It’s never been a better time to experiment with a bob haircut — this is one hairstyle that is full-on trendy this spring. The great thing about this season’s bobs is that they come in a variety of shapes and even lengths to suit every face shape and personal style. Love a sleek, blunt cut? This season has you covered. Prefer something funkier with tons of layers? You’ll find that too!
The bob is a modern classic that endures and stands the test of time because it is so flattering on so many women. This season you’ll even find a call-back to the 1960s with a cute flipped bob (in case you’re into retro looks). Here are eight great bob haircut ideas to get you excited about your hair.

1. Flipped Bob
A flipped bob can be achieved with a great bob haircut (leaving the ends blunt will help with this shape) and a quality round brush and blow dryer. Simply curl the ends upward with your round brush and dry them into place. Spritz a little hairspray on afterward to set your style in place and you are retro gorgeous.
2. Italian Bob
The Italian bob is blunt, stops at the chin, and features soft, long layers that create movement and texture in your hair. Volume is key to make this bob pop so invest in a mousse, root-lifting spray, round brush, and great hair dryer.
3. Layered Bob
One of the quickest ways to add volume and movement to your bob is by layering it. Layers help create texture so that your bob doesn’t sit there or fall flat. They can also help your hair look more youthful and funky and are beautiful when paired with highlights or balayage.
4. ‘90s Bob
The ‘90s bob sits between the chin and shoulder and features soft, face-framing layers that are typically styled so that they’re a bit tousled. The ends of your hair can be flipped out if you prefer a flip, but without a blunt shape, or they can be feathery and lightweight.
5. Asymmetrical Bob
Prefer a bob with attitude? Few will come close to the asymmetrical bob, which is shorter on one side and longer on the other. This bob is chic and frames one side of the face so that it makes a statement.
6. Bob With Texture
From curly bobs to bobs with Hollywood waves, prepare to see a ton of bobs this season that feature texture. A textured bob looks youthful, fun, and low-maintenance in some cases. It offers the perfect swap for the typical chic straight bobs we tend to see.
7. The Lob
If the idea of a chin-length bob is too scary to contemplate, but you love the overall shape of the bob, then a lob may be right up your alley. The lob is a long bob, and it’s one that usually stops at the collarbone and can be styled blunt or with layers.
8. Bixie
And for those who feel a bob is too long, but a pixie is too short, there’s another great hairstyle choice to consider: the bixie. The bixie is a hybrid of the bob and pixie with a shorter back and sides, but longer layers on top. It’s soft, playful, and perfect for creating volume.
