And, as you’ll see in this gorgeous selection, they make the perfect base for this season’s seductively subtle or beautifully bright new hair color ideas!
Short & sweet A-line bob haircuts with dark chocolate and caramel color blend
One of the benefits of short A-line bob haircuts is that they look good on fine hair, as well as medium or thick hair textures! Fine hair bob hairstyles with a variety of medium and long layers create lovely texture and make it easier to get sufficient volume to achieve lovely, smooth curves. Blunt cutting adds a thicker look to the ends of fine hair, as you can see in the nape and profile view of this classy short hairstyles’ option. This subtle hair color idea adds lots of 3-D dimension and texture in a beautiful blend of dark chocolate and caramel! Suits round, heart and oval faces.
Classic chic ash-blonde bob short hairstyles’ ideas
I love these short, round, ash-blonde bob hairstyles – they always remind me of a pretty dandelion puff-ball in summer!

Trendy boho graduated bob hairstyles in plum red & hot pink highlights
Short hair color ideas for women: This gorgeous plum colored A-line bob haircut’s got a clever secret! The section between the crown and the nape, which appears to be reflecting so much light that it looks pink, is actually a pink section. It’s an amazing trick-of-the-eye technique, using a harmonised lighter tone to exaggerate the curved, stacked back of A-line bob haircuts! Suitable for thick and medium textured hair, (or fine hair set on extra-large rollers to get sufficient volume), this plum and pink bob hairstyle’s a lovely boho variation on blonde or brown hair color ideas. Not sure what shade of plum is right for you? Ask your colorist to suggest a shade that will suit your skin-tone exactly.

Back view of graduated bob haircut: Bob hairstyles are great for showing-off your back view! This rich copper A-line bob haircut’s definitely worth a second glance to admire that lovely, exaggerated bump of volume! Shorter layered bob hairstyles like this are better for getting volume on fine and medium textured hair and this beautifully graduated bob hairstyle is accentuated by an exciting new hair color idea, too.

Messy medium A-line bob haircuts with apricot & strawberry hair color ideas
If you prefer a more casual look, here’s a fabulous messy bob to inspire your next visit to the salon! The A-line is still evident, but there’s more focus on the uneven finish that creates super texture along the lower edge. The two colors are quite different, but together they produce a lovely Boho look that adds dimension and depth to the hair. This harmonious combination of apricot and strawberry hair color ideas is subtle enough to be acceptable in any workplace, but you can also get the same look with a temporary wash-in, wash-out pink hair color. This layered bob hairstyles’ idea is suitable for thick or medium hair, as sharply textured tips in graduated bob hairstyles totally prevent the bulky look that thick hair can have when the ends haven’t been thinned-out correctly!
Edgy extreme short hairstyles & hair color ideas in blonde/grey/yellow/red
Edgy and highly original, this is a youthful style that projects an image of creativity and confidence. As graduated bob hairstyles go, this has to be one of the most stylish and original we’ve seen for a while. Best on thick hair, the layers begin about half-way down the head and thin the lower lengths to make a natural curve into the neck. Instead of having the sides long and graduated to fall on either side of the face, this bob hairstyle has long, deep bangs on one side flicked back to meet the asymmetrical long section that covers the ear and an inch or so of the back. The unusual color combination of gray under dual highlights of neutral blonde and yellow, is perfectly balanced with scarlet balayage on one side of the head in this casual and quirky new look!
Rich copper hair color ideas on spiky messy layered bob hairstyles for thick hair
Short messy hairstyle for summer: Bob hairstyles with added waves can soften a square face by covering-up a strong jawline and drawing the eye down to those sharply textured tips on either side of the chin. And long side-swept bangs can ‘cut-off’ the corners of a wide forehead, or break the circular symmetry of a round face. Thick hair is needed for this edgy A-line bob haircut, which has thinned-out tips and tons of movement in trendy, casually styled with broken waves. This beautiful, copper-brown shade is one of the most popular all-over hair color ideas this season, livening up all shades of brunette/dark-blonde/mousey hair into a really eye-catching color!

Layered bob haircuts are a great way to show off naturally curly hair, as they create lots of texture and natural volume in the fluffy back layers. This cute bob shows that short hairstyles can be extremely feminine and attractive, especially with a V-line finishing in a soft point above the nape. Adding fine blonde highlights to black hair ensures the lovely, curly texture is clearly defined and it’s a great way to disguise unwelcome gray hairs! This chic A-line bob haircut’s delicate highlights accentuate the soft texture and lively movement, on black hair that’s been prettily perked up with a hint of deep purple!

If you like a neat shape to your hair, but don’t want to look too ‘perfect’, here’s a cute compromise to consider! The perfectly shaped oat-blonde top layers are undercut by warm chocolate-brown color accents along the nape and the sides. This adds a touch of the ‘unexpected’ to graduated bob hairstyles and when the hair is slightly tousled, the brown tresses show through – adding lovely 3-D dimension and texture to any short hairstyles.
