A good blowout, the right styling cream, and a little root boost can give you that salon-fresh look every day. Check out these 25 wedge cuts to see how women are owning this chic, low-maintenance style!

This face-framing wedge bob with bangs is the perfect way to add a top-notch style to your look. This style suits both abundant and coarse hair. It features a bob that tapers or ‘stacks’ at the nape, with a side bang that blends well with the overall look. If your hair isn’t straight, you can achieve this style at home. Use a 2-inch round brush and a hairdryer for a blowout. Work in small sections for volume and to create a smooth, rounded texture.

#3: Short Hair with Pink and Violet Highlights
Are you looking for a fun style with added flair? Give the short hair with pink and violet highlights a try. Tell your stylist that you’re interested in inverted bobs. Also, let them know you want fashion tones or fun colors in your hair. Your stylist will first assess your hair. Then, they will personalize the look for you.

Give a new look to your dark brown hair by trying a layered bob hairstyle. This sleek haircut offers a classic look while still maintaining a traditional vibe. Choose a shade of brown that suits your skin tone. Keeping this in mind will improve your hair styling experience.
#5: Short Wedge Cut with Silver Blonde Highlights
A short wedge cut is a perky shape that is easy to maintain. Adding silver-blonde highlights can enhance the cut. The graduated back will lengthen the look of your neck, making you appear taller. Using a medium-round brush, you’ll love how simply the long layers blow out. If you have a narrow face shape, you should aim for more volume. This will make your features appear wider. If you have greying hair, you’ll appreciate the silver-blonde highlights. They mask your root regrowth and reduce the need for salon visits.
#6: Concave Bob with Caramel Highlights
A caramel-highlighted concave bob will give you a simple, stunning, rounded shape. Note how the layered cut meets the occipital bone to create an ideal profile. Blow-dry your hair with a medium brush to enhance the highlights. For a modern finish, keep the edges straight rather than curving them under.
#7: Wedge Bob Cut with Longer Layers
A wedge bob cut with long layers is a trendy and versatile hairstyle that combines the classic bob shape with modern layering techniques. This haircut for older women features a shorter back that gradually tapers to longer layers in the front, creating a sleek and chic look. The long layers add movement and texture to the hair, making it easy to style in various ways, from straight and polished to tousled and casual.
#8: Jaw-Length High Stacked Bob
If you want shorter hair or need more style, think about this high-stacked bob that stops at your jawline. This high-stacked bob suits round and square faces. It also helps manage aging and textured hair by reducing weight near the hairline. Use a flat iron for touch-ups during the week, especially on days you do not wash your hair.
#9: Wedge Classic Bob for White Hair
A bob haircut with a wedge style is an ageless look that suits white hair well. The wedge is a stylish cut featuring back layers that are short and gradually get longer towards the front. The mix of white hair and the lines in a wedge cut is trendy and easy to maintain. This makes it a great option for those who want a sleek, effortless look.
#10: Textured Wedge Bob Cut
Check out this textured wedge bob cut. This trendy style features a textured, stacked bob with highlights through the top of the style and a shadowbox sitting on the nape for a pop of color. The textured bob provides an illusion of light and fuller volume, and the color enhances visual interest and depth.
#11: Rounded Wedge Bob Haircut
The rounded wedge bob haircut is a classical pick among short haircuts, most recognized for its angled shape. This haircut still earns favor as it adds texture and volume to thin hair. It also reduces bulk from the neck area, resulting in a playful shape, mainly for those with round and square faces. If your hair lacks smoothness, it’s advised to use a flat iron for uniformity across your strands. This step will help achieve a cohesive look.

A short bob with feathered layers is a stylish way to add texture to a plain bob. The feathered bob is particularly stunning when accented with blonde highlights or a rich color with depth.

Use a flexible hairspray all over to highlight the texture of this haircut.

This two-toned wedge cut with short layers is a cool style. This style features an elegant wedged bob with an edgy shadowbox color placement.

You should return after 8 weeks for a trim and a color refresh to maintain this style’s great look.
#16: Inverted Balayage Bob
This stylish inverted balayage bob will bring shape and light to your hairstyle. You can achieve a fun and bright haircut by pairing balayage and a wedge haircut. Balayage gives your hair a soft, easy look, and a wedge haircut provides maximum shape and volume. To maintain this style at home, I suggest a blowout lasting 2-4 days. Use mousse for lift and a blow-dry brush. On low-maintenance days, simply spray in sea salt spray and let it air dry.

A short, sharp haircut and a sleek angled chin-length bob are stylish. The bob cut is suitable for older hair as it adds fullness and volume due to its short, sharp edges.

This wavy wedge cut works well for daily wear and is also perfect for any events or outings you might plan.
