Blunt Bob: Blunt bob is the classic bob, and to get a new bob hairstyle with the blunt bob look, try these ideas. Get your hair cut into a blunt bob and then pair it with Cleopatra style bangs. Don't keep the length of the hair below chin length. But, if you want longer bob hairstyles then go with inverted or layered styles.

Bowl Bob: For this bob one needs straight hair, as you can see in the picture of bowl bob above. In this bob the hair are cut into layers in such a way that the hair looks like a thick mass that is round in shape. This bob is generally kept a bit below the ears. Also, this bob is accompanied with straight and curved bangs which adds to the bowl shape of the hairstyle. People who get this bob many times dye their hair total black.

Inverted Bob: Inverted bobs are the most popular hairstyles. These look really cool and can be cut either asymmetrically or symmetrically. To get a balanced neat look, cut your hair near the nape of the neck short and the sides longer and keep them symmetrical. Symmetrical bobs are also many times called A line bobs. However, for an edgy more stylish look, go with asymmetrical long inverted bob. Cut one side long and touching the shoulder, and keep one side chin length. Sweeping side bangs look good with this inverted bob hairstyles.

Unusual Bob: As you can see in the picture above of 'long symmetrical bob' two long strands of hair are maintained on both sides. This makes the bob look unique and interesting. Many people tend to go for long asymmetrical bobs too for a unique look, while some people dye half the bob in black and the other half blonde. This can give a trendy and unique look. However, make sure you seek advice from a hairstylist for such a bold look.

Layered Bob: This is another great bob style. To get layered bob haircuts get choppy layers done in your hair. If you want you can accompany your choppy bob with a razor cut for a sleek look, and cut your bangs choppy too. For this haircut, the stylist will first cut your hair into the preferred length, then hold a hair section at an angle, tilt the scissor and make the cut. This way all the hair sections will be cut in different length, to get the choppy effect.

Stacked Bob: Combine a stacked bob with an inverted bob and you have a fresh looking stacked bob haircut. So, first get the hair cut short near the nape of the neck and the hair on the sides longer (asymmetrical or symmetrical). After this the stylist will give you layers at the back side of the crown. It will be done in such a way that the hair will look stacked. A short side blunt bangs style will look nice with this cut.

Romantic/Curly Bob: Romantic bobs are beautiful short bobs that look extremely cute. To go for a romantic bob, either you will need curly hair or will need to style your hair curly. Soft body curls look awesome with this style. If you don't have curly hair, then use these tips to curl your hair. On wet hair apply a curling hair serum which has a strong hold, alternatively, you can also use a sea salt spray. Then scrunch your hair, and let them dry naturally to get soft body curls. So, once you have cut your hair into a layered or inverted bob, style your hair curly, and wear this beautiful look. You can also style your hair into pin curls, if you want that 1920s effect. For that you will need to roll damp hair, and stick them with bobby pins and keep it overnight.
So, what are you waiting for? Select one style that you like the most, and go to a good stylist. Get your haircut done, and sport your fresh new look. To add more to your style, you can wear some hair accessories too.
