The ear-length bob has been shaking up the world of fashion from the cabaret divas of the 1920s to the biggest Old Hollywood stars, and it’s still going strong as one of the very favorite hairstyles in 2022.

Its charm is undeniable as it is able to both soften the facial features and add a feminine note as well as to give a little bit of edge to your look.

Trendiest Ear-Length Bobs

1. Ear Length Bob with Bangs

If you prefer a softer, more romantic version of a 1920s bob, try this curly bob haircut.

Ideal for: Heart and oval-shaped faces.

How to style: If you plan on wearing your hair curly, keep that in mind when deciding on the hair length you’re going for. Otherwise, cut your bangs in a circular shape to give your face a softer look and use a flat iron to curl the rest.

2. Wavy Bob with a Braid

A braid adds a subtle, romantic note to any look, especially combined with some loose curls.

Ideal for: Square and heart-shaped faces.

How to style: Use a thinner curling iron to create these relaxed waves then comb your hair gently with a brush and spray it with some hairspray. Part your bob on the side, then take a piece of hair from the top and braid it, securing it with some bobby pins. Stretch the braid a little bit for a softer look.

3. Fine Layered Bob

For girls with fine hair, it is very important that the hair has some shape and volume and doesn’t fall flat. That can be achieved with a layered,  ear-length wavy bob.

Ideal for: Round and oval-shaped faces.

How to style: Part your hair on the side and add some hair mousse or texturizing spray to naturally create the relaxed beach waves while blow drying it. If the bangs aren’t curly enough, you can complete them by curling them with a flat iron.

4. Side-Swept Inverted Bob

A short messy haircut is great for women that are modern and edgy but don’t want to spend a lot of time styling their hair every morning.
