you look at about 8-9 weeks for the touch-up of the haircut.
At-home maintenance is simple, and you often have to paddle brush it dry and flat iron it. When one of my clients gets a new look like this, part of the service teaches them how to style it at home.
Defined and Lively
It’s a blunt bob with shattered ends. I love this look because it is effortless yet so chic! This is great for wavy or straighter hair; you can even turn it into a long angled bob. This haircut needs more maintenance by cutting every two to three months.
Layered Short Angled Bob
This bob is a chic, high-fashion style — a hairstyle where you can wear casual clothes to elegant wear and still appear fashionable and trendy. I wanted to choose a shade that conveyed something rich and refined. I also aimed to shape this bob so that when she prepares with a hectic schedule, it just falls into place, establishing an effortless way of being on the go while remaining sophisticated.
You need to have the right bone structure to carry off a high-elevated bob. To achieve this eye-catching look, it is advisable to have thick to coarse hair. It will enhance the bob’s definition.
I always prefer to use a very lightweight anti-frizz cream to smooth any flyaways. It tends to provide the elevated bob with a sleeker appearance, adding elegance for individuals with busy schedules who lack the time to dedicate to their hair each day.
Crimson Angled Bob Hairstyle
Start with a chic bob, slightly angled, that introduces a contemporary textured style, while retaining classic a-line attributes. The focus is on softening this cut’s edges for a refined border and light internal layers of deep-cut texture. Try pairing this style with a copper crimson red, and you’ll undoubtedly draw attention.
Stylish Short Bob with Highlights
A chic haircut with highlights will suit you beautifully, whether your hair is fine or thick. This versatile hairstyle offers ease of management! The cropped back in this style ensures a low-maintenance look. The highlights are applied thoughtfully for a hairstyle that’s rich in depth and dimension. A high-quality smoothing cream would be the perfect styling product to maintain your hair’s shine and sleekness.
Textured and Short
My client describes this look the best as a trendy bob. We wanted something that, when styled and curled, is fun and lively, but also, when blown out straight, it’s sleek and still has a wonderful shape.
The adaptability of this look is my favorite aspect of it. For styling, I used Color Wow’s Carb Infused Dream Cocktail for added volume, curled in alternating directions with my Croc Hybrid Iron, and then sprayed Cult-Favorite Hairspray by Color Wow.
Usually, when clients consider a shorter look, I remind them that short hair is sometimes more effort than long hair. Most times, in addition to analyzing face shape, the actual length is determined by if they want to put it up.
Not all clients want it so short that ponytails can be styled, so daily maintenance usually needs to be done. That’s when I recommend a product according to their hair type. Whether that be something for smoothing frizzy hair or enhancing the volume, that depends on each client, but no matter what, every client needs something with a heat protectant.
I always talk to my clients about how to apply products and then how to style because I want them to feel at ease and self-assured, re-creating their looks at home.
For Luxuriant Hair
Your charisma shines the brightest if complemented with this beautiful hairstyle for luxuriant hair. The textured, chin-length angled bob cut is the ultimate choice that matches your boldness. Make it extra sleek with the soft grey balayage.
Styles for Curly Hair
This hairstyle features a short to medium angled bob designed for tight curls. What I love most about this look is how it highlights her natural curls. It also proves that girls with curly hair can rock a stunning short, curly angled bob.
If you want to enhance your natural curls, talk about the best products to use. Consider Amika’s Plus Size, which helps maintain the curl’s shape and softness without that uncomfortable crunch that typical mousses create.
Stylish Very Short Bob with Bangs
This stunning angled bob with bangs is classic, fashionable, and effortless to style.
You should blow-dry with a paddle brush to wear it sleekly and to manage the ends that may flip the wrong way. You can also air dry or use a diffuser to enhance the natural texture. Depending on the length, this angled haircut can be flattering for any facial shape. It’s certainly ideal for someone with a busy lifestyle who desires a low-maintenance cut yet still looks chic.
Stylish Angled Bob with Bangs and Textured Layers
This short angled bob hairstyle is playful and stylish. Her natural texture complements this cut beautifully. This type of effortlessly chic look is very on-trend right now. It’s perfect for women who desire to appear polished and fashionable while spending minimal time in the morning. This cut features an edgy asymmetrical fringe to enhance a more whimsical appearance. The nape line is soft and textured, adding a touch of femininity.
A-Line Asymmetrical Bob Cut
An a-line asymmetrical bob cut always delivers a striking visual impact with its bold shape. In my experience, this style is a consistent favorite among clients. This bob cut allows you to enjoy your hair’s volume while staying stylishly short and easy to maintain. You’ll want this bob haircut with shorter layers at the top. These layers should gradually lengthen as they reach your face. The extended layers framing your face create an elegant drape. This aesthetic enhances the overall appeal of the bob haircut.
Embrace Side Swept Bangs
Looking for a bold hairstyle to match your vibrant personality? This is your answer. It’s one of the most eye-catching short angled bob haircuts out there, made even more dynamic with added texture and volume in the side-swept bangs. The luscious, blonde balayage will definitely make you want to rock this look right away.
Hairstyles for Fine Hair
This look, in my opinion, strikes the ideal balance between glamorous and chic. This cut is one of my go-to hairstyles for women with fine hair. My favorite aspect ab
Try out this cut; it is incredibly versatile. You can wear it sleek or introduce soft waves for a more playful appearance.
If my client is contemplating this haircut, I pose these questions. What does your daily routine look like? How much time are you willing to spend on your hair each day? What styling products and tools are available to you at home?
This cut is quite straightforward to style, but I always inform my client that they will need to blow dry their hair with a round brush to achieve the sleek appearance shown here, then finish with a straightener to refine the sides and create that polished look.
The ideal face shape for this cut is round as it will elongate your face, but I truly appreciate this cut on most face shapes since you can personalize how long and angled the front will complement each face shape.
I consider this haircut to have a medium maintenance level since you will need it trimmed every 5-8 weeks to maintain the shape.
Generally, all hair types can successfully wear this. It really comes down to using the right styling products to make the styling process smoother. My absolute favorite products are from Unite Hair. For this look, I utilized a product called Unite Lazer Straight and Unite Boosta Volumizing Spray.
Slightly Curled Blonde Bob
This gently waved blonde bob brings a classic cut into the contemporary scene. Use a large barrel curling iron or flat iron if you can to create a soft bend. Ask your stylist for useful tips to style your specific hair type.
Textured Short Angled Bob
I love this textured and angled bob; it is sleek and versatile. This is one of my favorite cuts. It has the edginess that you can smoothly wear it to work yet still give it some beach waves and have some fun.
The color is very dimensional, although it gives the appearance of having a neutral brown base unless you are in the natural light. There’s a mixture of four browns, from mocha to auburn. Then we have her crown and glory section, as I call it, where it is heavily highlighted with super fine pieces and balayaged throughout to still give the gentle appearance of her natural base color as it grows out. So, you have the best of both worlds.
Know that you can have fun with it! It does require some work, so be ready to style it. Whether it may be a round brush blowout, flat iron, or a wand, use products that help with styling, protect from heat, and provide a little hold.
A good leave-in conditioner prep spray to help return the hair to its normal pH, a styling mousse, a blow-out balm, a shine/smoothing serum, and a heat protectant are essential. Short angled bob cuts like this one have so many different styled ways – don’t forget to be sassy!

Delicate Purple Angled Bob
Try adding a gentle purple tint to an angled bob haircut. The shape of this haircut provides a sharp edge that easily falls into place. A purple hue adds depth and lightness to the overall dark color. I suggest using color-enhancing shampoo to maintain the vibrant color.
Golden Balayage
This is a clean, classic shape with subtle wavy movement and caramel tones – I describe this look as elegant softness. What I love about this look is that the overall shape is visually appealing. The back is short and stacked while maintaining the length around the face for a soft, feminine, versatile look. I added warm highlights to her rich caramel base to create beautiful depth and dimension for a stunning style.
This timeless style has endless variations that can be tailored to each client’s specific needs and desires. Being honest and transparent with your stylist about how much time you are willing to invest in styling will help him/her recommend suitable products for your hair and provide styling tips.

Shiny Angled Short Bob

This hairstyle is timeless and will always remain in vogue. It’s perfect if you desire length around your face while maintaining some volume without going too short. Be ready to style it daily.
