Edgy and super sassy, a micro bob is an ultra-short form of the classic haircut. It sits between the cheekbone and chin length and is one of the best hairstyles to accentuate your facial bone structure. Easily adaptable, a micro bob looks great both straight and wavy. Style it messy and tousled, or tuck the sides behind your ears for a slicked-back look – your hair will look chic anyway.
In case you are looking for some fresh ideas for a hair change or thinking of the simplest way to grow out your pixie, here are some fresh ideas collated for you.

A foolproof combination of tousled choppy layers and a short classic fringe instantly gives us that hot model-on-duty vibe. Great for oblong faces, this hairstyle visually creates a softer and rounder shape.

3. Wavy Micro Bob
Blonde cheekbone-grazing locks bring all attention to your eyes. If you are concerned about over-curling your short hair, put your straightening iron on minimum heat and run through your hair super quickly, leaving the ends straight.

4. Ear Length Bob with a Deep Side Part
Side parts are back in! If you’ve been pining to flip all your hair on one side, it’s the right time to do so. A short bob with a deep side part and an ear tuck looks particularly cute and feminine.

5. Short Bob and Baby Bangs
Try this modern version of Meg Ryan’s haircut: choppy layers, chin length and textured fringe is the recipe. Instead of curls, give your hair a soft bend with a wide barren wand or a straightening iron. Make sure you don’t hold it for too long for a softer finish.
