The short bob hairstyles of today are not what they were yesterday. The trendy blonde is no longer one, solid tone, it’s transformed into a light ash blonde color with lowlights. Accordingly, a bob is no longer just a bob, it is a messy, graduated bob with air within the strands, and it looks quite fabulous!
#2: Tousled Blonde Bob
Keeping the ends of your cut uneven with shorter blunt edges and longer choppy strands makes for a cool cut full of personality. A perfect way to style it is in a laidback, tousled ‘do. Achieve by staying away from heat tools, while staying true to natural hair texture and using bedhead styling sprays.

#3: Rounded Bob with Straight Across Nape
The well-blended highlights and smoothly textured locks give a neat shape to this rounded bob. Slightly tapered layers point to the straight cut nape and create the typical bobbed fullness and volume the cut is known for.

#4: Short Wispy White Blonde Bob
Long peek-a-boo bangs and flyaways are the hallmarks of short bob hairstyles aiming for a contemporary and urban edge. The wispy white-blonde hair is a bit poofy on top, and the side pieces are razored and slightly longer around the jawline.

#5: Inverted Razored Bob for Straight Hair
An inverted bob is a perfect style for a woman seeking to create a new and flattering shape for her thick, straight hair. The stacked back and the tousled top look fantastic with a side part, and the dark roots underneath the caramel-chocolate color add to the depth and fullness of the style.
