It seems like a good idea to start with something relatively uncomplicated, and this hairstyle meets that criterion for me. A simple layered bob with natural curtain bangs: what’s there not to love?

Blonde is one of the classiest hair colours out there, and it shows in this hairstyle idea. Throw layers into a blonde bob and you have this adorable specimen of a hairstyle.

3. Brown Perfectly Layered Bob

@olgakursitis

We’ve seen black and blonde, so it’s only natural that the next idea is brown. It’s pretty much the same as the initial hairstyle idea, but in brown, making it twice as pretty, in my opinion at least.

4. Copper Long Layered Bob

If you’re looking for another adorable blonde-ish hairstyle this copper layered lob is for you. With its layers and the adorable centre parting, nothing can go wrong with the style.

5. Short Layered Bob

Black is an excellent hair colour, but it looks even better when you’re getting a layered bob. You’d think the shortness is a disadvantage, but it turned out to be the perfect crop, making the style look even more alluring.

6. Centred-Parted Layered Lob

This brownish-layered lob walks the path of the initial hairstyle in this compilation, and I can tell you it’s not a bad path from experience. The centre parting creates symmetry, giving the style a more balanced look overall.

7. Shaggy Bob Cut

@bronwenrobins

One way to make your bob more exciting is by adding a bit of shagginess to it, which is what this model has done. She also incorporated the centre-parting idea from the preceding style, making it an all-in-one beauty.

8. Long Bob with Smooth Swept Bangs

@olgakursitis

Lobs aren’t for everyone, but if they’re for you, you’d love this idea. The layers are amazing, but it has no centre-parting. However, the smooth bangs are pretty enough to ensure you don’t need one.

9. Short Bob with Fringe and Angled Bang

10. Chic Blonde Bob with Bangs

@olgakursitis

I’m not sure if the blonde colour is what I love most about this hairstyle or the black bangs. Maybe it’s the bangs or even the centre parting. One thing I’m sure of, however, is that everything I just mentioned is insanely adorable.

11. Side-Parted Long Layered Bob

@olgakursitis

This is not the first blonde idea in this compilation, but one this long and alluring is a first. I’m a fan of the layered look and the unconventional shaping; it simply makes the underlying bob pop.

12. Messy Layered Bob

@olgakursitis

Some messiness does no harm to a bob, and in some cases like this model, it can do a lot of good. Just ensure the bob is well layered and side-swept, sit back, and watch the magic happen.

13. Layered Bob Cut for Women over 50

@beaute_business

Adorable layered bobs don’t discriminate based on age, as you can tell from this idea. if you wear it well enough, it will look as good on this 50-year-old model as it would on a 15-year-old.

14. Textured Layered Bob with Curtain Bangs

I’m not exactly a fan of messy bobs, but when you present it like this, it makes it difficult to say no. I’ve been reviewing hairstyles for years, and I’ve not seen something have a similar balance of shagginess and organization.

15. Chic Soft Layered Bob Haircut

@josh_thebalayboy

As far as brunette bobs go, this idea is as sleek as it gets without sacrificing the layers. I can imagine how much more adorable this style will look with a generous helping of curtain bangs!

16. Styled Layered Blonde with Dimensional Highs and Lows

Why use brown or blonde in your hair when you can get both? This dimensional textured bob uses a cross-section of brown and blonde highlights, and nothing can prepare you for how adorable it looks.

If you’re after a classic layered lob you can wear to work every day, nothing beats this idea. While the model is an older lady, this hairstyle doesn’t seem age-dependent.

I’m not sure if it’s something about the bobs or the length, but the layered shaggy styles in this compilation tend to look exceedingly beautiful, and now with flawless curtain bangs; what we have here is a 10/10 hairstyle.

Blonde isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but not when it’s served with long curtain bangs and in the perfect crop. Even if you’re a coffee person, you just have to admit this blonde bob is too delicious to pass on.

22. Soft Layered Bob with Highlights

@richardnicholas_h_s

A black layered bob with brown highlights is the kind of combo I see myself getting, especially when I know it will look this good. The natural wavy texture also seems like it’ll work well with curtain bangs, but we can’t confirm that.

23. Gray Textured Layered Bob

@hairby_violetvelez

We’ve seen so many colours that I can’t believe we’ve not seen a grey bob. Whether you’re a senior going grey or a young lady who’s into the colour, grey is an adorable way to wear the hairstyle.

I’m not a big believer in the entire white hairstyles idea, but this idea has me rethinking my stance. You may think the layers are its biggest attraction, but I’m more interested in the overall structure.

28. Blonde Face Framing Lob

@chrisjones_hair

Lobs are pretty; we’ve decided that long ago, but who could tell wavy lobs are even prettier? If you have the length and the blonde, replicating this look is a no-brainer.

29. Cute Messy Black Layered Bob

@legionhairstudio

If you prefer black styles to blonde, this idea is the closest thing to the preceding one you’ll find. It has some elements of a wavy lob, but at its core, it’s another messy layered bob, and that’s excellent too.

Nothing feels better than being able to look this good on a grey short layered bob at 70. The undercut effect adds some playfulness, making it ever so slightly prettier.

We’ve discussed layered bobs in black, blonde, white, and even purple, but brown continues to take the cake for me. When you present it in a package like this with stepped layers, who even wants any other colour?

@lavishspokane

Why use some unconventional colours when you can simply get a prettier version of the same style in black? If you told me a simple wavy black bob with a parting can look this adorable, I’d argue, and maybe it’s the model’s smile.

Colour combinations aren’t very common, but who wouldn’t get one if it’s guaranteed to look this good? The angled, layered bob is already amazing as it is, but the colour takes it to another level.
