Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Wavy Short Bob

This is pretty much as short as you can go and still call the haircut a bob of any kind. The mix of waves and curls make an excellent addition to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s look.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Bob

Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s bob is one that comes straight out of the textbook, adding some very soft and classic details like the long fringe and the inward curling hair tips.

I’m also a fan of the subtle red highlights on her dark brown hair.

Roxane Mesquida’s Diamond Bob

Roxane Mesquida’s been pulling off this kind of effortlessly wavy style any chance she gets and I personally love her for it. The haircut has it all; it shows off her features, adds a little drama with the asymmetry, and even shows off some great layering. Simply perfect!

Rihanna’s Angular Bob

Is there anything Riri can’t pull off? I don’t think so. She looks stunning with straightened hair and her asymmetrical bob.
