Long layers arranged in such sweeping motion creates a more dynamic look for this messy bob cut with side bangs. The caramel highlights are much more showcased in this feathered, messy style.

Textured Stacked Bob for Thick Hair

@ashdoesyourhair

While some are wary that having your thick hair cut into a bob would make all those strands appear all frayed, adding layers will lighten it up. Tapered layers can help in keeping everything in place while the side bang is there to offer its face-framing abilities.

Angled Bob

@deniisu

The angular bob cut inclined towards the face can either flatter your features or make them look overly expressed, resulting in a less charming look. Side-swept feathered bangs are here to balance out the motion of the cut, bringing the whole look together.

Sew In Bob

Slay the sew-in bob with side bangs by finding the right cut, texture, and color of the weave that best matches your hair. The side bangs come in handy as this arrangement can cover up the detailed edges of sew-in that you’re wearing.

How would you describe this look?

What I really love about the whole look is the posh and trendiest feel of the short bob with side-swept bangs. The outline is just around the chin. I created a very precise bob on a 45° angle for volume. Then, I texturized the cut by doing the back-combing cutting technique.

This results in a more jagged feel, and the color completed the cut. This is the exciting part, achieving this classy pink – not so vibrant or bright or neon but just a very subtle satin pink.

The challenge was to pre-lighten to a pale yellow making sure to maintain the integrity of the hair condition. After two sessions using Ordeve Blonde bleach, toning was essential. Violet Tone was used to achieve the silver-gray toning or reflect. Right after, we used Revlon Professional Satinescent to make the satin-pink reflect. It’s pink with silver underlying reflect.

Any advice for someone considering it?

When doing chemical sessions that can damage both scalp and hair, my tips are as follows:

Use beautifying oil by Aveda for scalp comfort before, after, and days after the bleach session. The Revlon Equave conditioning leave-in spray is good for equalizing and adding moisture to the hair. For shampoo, use Aveda Color Conserve and Aveda Damage Remedy Masque for hair strengthening.

Before you blast-dry, add volumizing tonic onto the scalp – Aveda light elements on the shaft until the ends for shine. Style with wax and light spray for a definition of layers.

When you maintain pastel and satin-finished color, visit your colorists every 3-4 weeks for a color gloss or color retouch – 5-10 minutes will be sufficient to refresh the shade.

Mid Length Bob

How would you describe this look?

I created a soft layered bob haircut with side bangs and balayaged her in foils. She doesn’t get her haircut or colored very often. So it was important to give her a style and color that grows out nicely and doesn’t require a lot of upkeep.

Bangs soften any look, so I gave her sultry side-swept bangs and heavily textured the ends. I finished her cut by texturizing her ends just a little to keep her layers from looking too blunt and soften the overall look.

Any advice for someone considering it?

I curled her hair with a 1″ curling iron, then brushed through and sprayed Joico Finishing Texture Spray, which I love. It helps define curls and gives just enough texture without making it stiff, and it smells great too!

Because her hair lays nicely without curls, she could “blow and go”. Or, simply spray a texturing spray all over and rough it up with her hands to give a tousled look. To keep it straight and smooth, finish with a shine spray.

How would you describe this look?

This is a short, textured bob with short side bangs. It is for the progressive woman who wants sassy, fun, and sexy hair. This cut is trendy and has a great foundation for a balayage to achieve a beachy look. What I like about these short bangs and cut is the fact that it is excellent for the summer easy to style.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This cut looks good on anyone. Of course, there are different textures, but you shouldn’t have any fear! With the right texturizing technique, this cut is suitable for most curl patterns. This haircut allows options in the bang/fringe area.

Blunt Bob with Thick Side Bangs

How would you describe this look?

This is a classic, blunt one-length bob with side bangs, and this is her natural hair color.

Any advice for someone considering it?

I really try and inform my clients that confidence is everything with short hair! This blunt bob cut requires styling a round brush smooth or flat-ironed look. All hair types can rock this look, just depends if the client wants to be styling it every day.

It’s a 6-week maintenance cut and bangs every 3 weeks. A sleek bob with side bangs gives instant youthfulness. My motto is that bangs are free botox; it hides everything on the forehead!
