Even if you have been sticking to this cut for years, view them with ideas for a seasonal update in mind.

Best Bob Haircuts for Fine Hair

If you have fine hair, you must always learn new tips and tricks how to make it look thicker. Bob haircut is a marvellous solution for thin locks. You just need to choose the right type of this cut. Draw attention to texture and edges, make it messy or wavy, ask your hairstylist for highlights, and you will never have the bad hair day again. All those tricks in our article!

1. Straight Angled Wheat Blonde Bob

Sometimes we just want something simple like straight locks that are minimal and smooth. Think Jennifer Aniston’s classic blonde Friends cut, but shorter.

2. Bright Blonde Bob Cut

Fine hair is marked by strands that have a lack of body. One of the best tricks to make short bobs look fuller is with the usage of highlights and low lights. The former is usually two shades lighter than your natural hair, while the latter is two shades darker. The mix of colors creates the illusion of depth.

3. Layered Short Hairstyle

Layers are a great way to create volume in fine hair. This bob haircut shows how the shorter pieces work together with the longer pieces to retain the length while adding the bounce. To create this textured look with your own similar cut, use a quick spray of dry shampoo at the roots of clean hair.

4. Side-Parted Chin-Length Bob for Fine Hair

Take a look at this cute chin-length bob! The organized messiness up top combined with a small side part makes for a modern and sophisticated cut. A few well-placed dark blonde highlights complete the look.

Cool-toned blonde shades are the most on trend ones this year because they are edgy yet soft at the same time. Plus, they flatter many different complexions from pale to deep.

7. Poker Straight Silver Bob with Root Fade

A textured bob is low maintenance and always classy. A root fade keeps the look young while straight locks make it a polished do for work. Bonus: when running errands on the weekend, a messy bun is super sexy.

11. Shoulder-Length Bob with Layers

Bob haircuts for fine hair aim to create more volume for anyone with thin hair. Layered medium-length cuts are easily styled straight and in waves. Another great benefit? Shoulder-length hair flatters nearly all face shapes.

21. Bob Cut with Blunt Ends

Short hairstyles for fine hair can make you look very polished and put together, especially with locks that are cut at one length. Because your hair is on the thinner side, blunt ends will provide just the right amount of density and structure for a fairly full, not poofy look.

25. Asymmetrical Bob for Straight Fine Hair

29. Stacked Bob with Painted On Highlights

Combine the extra volume of stacked layers with seamless highlights for a natural, just-woke-up vibe. If your hair is fine and straight, it will certainly look its best with a blow out, but you can also experiment with more casual air-dried looks.

At first glance, this looks like a simple cut and color, but when you look closer, all the clever details of this beautiful bob become evident. The mix of chunky golden and ash blonde highlights creates definition, while the layers give the ends of the hair a nice kick.

31. Concave Short Bob for Fine Hair

There are so many different cut options when it comes to bob hairstyles for fine hair. If the classic bob cut isn’t the one for you, give the concave shape a go. Cut long side bangs to elongate the style and create a contrast to the shorter back for a more dynamic modern effect.

32. Shaggy Blonde Bob with Root Fade

Forget the idea that your roots have to match the rest of your strands. Contrasting your part line with your ends is one way to give the illusion that your mane is thicker than it actually is. Her dark brown roots and bleached locks make it seem like she has a ton of hair.

33. Box Bob Haircut for Fine Hair

Structured fine hair cuts don’t always look static. If the boxy hairstyle works best for your texture, add in some highlights and lowlights for the much-needed movement in your hair.

37. Chin Length Bob with Face-Framing Layers

Fine hair appears to have more volume when it’s short. Without the length weighing it down, it’s free to bounce, giving off the appearance of thicker tresses. This bob does exactly that—with a length that falls around the chin, you’ll be able to style it big and free!

38. Stacked Short Haircut

If you’re an active person, it can be difficult to find the time to style your hair, which is why short hairstyles are so effective for athletes. This look is easy enough to pull back with a headband when you’ve got to run, figuratively and literally speaking, and short enough to style in the morning without losing any sleep.

39. Layered Straight Bob for Thin Hair

The collar length is a great choice when it comes to bob haircuts for fine hair. A small stack in the back gives a little boost of volume. The layers keep the straight strands from falling flat while allowing them to maintain their sleek and polished look. Team the hairdo with chunky bright highlights to bring balance to the dark blonde base.

Bob haircuts for fine hair can have both layers and accurate edges. The bottom of this bob gives a geometric shape to the style which is not too strict thanks to the wispy layers. Yes, modern bob styles are quite contradictory, and we love that!

41. Blonde Bob with a Shadow Root

Bobbed hair is versatile, and this feature makes it a great canvas for a range of colors and textures. If you are a blonde, give your hair some edge with shadow roots, loose waves and wispy layers. The style is confident and sexy and is dripping with cool-girl vibes.

42. Brown Bob with Babylights

Bob haircuts are simple styles for women who want a polished appearance that doesn’t require much upkeep. If you work in a traditional work environment, opt for an organic color and a few face-framing layers.

43. Angled Cut for Thin Hair

Blunt cuts are hard to pull off with thin hair because they don’t provide much volume. Angled chin-length bobs create the illusion of fullness throughout the back, but still have clean straight lines. By keeping your bob longer in the front, you can frame and soften your face.

44. Inverted Bob Cut for Fine Hair

Add some interest to your straight bob with an inverted cut. Shorter at the back and longer at the front, the sharp angles will give your hair a bit more volume and dynamics. Plus, a slight bend and curl at the ends create a feminine touch. This bob proves that short hair can be just as sexy as long locks.

45. Wavy Asymmetrical Long Bob

Round faces look best with bangs swept to a side as they draw attention up and make the visage appear lengthened. Let your side swept fringe blend with the longer side of your cut for added visual elongation. Sea salt spray will give your strands a thick, beachy texture.

46. Icy Blonde Bob with Waves

Medium bobs are classic and they look good with any face shape. Make yours unique with a chic platinum shade. Waves mixed throughout amplify the contemporary allure of the shoulder-length ‘do, while also complementing its romantic charm. It’s a look that proves bright blonde hair is gorgeous.

47. Bob with Side Swept Bangs

Creating choppy layers is key if you want to add some texture and movement to your hair without excessive teasing and curling. It looks sleek and makes styling your hair a cinch, especially if you have straight hair. Just let the layers do the work. All you’ll need is to apply a bit of product to your hair and tousle a little before you head out the door.

48. Jaw-Length Layered Bob

Bob haircuts for thin hair are ideal when your tresses have been damaged from bleach. While platinum blonde is gorgeous, it is tough on your strands. Your hair is easier to manage when you have a short and simple cut. You need to moisturize and nourish it with serums and oils to prevent breakage and promote healthy luster like in the picture below.

49. Short Layered Bob Cut

Short bobs that are stacked deliver instant volume and sass. They are universally flattering and sophisticated making them a wonderful choice for older women or girls on the go. The shorter the hair, the less fuss you have in the morning when you are trying to get out of the door. Opt for some highlights to really make the layers pop.

50. Razored Cut for Fine Hair

The razor cutting technique works well with short cuts, because it makes the hairstyle airier, which in turn adds movement to the crop. Choose razored ends for an inverted bob and enjoy the crisp feel and flowiness of your coif. Fine hair works well with this type of haircut because it is already so feathery and light on its own.

51. Jagged Short Bob for Thin Hair

A chin-length bob always makes a statement thanks to its unequivocally bold style. You can spruce up your bob hairstyle for fine hair with light layers and a touch of beach waves. The boost of texture fills out the crop, giving it beautiful body. The messy, undone cut makes it perfect for wash-n-go’s too.

52. Geometric Bob Cut for Thin Hair

The beauty of fine strands is that they lay nicely and stay sleek. Volume isn’t always desirable, depending on the look you’re going for. The asymmetrical bob is a good example of how less is more. It allows the clean lines and sharp angles of the cut to take center stage.

53. Graduated Bob Cut

Razors aren’t just for cutting men’s styles. Ask your stylist for a chin length bob with a razor for a unique frayed and undone cut. Having a graduated length will also help amp up your fine hair.

Brighten short bobs for thin hair with piecey highlights. They break up the flatness of the monotone base color, and give an ethereal quality to your hairstyle. Especially, when platinum blonde streaks have an ashen blonde as their backdrop.

55. Messy Straight Bob for Thin Hair

One-length bobs can have a very clean and sophisticated distinction. Adding in something as simple as razor-cut ends and a few layers around the base of your haircut can give it a serious dose of edge. While having a neat and tidy haircut can work for some, the ease of a messy hairstyle works just as well for others.

56. Extra Angular Highlighted Bob

There are many ways to boost volume of fine hair. One of them is drawing attention to the flawless edges with a sharper angle of the front tresses. Distinct highlights, long side bangs and a smoothed out finish make the look even more dramatic.

57. Stacked Bob with Soft Lines

A stacked bob haircut is ideal for added volume with fine hair. You won’t achieve accurate geometric shapes like with stacked thick hair, but the soft and sliding lines of the bob in the photo are no less charming. Light teasing at the roots enhances volume and adds an aerial note to the hairstyle.

58. Wispy Texturized Bob

A big plus of fine hair is an opportunity to create many ethereal wispy styles with the feel of air in your hair. This stunning bob is one of the best examples. Cut blunt but styled disconnectedly, it still maintains a perfect shape and features fabulous texture, as well as great coloristic solution.

And this bob from Reese Witherspoon is finely chopped and angled at front, although the loose waves soften and blur the angles leaving just a pair of elongated face-framing curls.

60. Razored Bob With Thick Long Side Bangs

Camilla Belle is irresistibly beautiful indeed, and it’s all about her mid-length bob razored at the ends to show off those fabulous flicks. Thick side bangs can frame Camilla’s face for a sexy peek-a-boo like in the photo or be centre-parted to dress up a symmetric style.

61. Cropped Edgy Short Bob Hairstyle For Thin Hair

The ragged outlines of a sassy look are a flawlessly classy option for any occasion. Fine layering for the back and long disconnected front tresses are the “wow” factors of this chic look, and the subtle highlights are its spice – an excellent bob hairstyle for any age.

62. Sun-Kissed Messy Bob for Fine Hair

You don’t need long blonde waves to enjoy a sun-kissed glow in your hair. Golden hues look just as fabulous with short bobs for fine hair. Cut your hair at an angle for a built-in root boost.

63. Sleek Polished Collarbone Bob

Sleek A-line bob is beyond time. Being laconic and elegant, it fits into office, casual or party looks. With fine hair you need to raise it at the roots when blow-drying to avoid the limp feel. The fantastic silky texture and polished finish catches your eye instantly.

64. Mid-Length Layered Haircut

The best bobs use color to their advantage. A beautiful blend of highlights throughout makes the most out of the short hairstyle. When you have nailed the perfect color, like the image below, your actual haircut can remain simple. Just cut a few, subtle layers for added movement.

65. Gray Balayage Lob for Straight Hair

A new color can feel just as refreshing as a new cut. Forget the common shades and go for something a little more unique like a silvery grey. To really spice up your hair, add in hints of icy blue for some extra dimension.

66. Fiery Balayage for Thin Hair

If you want to incorporate ombre or balayage into your bob haircut for fine hair, make sure to filter a few highlights throughout the crown for brightness.

67. Long Bob for Round Faces

It can be difficult to find optimal haircuts for fine hair if your face shape is round, because sparse hair tends to make it look larger. Conversely, large curls and texture may also widen your face. A slick style with sharp lines is slimming and makes your hair look fuller.

68. Blonde Balayage Hair with Piece-y Layers

Don’t forget about how effective texture can be when it comes to creating a trendy hairdo. Ask your stylist to bring out the natural movement of your strands with the right cut. Shaggy V-cut layers will do the trick. Then use a bit of sea salt spray to enhance what you’ve got.

69. Shaggy Bob Haircut with Side Bangs

Bobbed hair used to be a very bold hairdo back in the 20’s, and at present it’s one of the most popular hairstyles for fine hair. Today we no longer assume that longer hair is always better. Fine hair looks good when it’s short-to-medium, with disconnected ends. And sharp, shaggy layers are the easiest way to achieve that.

70. Messy Highlighted Waves

Some hairstyles have a long history because they prove to be flattering for different types of hair. Bobs became all the rage during the 1920s. Luckily for us, we can recreate this revolutionary style in our own ways. Break away from conventional curls and go for messy, undone waves instead.
