A chin-length bob with bangs forms a modern, short to medium hairstyle. The fringe makes it versatile to most facial structures, flattering women of any age.
Stylist Kate Convery from Providence, RI, considers this style effortless if cut appropriately. “It gives instant style and edge if you’re looking for something chic and bold,” she points out.
This bob can look very youthful on most face shapes. It accentuates features of round faces and creates an illusion of an elongated shape. It even softens sharp lines on square or heart-shaped faces.
What a chin-length haircut lacks is a lot of different ways to style it. “Bobbed hair wouldn’t work if you like to pull your hair back or wear it up. The cut itself is the style alone,” states Convery.
A short bob with a fringe is ideal for ladies with thin, fine hair. Thicker locks need weight removal and added texture to prevent the “helmet” appearance. Convery notes, “I cut my short bobs with a straight razor to give them a softer, more effortless finish.”
Before settling for a specific haircut, go through a consultation with a professional. Make sure it fits your face shape, hair texture, density, and lifestyle.

#5: Straight A-Line Bob with Light Bangs
Consider the straight A-line bob. For fuller haircuts with fine textures, try a blunt A-line style with a slight gradient. Pairing the A-line bob with a bang can give you an edgier look, especially if you have a longer face shape.
#6: Soft Banged Blonde Bob
To style a soft banged bob properly, keep it full and straight. You could use hot rollers to add more volume. Additionally, use quality mousse when you blow-dry your hair. When you style your bob this way, all the different layers in the cut truly stand out.

A short, blonde cut with a side fringe can make your hair look fuller. A chin-length bob with side bangs often adds an illusion of thickness. The short, rounded shape allows light reflection, enhancing the hair’s health and fullness.
#11: French Contour Bob Makeover
If you want a sleek hair makeover, a chin-length French contour bob is perfect. This cut is about precision, with defined angles framing your face beautifully. It works best for those with straight to slightly wavy hair. It requires a lot of smoothness and shine to highlight the sleek lines of the cut. I recommend using a lightweight smoothing serum to tame any frizz and add shine when styling. Then, you can use your flat iron to create the perfect straight finish. The bangs can be styled bluntly or swept to the side, depending on your preference. Tell your stylist if you have any issues with styling, as they can be a big help!
#12: Silver Chin-Length Bob with Bottleneck Bangs
A silver chin-length bob with bottleneck bangs is an excellent haircut and style. Pick the most flattering length of your bob and just the right fullness of your bangs.

It will give your aging hair the style it needs to look chic.

A haircut every 6-8 weeks is needed to maintain your bangs and short length and make it easy to wear your hair. This length is also one of the best ways to highlight your lips and jawbone.
#16: Amazing Precision Cut Bob
Precision cuts look amazing when worn simply. I suggest keeping the part in the middle to give an even amount of hair on each side. And cutting to the jaw gives maximum impact. When asking for a full fringe, state clearly where you want it to sit above the eyebrow; it looks edgy, but keeping it longer also works well.
#17: Razor Cut Tousled Bob
If you wear your hair air-dried or tousled, then a razor cut style would work great for your routine. To maintain a polished look, the length can vary from a bob to a mid-length style. And it can send you back to the salon every 6 to 8 weeks.

Consider an adorable bob cut with a wispy fringe for a classic style with a twist. This is a great cut for women with thin or thick hair. An important thing to keep in mind is where the length hits. I like the hair to hit just below the chin to emphasize the neck and make it look longer.
#20: Mature Short Bob with Thin Bangs
If you have fine hair and want to make it appear fuller, I highly recommend a short, blunt bob. As a stylist, I tell clients that if your hair density concerns you, your best bet is to keep it all one length. The shorter you choose to go with your bob, the fuller it will appear.

A dark brown French bob with fringe is a classic look. Perfect for naturally brown or dark hair tones, dark brown hair can add richness to darker facial features and complement many skin tones.

Ask your stylist about color tone options to best suit your features and skin tone.
#22: White Blonde with Side Bangs for Women Over 60
The white blonde bob with side bangs is a spot-on hairstyle for women over 60. It’s an easy-to-maintain-and-wear haircut, but when it comes to the color, you must be prepared for a bit of golden hue popping out. If you want to cancel the warmth, remember to buy a purple shampoo like Maroccanoil Blonde Perfecting Shampoo and use it once every 5 to 7 washes.
#23: Graduated Bob with Long Bangs
Long bangs on a short, graduated bob will make eyes of any color pop. Rounded bob haircuts that graze the chin and jawline and with a fringe require more frequent trims than others.

Use a sea salt or texture spray after blow-drying to create texture and volume.
