    Brown Neck-Length Messy A-Line Bob

    28 Trendiest Messy Bobs to Consider This Year

    @chrisjones_hair

    This neck-length messy A-line bob is super chic. It was created by hairdresser Chris Jones of The Woodlands, TX. The waves, the texture, and its rich hair color—everything works well together. It’s the movement that allows the vibrant brown hue to have a dimensional finish. This short haircut is easy to style and wear each day. It’s great for beauties who are always on the go.

    “This neck-length messy a-line bob would fall in the textured bob category,” says Jones. “Keeping the haircut simple allows the haircut to look great when worn messy. when styling messy haircuts, use a 1″ curling iron, alternating directions for that undone, lived-in look.”

    Jones believes this length works best on longer/oval facial shapes. “For rounder faces, leave the hair slightly longer,” he notes. “Because this messy bob style is texturized, not layered, it works great for finer textures. It does work well for medium to thick hair, just take out more weight for those hair types.”

Tousled hair has a looser feel to its waves that add width to the hair and give it a styled, but not overdone, everyday look to your bob.

    Undercut Bob for Thick Hair

    28 Trendiest Messy Bobs to Consider This Year

    @pinkhairedstylist

    Consider an undercut bob for thick hair because it’s cool, fresh, and very edgy. This chop has a shaved side to take away weight and bulkiness from the tresses. The technique keeps the hair fuller-looking. Wear this hairstyle and the confidence it comes with. Of course, splashes of blonde can complete the look.

    “This undercut bob for thick hair is an asymmetrical bob with a full undercut,” describes hairstylist Kimberly Shepherd of Ogden, UT. “The short messy bob has a slight stacking in the back and shorter layers for volume.”

    An asymmetrical bob is flattering for most face shapes and features. However, Shepherd says if you have very fine or thin hair, “you might want to pass on the full undercut and go for a small side shave. For thicker or coarse hair, messy bobs are a great style to remove tons of extra bulk and make styling faster and easier.”

    “When styling this undercut bob, you’ll want to use a good volume spray before blowdrying,” she explains. “Try Moroccan Oil’s Volumizing Mist for that! Curl the hair pulling the ends down to give it those straighter pieces. Then finish off with a texture spray like Kevin Murphy’s Touchable. Fluff it up, ruffle it, flip your head upside down… whatever it takes to finish with that messy look! For a messier style, add side-swept bangs to the cut.”

    Messy Long Bob

    @michaelalanphearhair

    This messy long bob is a lob, or a long inverted bob. “The dramatic side profile with heavy layers for a super textured look,” says stylist Michaela Lanphear of Mobile, AL.

    “Dimension is very important to accentuate and highlight the highs and lows of the hair cut,” explains Lanphear. “Texture plays a big factor in getting this lived-in long messy bob. Hair that is too fine or soft will fall flat. Add a little grip to the hair and alternate the curl pattern, and you’re golden.”

    Razored Bob for Fine Hair

    @emmigyn_tova

    A razored bob for fine hair brings out movement and texture to the locks’ choppy ends. It may look edgy, but it’s soft and stylish when amped up with waves. To ensure a fresh transformation, opt for a balayage. Streaks of platinum blonde can add a dimensional and contrasting effect to tresses.

    Curly Bob with a Side Part

    @bodybalancer

    A tousled style on a curly lob with a side part results in a bouncier, livelier edge. If you have this natural hair texture, this feels liberating, for sure. Curls can be stubborn at times, so use hairspray if needed. It prevents frizz and preserves the length and body of the hair.

    This curly bob is classic, timeless, and was created by freelance hairstylists Leah and Mica of San Francisco, CA.

    Leah encourages you to find a stylist who has experience with your hair type and who’s work or style you admire.

    “Follow the Curly Girl method for styling,” she notes. “Almost never use heat on your hair and diffuse the roots if it’s very cold outside.”

    She adds, “as far as product- less is more. Do not strip the oils or use shampoo that contains SLS. Try Jason or New Wash Shampoo, and any Conditioner such as the Acure brand.”

    @moiseshairstylist

    The shaggy bob looks more chic and feminine on a messy and natural wavy texture. It works on fine hair better since it’s a hairstyle with lots of movement. To jazz up a shag, use a hair balm to help create the perfect shaggy waves.

    @joahhmendes

    A medium-length bob cut is one of the best cuts that can pull off a messy style. It frames and softens the structure of the face. Messy hair like this is easier to manipulate when styling with a curling wand or a flat iron. For ladies that have fine tresses, part this bob on one side to offer extra volume.
