When it comes to short hairstyles, a chin-length bob with bangs is unquestionably the one that celebrities have loved over the years. If your hair is short and you are looking for some inspiring images, you are in the right place! Besides, if you still have longer locks and think of cutting them short, here we’ve sorted out some of the hottest bob looks in 2023.

Short Bob with Bangs

A bob cut and bangs can make an excellent combo. Check the following examples, and you’ll see it’s a worthy option for your next cut.

1. Copper Layered Bob with Bangs

A chin length bob is an ideal way to showcase sharp angular features like these striking cheekbones. For ladies with thin hair, this choppy cut is a great way to add texture and fullness without curls. The thin highlights, also known as babylights, add a glimmer of color throughout the style as opposed to the heavy, streaky highlights of the past.

2. Wispy Bob with Light Layers and Bangs

A bob with lightweight, wispy layers is great for anyone with thicker hair who doesn’t want to feel weighed down. Making the shortest layers at the back of the crown the same length as your bangs up front also helps to create an overall sense of balance.

3. Inverted Bob with Ombrè

An easy way to add length around the face is with an inverted bob that moves from the back of the neck to the shoulder because it draws the eye down. Soften the severe cut with a mix of subtle blonde ombrè highlights that brighten dark chocolate locks. This stunning look is polished enough for work and fairly sexy for the weekend.

4. Medium Messy Waves with Side Bangs

As Beyoncé says, “I woke up like this.” Bed head is the ultimate sexy texture for a blunt or textured shoulder length cut. Wispy side bangs blend seamlessly into the messy waves for a carefree look that invokes the mysterious yet approachable nature of the “girl next door.” This hairstyle works best with fine and medium thick hair textures.

5. Cute Tousled Short Brown Bob

If you’re worried about a jaw length cut feeling like no hair at all, try a bob with bangs that’s got thickness and volume up at the crown. Skip piecey layers and lightweight bangs and go all in with full front bangs and an almost bowl-like shape — think Beatles, but elevated and ready-to-wear.

6. Blunt and Layered Caramel Brown Bob

A bob cut that’s chopped straight across at the bottom is unique and looks best when worn straight to emphasize the sharp line. Up top, go for a deep middle part right through the bangs to mirror the blunt bottom, and let caramel highlights add a little life to an otherwise linear finish.

7. Blunt Bob with Side Bangs

A super chic, no-nonsense straight bob works best when hair is just above the shoulder length and cut at an angle towards the face. Rather than opting for front-facing bangs, try out their cooler older sister: a long, layered side bang. Blow dry your bang to sweep away from your frame towards the back of the head for a little contrast.

8. Chin-Length Choppy Ash Blonde Bob

To make a bob with side bangs feel grungier, ask your stylist for razor-cut choppy layers scattered haphazardly throughout the head. Don’t stop when it comes to the bangs: have them equally unkempt. This messy approach works best with chin-length hairstyles, as too much length can weigh it down.

10. Short Textured Bob with Choppy Bangs

Nothing enhances a layered haircut quite like a contrasting color, and this lavender shade really makes a statement against a darker base. Go for a chin length with super choppy layers, and comb a shine serum through strands for a piecey wet-look finish that’s edgy and sleek.

11. Classy A-Line Bob with Fringy Edges

When bob haircuts with bangs feel particularly perfected and coiffed, they can give off serious Anna Wintour, magazine-editor, boss babe vibes. Talk about a power cut! For this take, ask your hair stylist to keep it A-line, then add in a frame around the face and straight across bangs that hit right at the brows.

12. Wavy Sun-Kissed Bob with Bangs

When you have curly or wavy hair texture, a layered bob can really enhance your hair’s natural body. If you’ve got stick-straight strands and want to create mermaid hair of your own, wrap large sections loosely around a 1”curling wand, and spritz the finished look with some sea salt spray for an added beachy finish.

13. Sliced Blonde Bob with Short Bangs

14. Shaggy Brown Layers

Cute with a side of sass, this is what happens when a bob meets a shag. Super modern and super playful, this cut would work especially well with naturally wavy hair: blow out the bangs, scrunch in some product, then go forth and be sexy.

16. Short Messy Brunette Bob with Bangs

Who says very short hair can’t be styled? While you might not want to curl a crazy short bob, using a texturizing paste to add some wave can generate volume and movement for a simple, short cut. Take some product and use your fingers to work it through the hair, twisting and scrunching to achieve a carefree, lived-in look.

18. Choppy Rounded Blonde Bob

If an angular cut isn’t your thing, ask your stylist to use face-framing layers to create what’s referred to as a rounded bob. The overall shape should be somewhat circular, with the layers slightly choppy to avoid appearing blocky. Go for straight-across front bangs to break things up a bit.

19. White Bob with Bangs and Pastel Pink Ends

Since bob hairstyles with bangs are so classy, they allow for tons of freedom to play around with statement colors. This take features an almost-white platinum blonde up top, and dip-dyed tips gone pastel pink. When the pink fades out, feel free to keep dying the bottom fun new shades, as the light blonde will take to dyes with ease.

20. Jaw-Length Choppy Chocolate Brown Bob

Why contour your jawline when your haircut can do it for you? This shape features a super-sharp length that hits right at the jaw, coupled with some softer, shorter layers and bangs up top. The combination results in a look that’s fierce yet flirty; plus, your jawline guideline will help you notice when it’s time for a trim.

21. Side-Parted Jagged Brown Bob

A deep side part is essential for achieving those dramatic, in-your-face side-swept bangs. If you notice at first that you can’t make the bangs stay in place, train them over time by using a bobby pin to help them maintain their swoop. Pair the bangs with messy long layers and finish with some dry shampoo for a grungy touch.
