Bob haircut has been around for decades, and it never seems to go out of style. This is likely due to the fact that this hairstyle looks great on women of any age, with any hair texture and hair color. It’s a versatile, classy and convenient hairdo that can still be updated for a modern look. Some bob haircuts can be styled in a variety of ways including updos, meaning it’s a popular choice for women who want shorter hair but desire to hold on to their femininity.

Actress and director Angela Bassett sported a very classic bob haircut at a recent event. Her style is reminiscent of the original 1920s chin-length bob.

#4: Classic Bob Hairstyle With Ombre
Dawn Olivieri showed off her ombre bob at the height of its popularity a few years back. However, this is a look that is still considered trendy and can be worn well on fair-skinned gals with medium textured hair. To get the look, ask your hair stylist to darken the roots of your hair down to the ears, and then use 1-2 lighter colors so the lightest color grazes the shoulders. The ombre hair color will frame your face and give you an edgy but sweet look.
