A short bob haircut with bangs is great for women who want a bob that removes weight while also giving off a mod style. Short hair requires less maintenance, product, and time to style. However, adding bangs can require extra styling time. The key to choosing the best short bob haircut with bangs is to understand your face shape and hair type. Bangs might be just a small part of the whole bob, but they can change up your look significantly! Depending upon your hair type or density, you may want to add layers or texturizing. Check out these popular inspiring photos of short bobs with bangs!

#2: Cute Short Bob with Fringe and Highlights
Looking for a change up for spring and summer? One of the best examples of this is a cute short bob with fringe and highlights. Not only are you getting rid of some length, but you are also adding dimension and a pop of lightness to your new crown. My advice after receiving this style is to prebook with your stylist for a trim and a gloss in 8 weeks. This will keep your ends fresh and shaped and your highlights toned to a color that suits you best.

#5: Sassy Textured Blunt Cut Bob with Curtain Bangs
Get excited about a textured blunt cut bob with curtain bangs. If you love fashionable hair this cut has it all. The curtain bangs accent a bob perfectly, but pay attention to where you would like them to be cut. There is a lot of versatility with the length and they are the focal point of the cut. You could cut them shorter, but if you want them to flick backward, try below the eye.
#6: Retro Fringe
The retro fringe is very short, on the verge with the micro fringe, but it’s quite choppy too, with a lot of vertical cuts into it. My advice to you is to ask your stylist to leave it a bit longer initially and then cut it shorter if you need to.
#7: Cute Short Curly Shag with Bangs
Look cute and sassy with a short curly shag with bangs. A short length will help your curls become bouncy and full of life. If you have a thicker density, your hair should be thinned out so it will not become too big and unmanageable at a shortened length. Framing your face with a bang will finish off your haircut and instantly become the perfect cut for curly hair.
#8: Layered French Bob with Side-Parted Bangs

#10: Trendy Ombre Bob with Light Bangs
Try a beautiful ombré bob with light bangs. A center part makes this cut strong but make sure your part is exactly where you want it when you get your haircut. I have found that the lack of layering can give you an overhang if you move your part to a different place. Having said that, one-length cuts are great for a sleek finish. Add ombré coloring and you will be ready to party.
#11: Sleek Bob with Bangs on Straight Hair
Go for a big chop with a sleek bob with bangs on straight hair. Black hair looks so bold and sleek and is 90s-inspired. A straight bob looks polished and glossy when paired with rich dark hair. A bob is low-maintenance and is totally trendy.

#13: Undone Wavy Bob with Piecey Bangs
An undone wavy bob with piecey bangs is a great-looking and easy style that you will want to try. The effortless finish gives this shape its beauty. If you have a natural wave, try air drying or scrunching in place with a diffuser. You can’t get much easier than that. An undone wavy bob should be styled flatter, so avoid creating too much volume.
#14: Loose Waves on Short Bobbed Hair with Bangs
If you’re looking for ways to style your new bobbed hair with bangs, try loose waves using a curling wand. It’s best for the low-maintenance beauty looking to just add a little spice to her hair for the day. Pair the loose waves with a volumizing, texture spray such as Beach Club from IGK.

Leave dead ends behind with tousled short hair with razor-cut layers. A short bob is amazing for fine hair and will give your strands life. Short bobs are totally trendy and will make your dead ends disappear. To make your layers more textured I would use a razor to rough up your hair strand. If you like more of a clean-cut end, do not use a razor.

A center-parted bob on brunette hair gives us major french-girl vibes. A bob that sits right at your jawline pulls focus to the lips and cheeks. Curtain bangs are a great option for this type of cut but full bangs would work just as well and it all depends on the final look you’re after.

#27: Shorter Layers and Bangs on a Bob Cut
When considering a shorter look, try a layered bob with bangs to enhance your facial features and frame your face shape. The layering on a bob is the optimal way to remove heaviness and gives it movement for style. When adding bangs that split in the middle, it can come and go as you let them grow out, or you can maintain them with bang trims.
#28: Razored French Bob with Soft Waves
A razored French bob with soft waves is a modern shape that you will want to try. The overall style is more organic, and dried flatter using the natural body of your hair. I recommend razor cutting to give your locks more texture and separation. Your razored French bob will be effortless to style using this technique.

#30: Short Hair with Jagged Layers and Bangs
For fabulous-looking locks, add jagged layers to your short hair with bangs. Haircuts and hairstyles that are short in length are easily managed and styled.

This haircut is a timeless, classy look that’s always in style.
#33: Classic Rounded Bob with See-Through Fringe
You might want to consider a rounded bob with a see-through fringe. When it comes to beauty in simplicity, a rounded bob has all the moves. A sleek and shiny shape with long layers is always a good choice for finer hair textures and the see-through fringe is the perfect accent. Your blow dry will be uncomplicated with a round brush, so if you are on the go, this is a great style choice.
#34: Vintage Bob Style with Blunt Bangs
Try a sassy vintage bob with blunt bangs if you want to show off your jaw and neck. Hairstyles with bangs are a great way to balance oblong faces. When styling, it helps to use a “flat wrap” blow-dry technique. To do this, use a flat brush to brush your hair flat against your head while following the brush with the blowdryer.
#35: Chin-Length Textured Bob With Side-Swept Bangs
Less common short bob hairstyles include side-swept bangs. The length of this bob can be slightly adjusted to suit your face shape. I would usually recommend keeping the bob a bit longer on rounder face shapes and shorter on longer face shapes. A longer side-swept bang is flattering on every face shape and is great for keeping your styling options open, as it can be worn curly or straight. In general, this cut works best on thinner hair. If your hair is thicker and you still want this look, consider talking to your stylist about an undercut, which can be a great option to achieve the look on thicker hair, and cut your blow-dry time in half!

#47: Effortless Face-Framing Bob
This look is effortlessly chic, sexy and, versatile! It’s a modern take on a classic shape, and a cut as timeless as the bob deserves to be played with. This can be achieved by creating a strong outline with zero tension, so your hair can move fluidly and sit where it wants to with ease, making it easy for my client to wear. Your stylist may use a razor comb to create soft texture and layers that can lie dormant until you want to show them off, sitting gently over the perimeter of your haircut waiting to be messed up or curled.
This cut is perfect for a lady with a busy lifestyle that still wants to look stylish with minimal fuss during the week. The beauty of this is that it can be as low or as high maintenance as you choose! If you want weekday effortlessness, use a sea spray or volume spray with a vent brush or diffuser for an instant “too cool to care” look. If you want full, smooth, and glam, use a large round brush and volumizing mousse for an instant boss lady! Or for somewhere in the middle use a large curling iron, with a heat protecting spray for gorgeous wavy locks that can be worn day to night.
#48: Blonde Asymmetrical Bob
This is an asymmetrical bob, meaning one side is longer than the other. What I love about this cut is that it’s a little bit edgy but you can tuck that longer side behind your ear or pin it back if you’re not feeling the edge as much on certain days.
This asymmetrical bob with bangs is for women who are strictly parting to one side. Because it is longer on one side you can’t move your part from left to right to middle without the cut looking a little wonky, but there are definitely different variations and you can really fine-tune this style to fit anyone. Another suggestion for this (and any cut) is to really pay attention to what products your stylist is using, ask what it is, what it does, why they’re using it.
#49: Trendy See-Through Bangs
Add some see-through bangs to match a chic, feminine short hairstyle. The perfect length and cut would be the neck-grazing one, which is tapered at the nape area. Textured edges are a plus to soften the perimeter of a lovely short layered bob with bangs like this one.
#50: Unique Inverted Bob With Straight Fringe
This short inverted bob is one that my client and I have been working towards for a while. She started her hair journey with long brown hair and have been working towards the platinum blonde for about 6 months now, going slow and steady to maintain healthy hair along the way.
This look is a commitment. The upkeep is something that is not ideal for every client in my chair. Appointments are long and every 5 weeks for both color and cut. If you are willing to put effort in styling and coming in for trims every 6 weeks then try it out. Short hair is such a fun change and can be tailored to any hair type. Products I recommend for my short hair clients are usually: scruff me L’Oréal professional, Aircraft R and Co, and Crepage de chignon L’Oréal professional.

Like what you see in this picture, the modern woman is wearing a blunt one length bob as an accessory to there eclectic, free-form and tactile fashion sensibility.

To style in a soft “S” wave, use a hot tool and finish with a matte texture creme or powder dry shampoo.
Bobs are excellent for all hair textures and most face shapes. If someone is a little rounder in the face, the right fringe can bring a lot of volume to the shape visually and a blunt bob with hair density neutralized can be slimming and suitable. Here are 3 questions to answer to determine if this cut is for you: do you work out, do you have small children, and how much time do you have to style in the morning.
