Who says you need long hair to have fun with styling? Bobs are proof that short hair can be insanely versatile and chic.
I’ve been saving so many amazing bob styles on Instagram lately, and I just had to share them with you guys. Get ready for some serious hair goals!
1. Multi-Colored Bob
Why not have a little fun with your hair and weave in a few different colors?
I think this is such a great way to let your personality shine through. You can really get creative with it!
2. Straight Banged Bob
For a look that feels super professional, you can’t go wrong with keeping your bob extremely straight and sleek. But if you want to kick it up a notch, adding some cute blunt bangs is the way to go.
The sharpness of the cut creates so much structure, and the pin-straight hair gives it an almost mod vibe.
3. The Red Angled Bob
This red angled bob is just gorgeous and honestly, it would look amazing on pretty much anyone.
The contrast between the red tones gives the hair so much dimension, and I love how the angled cut really draws attention to your face. For the full effect of the color, wearing your hair straight is a must.
4. Cotton Candy Bob
You will seriously wow your friends with this amazing cotton candy color.
The bright colors will draw a lot of attention to your hair and the bob cut, which is rounded and angled, pairs so nicely with this dope color.
5. Blunt Bob with Long Bangs
You can wear your bob super blunt and match it with some stunning long bangs that give you a bit of dimension.
I love that having long bangs gives you so many options for styling, while you still get that amazing look from the blunt cut.
6. The Messy Bob
Messy bobs are a fool-proof choice for any event you’re going to. The process is so simple: just give your hair a slight curl, add a little texture spray, and you are all set with amazing-looking hair.
7. Two-Toned Bob
I mean, this bob is absolutely wild in the best possible way. Keep your natural shade on the top layer and then go for it on the bottom with a bright fashion color, like this amazing teal.
The mix of colors really pops and will have people looking everywhere you go. Plus, it has such a cool, edgy vibe.
8. Punky Red Bob
This beautiful red color is an ideal choice for fall and winter and looks incredible on everyone.
My tip would be to add a few layers to your bob. That way, when you decide to curl it, your hair gets so much texture and lift.
9. Wispy Bang Bob
If you’re loving your bob but want to give yourself a small change, why not try adding a cute wispy bang to the mix?
These bangs look amazing but aren’t too heavy on your face like a full bang might be. They hit perfectly at your eyelashes and can really add to any look.
10. Curly Bob
A curly bob is just so adorable and will definitely highlight your amazing style. You can curl your hair all over, and if you’re really feeling it, adding some highlights will bring even more attention to your strands.
11. Pink Bob
Fashion colors are having a major moment right now, and you can totally join in with your own pink bob. Dye your hair a great pink shade and part it down the middle for a sleek effect.
I’d keep the hair super straight to really feature your beautiful color.
12. Flipped Out Bob
Let’s go back in time a little with this flipped-out hairstyle. It’s such an easy style to get, you just need a flat iron, and it looks so cute on anyone who tries it. The flip gives your hair a little bounce, too!
13. Short Rounded Bob
A short, rounded bob gives your hair a ton of structure and looks absolutely stunning. I’d pair your bob with a brilliant color to really elevate it.
Make sure it’s super straight and sleek when you go out so everyone can appreciate the beautiful shape.
14. Peekaboo Color
Don’t be shy about adding some color to your bob, just take a cue from this post right here.
Add some purple throughout your hair so it just peeks out whenever you move it. That pop of color will look awesome when you’re walking around.
15. Rainbow Bob
Okay, so you will be in the styling chair for a bit to get this stunning color, but I promise it’s completely worth it.
Rainbow hair looks great on everyone, and trust me, you will be turning heads left and right. Whether you wear your hair curly or straight, it doesn’t matter with this look.
16. Shadow-Root Bob
Shadow roots are such a smart way to get the color you want without constant trips to the salon. The effect they create looks amazing and it works perfectly with a bob hairstyle.
I love this idea of having your dark natural color flow into a beautiful silver.
17. Orange Bob
Adding a touch of orange to your hair gives you so much spunk and sass. This bob has a mix of light orange and dark reds, which creates a ton of texture and definition.
I’d curl the hair to really show off all the beautiful colors running through it.
18. Volumizing Bob
This bob is just packed with lift and volume, and you can get the same look! Add a ton of volumizing spray and really work it into the roots.
My pro tip is to dry your bangs back with a rounded brush to help keep them lifted, and then set it all with hairspray!
19. Simple Curly Bob
Sometimes you just want to keep things super simple and easy, like the photo here with this lovely curly bob.
You can stick with your natural hair color and just add a few curls throughout to give it some shape. Beyond that, just rock what you’ve got.

The light color leaves your hair looking shiny and gorgeous. I’d add some curl to it to get that immediate glam look.
23. Deep Purple Bob

I’d wear the hair straight so everyone can see the gorgeous color.

These orange colors paired with the angled bob look just stunning.
I would add a nice side-swept bang for a lot of flair and curl your hair to give it a nice wave. Your bob style will be looking beautiful.

Give yourself a lot of layers and finish the style off with curls.
