Medium Bob Haircut: Trendy Ways to Rock This ‘Do
Your medium bob doesn't have to look plain and dated. Here are ideas to make it chic and smashin'.
When you’ve had long hair for quite a while, opting for a bob haircut can be the best leap toward a fresh hairstyle. Various styles of bobs exist. There are long bobs (also known as lobs), and then there are choppy bobs which involve fun and playful layering. But if you find yourself in a dilemma about moving to a very short hairstyle or possibly returning the long hair you’ve always loved, a medium bob haircut might just be your best bet!
The medium bob haircut generally ranges from the jawline extending to just above the shoulders. Read on as we explore some inspiring ideas in flaunting the medium bob.
Medium Bob Haircut Pegs We Love
1. Flipped-Out Medium Bob Haircut
Work your flyaways to your advantage by going for a flipped-out medium bob haircut. Instead of ironing or blow drying the tips of your inward, you do it outward with the help of a roller brush. You can also use hair rollers to help you achieve this shape; again, just wrap your hair around the rollers away from your face.
2. Blunt Medium Bob Haircut
Wear your blunt medium bob wavy if you want a casual, textured look. You can also wear it straight if you want it simple and polished. Either way, split ends are a no-no, so use shampoo and conditioner that makes your hair healthy and damage-free.
Editor’s tip: Did you know that even your everyday styling, especially with heat, can damage your hair? That’s why we recommend using Dove Intense Repair Keratin Tri-Silk Serum Shampoo regularly. It has keratin, fiber actives, and serum ingredients to repair damage, nourish and protect your hair deeply, and leave it extra beautiful. Its Keratin Repair Actives also nourish and repair damaged hair from its core to its surface.
For best results, pair Dove Intense Repair Keratin Tri-Silk Serum Shampoo with Dove Keratin Repair 1 Minute Serum Conditioner, which has keratin-infused capsules that go deep into your hair to repair damage from within. With system use, this conditioner leaves your hair recovered, resilient, and more beautiful in just one minute!
3. Blowout Bob
Want to add volume to your bob? You can make shallow waves by blow drying your hair without its nozzle. Apply hair mousse first to help with the volume and to keep your hair free from frizz. Don’t forget to spritz heat protectant on your hair before blow drying to prevent heat damage.
4. Sleek and Shiny
Got naturally black hair? Flaunt it with a sleek bob. Use a flat iron to get rid of stray hairs, then iron the tips inward to make your look polished. Finish by applying a drop of hair serum to make sure your hair stays frizz-free.
Editor’s tip: Give your hair a smooth finish with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Anti-Frizz Shine Serum. It has keratin and marula oil to calm frizz, add shine, detangle, make hair soft, and tame flyaways. Its non-greasy formula leaves your hair silky and full of movement.
5. Dyed Medium Bob Haircut
Want a total hair revamp? Aside from getting a haircut, get a dye job as well. Now is the time to experiment with different hair colors. You don’t have to choose bold colors if you don’t want to. You can go for tried-and-tested but trendy shades like ash brown or cinnamon hair. Then, add texture to your hair by creating shallow waves or going for a tousled look.
6. Messy Layered Bob
Gone are the days when sleek and polished hairstyles are the only options in styling your hair. A messy-chic ‘do like the messy layered bob can be your go-to hairstyle when you’re in the mood for a more relaxed look.
7. Beach Waves With Bangs
Whether you’re on the beach or not, you can rock beach waves along with your short hair or medium bob. You can even wear this ‘do with bangs for added impact.
8. The Side Sweep
Simply create a deep side part on one side of your hair, smoothen the rest of your tresses, and there you have it! A few gold bobby pins on one side can even jazz up the Side Sweep and make it even trendier.
9. Braided Medium Bob Haircut
From a simple Side Sweep, you can take your hairstyle up a notch by creating two small braids on the side with less hair. Spritz hairspray for a neater finish and to make your hairstyle last long. So easy, right?
Editor’s tip Enjoy easy-to-style hair that also smells great with Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Shampoo. Its Active-Infusion—a blend of oils, proteins, and vitamins—protects hair from damaging factors such as pollution, heat, humidity, dust, and the sun’s rays.

10. Half-Up Top Knot
You can rock this hairstyle whether you have a chin-length or medium bob. It’s also a piece of cake to do! You might not even need a comb especially if you’re gunning for a messy-chic top knot.
With these medium bob ideas, you won’t regret getting that haircut. Who knows? You might want to keep your hair medium-length or even short for a while.
