How would you describe this look?

This is in between an inverted bob and pixie bob. With short hair comes less maintenance, and it is very versatile. It brings volume and texture to the hair. This bob is for women of all ages, shapes, and personalities. It works well for many hair types and has countless styling options. With the right angle, it can visually correct the length of the neck and jawline.

Any advice for someone considering it?

There are many ways to style this bob. It can be sleek or messy, and it just depends on your desire and mood for the day. I’ve been using Label.M Paste to texturize it and finish it with Label.M Hairspray.

Turn your hair into its finest form! Embrace your natural hair’s texture and get the curly bob as your new asset. You’ll look flattering with your dark tresses and a neck-length chop.

How would you describe this look?

I love this voluminous, free, and ready-to-go look. It frames my face while forgiving my flat profile and aging neckline. I can go bed-head and not refresh second-day hair or refresh and look tidy. At last, I have fast-dry, fashionable, trendy, and stylish thick curls – the dream of curly hair women, young or mature! This cut will ease growing my gray hair – no more color.

I describe this bob hairdo as contemporary classic – always in fashion no matter the age. My favorite thing about it is how it is short and off the neck in the back, making the back styling so much easier in the morning.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Warning! This bob will make a mature woman rock again which leads to updating your wardrobe.

In addition, this look requires moisturized curls. As with any natural curly style, hydration/moisturized curls play a big role in the success of multiple-day styling. The better hydrated the curls are, the better the styling of natural curls.

The Inverted Bob

24 Classy Bob Haircuts for Older Women

Brighten up your face with a dark-rooted, dimensional blonde! The inverted bob haircut will be perfect in case you want subtle stacked layers on your look.

Q&A with style creator, Kelly Andrew
Hair Stylist @ Suraj Spa Salon in Asheville, NC

How would you describe this look?

My favorite thing about this bob style is how little maintenance it requires. Between the rooty color and the shaggy layers, you get a beautiful grow out which requires less time in the salon. The cut is also very versatile which I love. The texture and layers give the client the option for a fixed, polished look or a messier, shaggy hairstyle. Creating styles with versatility is the best part of my job.

Any advice for someone considering it?

I think the best piece of advice for this style is to consider the texture of your hair. While this cut and style do well for straighter, medium to fine-textured hair, it might create more work for someone with coarse hair or hair that tends to be frizzy. However, that’s not to say it’s impossible to achieve this look if you do have coarse or frizzy hair. You would just need to keep in mind how much time you want to spend styling your hair and also what products you’d want to invest in.

The Choppy Bob

24 Classy Bob Haircuts for Older Women

To every chic older lady out there, this is the choppy bob hairstyle for you! The detailed chop creates texture, so hair ends will not look so blunt. Waves on this shoulder-grazing cut intensify the dimension in its blonde shade.

How would you describe this look?

This medium-length bob is a practical, easy look that you can wear both straight and wavy. It’s modern, natural, texturized, and can be worn in many different ways.

I personally love to make this kind of haircut because it’s a style for both young and older women. It’s important to choose the length of the bob from what face shape you have. This is important to make the look fit you personally!

The color I did with highlights and lowlights complements the haircut and makes the hair vibrant.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This bob haircut is an easy look if you have straight hair and if you have natural curls. If you have thick and unruly hair, you must consider using a flat iron to make it look good.

I personally like this cut better with some soft waves and more texture. Use the flat iron to make loose waves. It does not need to take a lot of time. I like to use dry shampoo and texture products with a matte finish. Always finish with hairspray and remember to use heat protection every time!

Considering this cut? Just do it – you will not regret!
