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.

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.

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!

Cute short oat-blonde A-line bob haircuts with yummy dark-chocolate detail

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.  I love the contrast in this cute, well-groomed bob hairstyles’ idea, so if you’d like to project the image of a well-organised woman with intriguing hidden depths – give it a go!

Bold & bright copper hair & extra-steep stacked bob hairstyles for thick hair

This is one of my favorites – both for the bright copper hair color idea and the extreme stacked layers at the back!  Fabulous!  Unfortunately, I have fine hair :( but for anyone with thick hair this is a super-hot short hairstyles’ idea, that’s also an easy hairstyle.  The closely stacked layers create a sculpted shape to thick hair, with finely textured tips making even coarse hair lie in a smoothly curved line.  See how the texture contrast, between the smooth top and the stacked layers, creates the illusion of 3 different shades of copper, too!  Copper is a great color to glamorise dark-blonde hair and on head-turning, graduated bob hairstyles will definitely get you up there on every man’s radar!

Chic boho bob hairstyles with bangs for round/heart/oval/long faces and thick black hair

Here’s a great short hairstyle to try if you’re a stylish type, who appreciates simplicity over novelty!  The full, straight-across bangs are great for round and heart-shaped faces and the fairly sleek sides will also help to minimise a wide face.  This short hairstyle is only angled very slightly into an A-line bob haircut shape, making this a suitable bob for fine, medium and thick straight hair.  On fine hair, the layers are long with blunt-cut tips to add thickness around the bottom line, but on thicker hair ask for concave layers just above the tips to create a natural curve.  Chin-length layered bob hairstyles are a flattering choice for long faces, too, with a longer side-swept fringe and extra volume at the sides to complete the look.

Relaxed waves & subtle honey-blonde ombré on long messy A-line bob

Casual, messy long A-line bob haircuts are very popular hairstyles for spring and summer, having taken over from many long, shapeless styles.  This layered bob hairstyles’ idea has a steep angle from back to front, with the hair falling just past the shoulder blades, so you still ‘feel’ as if you have long hair!  And you can make some fabulously fresh upstyles with long A-line bob haircuts, too.  This season, wavy ‘bands’ are being used to make a cute textured section between the roots and the straight tips and along with the flattering, warm honey-blonde shade and slightly lighter ombré, it all adds up to a relaxed, easy-care bob hairstyle that’s a very attractive look!

Classy baby-blonde with honey-blonde roots on softly angled bob hairstyles for fine hair

Natural blondes and fair-haired individuals tend to have finer, thinner hair than the vigorous manes of brunettes and look better with shorter layered bob hairstyles.  This is the perfect example of one of the best A-line bob haircuts for fine hair, as the angle is very slight and the hair is layered from about two-inches above the tips, to create a light, natural curve into the nape. If you prefer a softer beauty look than the edgy white blondes with dark roots, this short hairstyles’ hair color idea is definitely the trendy choice for spring and summer!  Honey-blonde roots and lower layers beneath a baby-blonde top layer create a lovely 3-D colour depth and texture in these smoothly styled curves.
