Bob Hairstyles Inspired by IU’s Short Hair

With the length of this haircut falling just below your chin, you still have enough hair to work with should you decide to try various short hairstyles. To start, you can blow-dry your medium bob while brushing the tips inwards using a round brush. This way, you give your bob volume and bounce, leaving it in good shape for the rest of the day.

2. Short Hair With See-Through Bangs

Bangs frame your face and can either add a soft touch or make your whole look high-fashion and edgy. If you want the former, try adding see-through bangs to your bob. Since this type of fringe doesn’t entirely cover your forehead, you can rock it even if you have a petite face shape.

3. Short Hair with Flower Accessory

Aside from hair clips, headbands can also jazz up short hair. They come in different designs and colors, and all you have to do is pick the one that best suits your mood or personality. You can also wear a headband to keep strands off your face or to help hide bangs that are starting to grow.

5. Half Updo for Short Hair

If you don’t feel like leaving your short hair down, you can put it in a half updo. Simply gather a section of hair from your temples up to your crown and tie it with an elastic. You can also use a hair clip or scrunchie to secure your half updo. If you have bangs, leave them a bit wispy for a laidback look.
