Choosing a single hairstyle is already challenging as it is, but I went ahead to compile 20. I hope you find them all adorable, just as I did.

1. Creamy Blonde Layered Bob

This bob starts just below the chin and extends over to the back of the head. It does look somewhat rough, very much like a Pixie Bob, but its layers are not as thick. It’s a perfect choice if you need something short, light, and simple.

2. Summer Blonde Layered Bob

This bob looks a lot like the preceding idea, but the hair here is lengthier at the back than it is at the front, before stopping at the chin. It looks incredibly amazing style on the model, and it should look similar on women above 50 who fancy thicker bob styles. You can check out my list of long hairstyles for older women if you were hoping to see longer hairstyles.

3. Bright Blonde Layered Bob

There’s not much going on with this blonde bob, making it a nice choice for ladies who want their outfits to take center stage. The edges of the nape are short and follow through to the front, ending just below the chin for a characteristic amazing look.

4. Layered Bob with Highlight

Here’s something different; a blonde bob for ladies looking for something that’s a little longer. Its bronze-like hair color is an elegant choice for ladies in their 50s with a knack for bob hairstyles. With the bob having layers that extend over parts of the forehead, it qualifies as a layered bang bob.

5. Dark Hair Layered Bob

Now here’s a different hair color rocking a layered bob in its full glory. Not only does this prove this haircut is perfect for ladies with any hair color,  the sleek look also subtly proves just how better a layered bob looks on dark hair compared to blonde.

6. Gray Layered Bob Haircut

Getting your layered bob in gray will definitely make you appear somewhat older, no thanks to the color. Still, it remains a great choice for fashionable ladies who don’t want to lose their mature appearance. The slight parting it’s rocking at the font leaves the front edges hanging just above the chin, giving off an air of style.

7. Neck-Length Layered Bob

Here’s a bob hairdo if you like hairstyles that extend to touch the shoulder. This grey bob hairstyle elegantly stops at the chin while extending through the back to the shoulders. This style is one of my favorites for it’s length and how it balances between maturity and sleekness with its unique color.

8. Face Framed Layered Bob Haircut

Back to darker hair colors; this hairdo is an excellent pick for ladies with chubby chins. Its edges curl inwards, allowing the overall style to fit in the face perfectly. From the back, the edges appear well-trimmed, curling towards the front to give that covered bob style.

9. Inverted Layered Bob

This inverted bob already looks great, but what’s even better is that you don’t need to be a rockstar to rock this hairstyle. If you’re ever thinking of a hairdo that’ll capture the room’s attention, this should be one of your top picks. The wavy bob side extends just below the chin, with the other end extending to the shoulders for a cute yet dimensional look.

10. Short Layered Textured

Having short hair limits you to a few possible style, but that doesn’t mean there are no excellent styles to pick from. This hairstyle is one great example for ladies needing something simple to handle without compromising there beauty. Unlike most bobs, your cheek gets some breathing room and you don’t constantly have to deal with hair from your forehead dropping to cover your eyes.

11. Shaggy Mullet Layered Bob

This hairstyle is perfect for older ladies looking to fit into the contemporary fashion culture. The bob ends just above the nape at the back and progressively gets shorter towards the chin, again leaving the chin with some breathing room and creating an excellent style overall.

12. Beveled Edge Layered Bob Haircut

This layered bob is fitting for any lady irrespective of age. It’s neither too thick nor to thin; just a simple texture with curved edges to match. The length at the front stops just below the chin, and the consistency follows through to the nape, creating one of this compilation’s most balanced looks.

13. Layered Bob Thin Gray Hair

This bob brings a new vibe to styles for 50+ ladies with gray hair. Like the previous one, it’s best for ladies after low-maintenance hairstyles they don’t constantly have to keep worrying about. Although not exactly a medium-length bob hairstyle, the edges rest around the middle of the neck to give it a very medium-length look

14. Fresh Layered Bob Haircut

Any woman can get a bob, but most ladies want to rock a hairstyle that edifies their appearance, and this fresh layered bob does just that. The partially blunt bob covers part of the forehead and drops down just below the chin with a deliberate yet chic curve. It’s a perfect hairstyle for oldies who prefer to look smart while maintaining their beauty.

15. Colored Layered Bob

If you’re after for a colored bob to brighten your appearance, this style is undoubtedly one of your best bets. The golden blonde gives a whole new look with its unique style, with a back long and curvy enough to touch the nape, and the front curving inwardly to give your cheek enough space to glow!

16. Graduated/Layered Bob

Show me a better-looking gray-colored bob on a 60+ year old and I’ll show you a four-legged hen. Its short length with the graduated thin layers ensures there’s enough hair on the scalp without you shaking your head all the time. Easily the perfect choice for grannies who’d rather not be excluded from contemporary fashion.

17. Fresh Textured Layered Bob Haircut

Thickly layered bobs can also look good, especially if they match your outfit. This blonde multi-layered bob rests just above the nape and, like most great bobs, doesn’t block the cheeks; exactly all you need in a hairstyle you’re wearing in the summer, especially as an older lady.

18. Layered Bob for Curly-Wavy Hair

From texture to color, there’s clearly a lot going on with this bob. The voluminous look isn’t the main attraction, but the shaggy look, which is pretty rare among ladies over 50. The gray-brunette color combination is also a perfect fit for any lady.

19. Layered Bob with Bangs

This Hybrid blonde is amazing! A blunt bob that sticks to the head; perfect for women who like to simply forget they have a hairdo, even though it happens to be a great one. It’s an all-around short bob with ends just below the nape, sides well fitted to match any face type, and beautiful bangs adorning the front.

20. Layered Bob

Rounding things up, this multi-layered golden-blonde bob impresses beautifully. Although looking very much like a straight bob, the edges curl beautifully to fit into each other. At the back, the hair stops just before the nape and extends forward to end just below the chin and on the sides. Being the last recommendation on the list surely doesn’t mean it’s the worst; it’s one of the best in my book!
