Ready to take the look to the next level? Then why not try this deeply angled bob haircut?

Editor’s tip: Make sure your tresses shine bright with the TIGI S Factor Flat Iron Shine Spray. Not only can this be used on wet hair for its heat protection properties but you can also treat your tresses to a spritz when dry for the shiniest sheen of all ✨.

Sported by A-list stars and runways models alike, the undercut has risen through the style ranks and infiltrated a host of other looks to give hair a dose of toughness. So if you want to add a quirky twist to your angled bob, we think this statement style is the look for you.

8. Layered bob

Layers can really transform the overall look of a cut – just look at Jennifer Aniston. Also it’s worth noting that if you’ve got thick or curly hair and you’re worried about short hair looking too ‘triangular’, getting soft, long layers cut in can help balance this out.
