Choppy Bob Hairstyles We Love
1. Wispy Choppy Bob
Having a bad hair day? Disguise it with wispy hair. This can work with any hair type or texture. Imperfections actually add to wispy hair’s charm, so if you have strands that are not behaving well, you can just chill and let them be. Spritz hairspray or texturizing spray on your wispy hair so it won’t look flat, then scrunch hair to style. Very easy, right?
2. Curly Choppy Bob
Curls are not just for long hair. If you want a break from your sleek and straight hair, curl your choppy bob. Get a curling iron with a small barrel and wrap a section of hair around it for three to five seconds or until you achieve the curl you want. Curl hair one section at a time, then finish with a hairspray to let your curls last. Prettify your everyday look with a curly choppy bob. You can also wear this hairstyle to work and look hot in your black-blazer-and-slacks getup.
3. Straight and Edgy Layers
Show off your layers with a straight choppy bob. Use a flat iron to straighten hair from mid-length up to the tips. This hairstyle is perfect if you want to give off a rocker-chick vibe. A straight and edgy bob also makes for an excellent Friday night-out hairstyle when you and your friends are ready to hit the bars.
4. Wavy Bob
Got thin, flat hair? Give it bounce with a wavy choppy bob. You can make subtle waves using a blow dryer or even a flat iron. Don’t want heat? A tousled look is the way to go.
5. Wispy Bob with Center Part
If you want to make your wispy hair look a bit more polished, just part it at the center. Then, finger-comb and shake your hair to help bring out the layers. The result is a sleek but laidback hairstyle that you can wear from day to night. Sport this ‘do as well on a busy day so you look chic as you hop from one errand to another.

6. Dyed Layers
Edgy and brave, a layered bob with two or more colors allows you to show your artsy side on your hair. You can even go for ombre short hair for a dramatic color transition.
7. Chin-length Layered Bob with Bangs
A chin-length bob doesn’t have to be blunt all the time. It can have layers, too. The layers add bounce and texture, especially when you complement them with side-swept bangs that beautifully frame your face.
8. Tousled Layered Bob
If you want a messy-chic choppy bob, go for tousled layers. This is the perfect way to sport that woke-up-like-this vibe when you’re in the mood for something hip.
9. Bob with Bouncy Layers
Add more volume to your bob by blow drying your hair while brushing the tips inwards using a round brush. This will create a bouncy blowout hairstyle that you can wear from day ’til night.
10. Medium Bob with Ash Hair Color
What’s good about a lighter hair color is that it can make your layers and hair texture more apparent. Ash tones like ash blonde or even ash gray can make you look edgy and can even give you a rock star performer vibe.
11. Chic Straight Layered Bob
This chic bob definitely makes you look years younger. The layers are few and are concentrated on the ends. Best of all, it doesn’t need accessories but just the right anti-frizz products to achieve the desired shape and style of your hair. Whether you’re going out to dinner, meeting with clients, or spending the day at the office, this hairstyle really makes a statement that will turn admiring looks to your direction.

12. Edgy Bob with Full Bangs
Bring out that classic china doll look by donning an edgy A-shaped bob hair with full bangs. If you have a heart-shaped or round-shaped face, you will surely love how this hair plays up your strong features. It’s edgy and stylish that will leave everyone in awe.
13. Choppy Long Bob with Bangs
A choppy lob is just as charming as a layered short bob, especially when it’s soft and bouncy. If you have a long face shape, you can add bangs to balance out your features and have them frame your face beautifully.
14. Pink Choppy Bob
You can also make your choppy bob bolder by dyeing it pink. It’s perfect when you’re fond of experimenting with hair colors to express yourself. Add some side bangs and let your fringe blend seamlessly with your layered haircut for an edgy look.
