If haircuts had a hall of fame, the bob with bangs would be enshrined in platinum. She's chic, sharp, and always on the cutting edge (literally). From the French-girl fringe to micro-bangs that scream main character energy, this dynamic duo has officially entered its renaissance era.
So, whether you're craving curtain-bang drama or a blunt bang look, these bob-and-bang combos are here to ~part ways~ with boring hair and ~snip~ your style into high gear. Trust us–your selfie game is about to have a major plot twist.
Parted bangs
Not quite as bouncy as curtain bangs, nor as thick as Bardot bangs, this widely parted fringe is subtle, yet effortlessly face-framing.
Taylor Swift bangs
Taylor Swift circa 2016 Reputation era was a whole vibe – and so was her textured lob and bangs.
Jenna Ortega bangs
Jenna Ortega's bob-meets-wolf cut was elevated with piecey bangs, making for texture upon texture.
Dua Lipa bangs
Remember when Dua Lipa shocked the world with a full fringe and long black bob (albeit a wig)? Yeah, well, we're still thinking about it...
Curly bangs
Bangs aren't just for straight hair types, and this is the perfect example. Remember: Don't go too short as when dry, your curls will shrink!
Grown out bangs
Eye-grazing bangs aren't for the faint-hearted, but they sure do make a statement. The look is equal parts sexy and chic.
Piecey bangs
Bangs can get a bad rep (I'm taking the blocky blunt fringe we all had as a toddler). But piecey bangs say otherwise; it's a low-effort, high-impact style.
Gradient bangs
Gradient bangs, also known as angled or layered bangs, involve cutting the hair in a way that gradually transitions from longer to shorter lengths, creating a soft, blended look rather than a blunt line.
Blunt bob and bangs
A blunt bob calls for a blunt bang – together, this is a striking look. Clean cut AF.
Halo hair
A curly halo bob (that frames the face like a halo) pairs perfectly with a fringe that sits mid-forehead. Per this gorgeous cut.
Gradient 2.0
This style is like the classic gradient cut, but shorter. It's angled and gradually transitions from shorter to longer lengths, creating a soft, blended look rather than a blunt line. However, here, it's a tad shorter.
Flicky bob x micro fringe
I've never envied a hairstyle more than this one. The flicky ends of this bob length pairs so well with the blunt micro fringe.
Undone bob and bangs
This messy bob and bangs hairstyle is giving 'I woke up like this' making for a low-maintenance style that'll only get better with length.
Bouffant bob and bangs
The bouffant bob with bangs is pure vintage drama – think 60s screen siren meets modern-day glam. With its teased crown and voluminous shape, this style adds instant height and attitude, while the bangs keep it playful and polished.
Soft waves
Soft waves paired with a mid-length fringe strike the perfect balance between effortless and editorial. The texture is cool, while the brow-grazing bangs frame the face with a laid-back, lived-in edge.
French bob and baby bangs
It’s equal parts Parisian poetry and punk energy; the French bob is the ultimate cool-girl cut. The barely-there bangs also make a big statement (with the cheekbones suddenly looking very editorial).
Curled ends
This inward-curled bob with matching bangs is the definition of polished perfection. With every end tucked just-so, it channels vintage glam with a modern, power-move twist.
Shaggy wolf bob
This shaggy, wolf-inspired bob is a wild-child twist on the classic cut – choppy layers, undone texture, and bangs that are the epitome of rebellion.
Curls for days
The coily bob with bangs is a celebration of natural texture and bold style, full of volume, bounce, and personality. This look embraces every curl with playful fringe that frames the face, proving that short hair can be just as fierce and fun as it is flawless.
Thick, textured bob
A thick textured bob turns volume into a statement. It’s the perfect blend of bold fullness and effortless cool.
