Rocking a short pixie has never looked fresher than with this swooping side-swept style. The longer pieces on top create fabulous movement, while the tapered sides keep things super sleek. This cut works well on fine hair by creating natural volume at the crown. For that salon-fresh look, flip your brush upward while blow-drying to get maximum lift at the roots.

10. Wavy Bob

Hello, gorgeous waves that look totally effortless but pack major style points. The minimal layers create natural volume while keeping the shape lifted but not too triangular. A 1-inch curling iron is perfect for recreating these soft, bouncy waves.

11. Short Rounded Layers

13. Piecey Pixie

The piecey texture of this pixie has defined layers that give each strand its moment to shine. The short, sharp length is offset by the playful, separated texture.

16. Short Rounded Layers With Bangs

This sassy number rocks subtle layers that create a gorgeous lift while keeping your styling time down to a minimum. A quick dry with your blow dryer and a round brush gives you that perfect roundness that looks totally natural. Try cocktailing some volumizing mousse (yes, mousse!) with a tiny drop of smoothing cream – your hair will have fantastic body without feeling sticky or heavy.

17. Tapered Layers With Bangs

This cut is like a study in contrasts – tapered layers add definition and structure, while the soft bangs create a sense of balance. (The tapering ensures that the cut feels modern and light, never heavy or outdated.) Whether you wear it sleek or add texture, this cut always looks styled and chic.

18. Side-Swept Asymmetrical Pixie

Make a fashion statement with an asymmetrical pixie like this. The longer side swept pieces create impressive height, while the shorter tapered side keeps things ultra-sleek. Those piecey layers on top give you multiple styling options – you can sweep them forward, flip them up, or brush them back.

19. Textured Layers With Blunt Bangs

This bouncy textured bob is serving major hair goals with its perfectly blended layers and face-flattering shape. The soft, blunt bangs create great movement. The chin-length cut hits at just the right spot. The best part is that this style looks even better with that imperfect, somewhat messy, so don’t stress about getting it exactly right!

20. Curly Layered Bob

Layers are cut to boost your curls, creating a shape that flatters a round face. The layers keep the curls light and airy, so they look defined and never weighed down. With this cut, every day feels like a good hair day.

21. Center Parted Bob

There’s something timeless about a center part paired with a straight bob like this. The way the hair naturally falls around your jawline gives this style a soft, balanced feel. Straight textures shine with this cut – literally – so add a few drops of hair oil or shine serum to keep those strands silky and reflective.

Tip: Use your flat iron on the lowest heat setting to seal those cuticles and lock in the shine.

22. Layered Bob With Bangs

Feathered pieces create attractive depth and texture, while those face-framing bits add such stunning softness. The bangs create a soft frame for your features but don’t feel too heavy. The perfect frame for round faces.

23. Classic Bob With Bangs

This classic bob might feel timeless, but it’s anything but boring. Whether your hair is naturally sleek or you need a little help from your flat iron, this look is all about precision with the piecey, blunt bangs. (Try a dry shampoo at the roots between washes to give you that perfect French-girl texture that’s totally trending right now.)

24. Rounded Pixie

Rounded layers hug the natural curve of your head, creating a soft shape, especially in the light blonde shade. It’s a style that works whether you want to keep it neat or mess it up for a little extra edge. A dab of styling cream is all you need to keep those layers smooth and in place.

25. Choppy Highlighted Bob

This stylish bob features choppy layers and highlights that help create the look of length while softening full cheeks. The asymmetrical cut with its longer pieces in front draws the eye downward, effectively elongating a round face shape. The textured ends and dimensional shade add movement and volume at the crown, which helps balance facial proportions.

26. Wavy Pixie

This wavy pixie is your go-to if you want to show off your cheekbones. Soft, feathered pieces around the temples minimize width at the sides. Plus, short sides that hug the face create sleek angles that slim full cheeks.

27. Cropped Layers With Subtle Highlights

Cropped layers never looked so flattering (especially with the subtle pops of brightness). Side-swept bangs add asymmetry that draws attention up. The chin-length cut hits at the perfect spot to create a face-lengthening line.

28. Wispy Bob

This angled bob haircut creates diagonal lines that naturally slim the face. It’s ideal for straight or slightly wavy hair, where the natural texture can shine without too much effort. This cut is all about soft finishes and subtle edges, making it perfect for women who want something simple yet impactful.

29. Wavy Layers With Bangs

Layering reduces thickness at the cheeks where round faces need it most. The length hits perfectly at the jawline for ideal proportions. This style is fabulous for naturally wavy hair, but a curling wand can easily mimic the effect if you want a more defined texture.

30. Textured Side-Parted Pixie

The swept-up styling adds height that elongates the face. Textured layers prevent the style from appearing too severe or wide, and close-cropped sides slim the face’s widest points. It’s a style that works for thick or fine hair – volume where you want it, control where you need it.

31. Textured Piecey Pixie

Razored edges create strong angles that counter roundness. The deep side part adds asymmetry for the face-slimming effect, and longer, piecey bangs break up the forehead width. The tapered neckline creates a sleek, elongated shape. Bottom line? It’s a confident and sophisticated style.
