Short Bob Hairstyles

Short bob hairstyles can be very elegant, sophisticated and fashionable. Depending on your hair type and color, you can choose from among several trendy bobs that complement your facial features very well. A short bob hairstyle works best for straight hair. Here are a few bob hairstyles that you may want to try. But be sure to ask your stylist of a certain hairstyle that complements the shape of your face well and start from there.

Best for light-colored and straight hair

A bob that flows down the neck and curves inward with bangs that reach the eyebrows would look great in women with fine straight hair. The sides should frame your face by keeping them level with your jaw.

Another famous bob is one sported by many models. It is unequally parted to one side and drops in shags framing your head and face.

Then you can also try the Paris Hilton bob – parted on the side, cut unevenly at the back and on the sides. This looks very elegant if you know how to wear it.

Best for straight dark-colored hair

A bob that exposes the nape, curves inward framing the head and face and is parted either on the middle or on the side is perfect for straight dark-colored hair. A variant of this short hairstyle would be one that is slightly longer flowing down just above the shoulder blades.

Another one is the one sported by Selma Blair. The hair is cropped at the back and sides framing the head. The front which is parted on one side is also cut unevenly dropping in shags to the side.

Best for wavy/curly hair

A bob hairstyle also looks great in women with wavy hair. The hair is cut short in uneven lengths just below the ears, allowing the hair to wave naturally. There is no definite partition on the front and the curls and waves are allowed to fall in disheveled charm. For best results, use mousse to create this elegantly casual look.
