“You know that I’m known for the bob.”
The blunt bob is a timeless classic, and for good reason. This haircut sits around jaw-length and features sharp, even ends that offer a sleek and confident look.
In the summer, it’s polished yet low-maintenance. Perfect for straight or slightly wavy hair, it stays neat even in humidity. The blunt edges also frame the face beautifully, making it great for heart, oval, or long face shapes.
Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa have sported blunt bobs with both casual and red-carpet appeal.
Styling Tips: Use a flat iron for a clean, glass-hair finish or tousle it with a wave spray for a beachier vibe. A shine serum helps keep it sleek in the heat.
Ready to go bold? The textured pixie is edgy, dynamic, and loaded with personality. Think Zoe Kravitz or Florence Pugh for edgy, confident takes on this look. With slightly longer layers on top, this style is ideal for showcasing natural texture and volume. It’s ultra-cool and requires minimal drying time—no heavy blow-dry needed.
Styling Tips: To take it to the next level, a texturizing pomade or dry wax can define the layers. Use your fingers to create a messy-chic finish or sleek it back for something more refined. This technique is great for oval and round faces.
Chic, sophisticated, and effortlessly Parisian, the French bob is a romantic take on the classic style. It typically rests at or just above the chin and pairs perfectly with full fringe or curtain bangs. The shorter length keeps you cool, while the polished silhouette adds flair to casual summer fashion. Lily Collins and Taylor LaShae often showcase this timeless look with a modern twist.
Styling Tips: This style thrives with a subtle bend or curl. A round brush and blow dryer help you nail that swooping volume. This works beautifully for square and heart-shaped faces.
Curly hair deserves a moment in the sun, and the curly crop is that moment. This style embraces natural coils, curls, or waves, cut close to the scalp with volume at the top.
In the hot sun, this style minimizes the need for heat styling while celebrating natural hair. There’s less product, less sweat, and more freedom.
Styling Tips: Use a curl cream or mousse to define your shape, and refresh with a water spritz and light gel throughout the day. It flatters round and oval faces and accentuates natural curl patterns. For inspo, look to Yara Shahidi or Rihanna’s curly pixie era.

For those who want short hair without going too short, the shaggy lob strikes the perfect balance. With choppy layers and soft movement, this haircut adds depth and texture without high commitment. Think Alexa Chung’s signature cut. It’s casual yet fashionable.
The shaggy bob’s carefree structure handles humidity like a pro. It also grows out well, giving you time to decide your next style.
Styling Tips: Diffuse or air-dry for a naturally undone texture. Use texturizing spray for added volume. Complements square, oval, and heart-shaped faces.
Want something with more edge? The asymmetrical bob is slightly longer on one side, offering drama and dimension without sacrificing practicality. You get the breeziness of a short cut with the styling versatility of longer strands. Brie Larson and Victoria Beckham have made the asymmetrical bob a modern staple.
Styling Tips: This hairstyle works well with straight or wavy hair. Use a flat iron for a sleek contrast between the lengths or scrunch with mousse for tousled asymmetry. It is ideal for round or oval faces.
Minimalist and powerful, the buzz cut or fade isn’t just for men; it’s quickly becoming one of the most fashion-forward short haircuts for women. Singer Halsey and model Adwoa Aboah both prove that buzzed styles are stunning and feminine.
Lorde said it best: “It’s buzzcut season anyway.” With no hair, there’s no hassle. It’s perfect for hot days, active lifestyles, and those craving a bold refresh.
Styling Tips: Maintain sharp edges with regular trims. You can experiment with color: platinum blonde, pastel pink, or deep copper, to make this cut uniquely yours. While buzzcuts can work for anyone, they’re best suited for oval and heart-shaped faces.
Can’t choose between a pixie and a bob? Go for the bixie. This hybrid cut offers volume at the crown with softness at the edges, creating a round, face-framing silhouette. It’s flirty, playful, and adapts to many textures, from wavy to fine hair. Anne Hathaway’s short bob-pixie moments offer endless versatility.
Styling Tips: Blow-dry with a round brush for soft movement or add mousse for a touchable body. This technique works on all face shapes with some customization.
