Bob with straight bangs
This type of bangs came to us from the classic bob haircut. Straight bangs in a bob can be thick or medium volume, with an even or arched cut, length to the eyebrows, to the middle of the forehead or short. Thick straight bangs, as a rule, originate from the top of the head, due to this the artist models the oval of the face and adds volume to the hair. An even cut in bangs is most typical for classic bob haircuts or variations, where the stylist strives to adhere to strict lines. An arched cut is made on a classic, raised, elongated bob with bangs. The arch allows you to achieve a smooth transition into the overall haircut, smooth out the lines, and adjust the proportions. Straight bangs are preferably laid flat and smooth with slightly rounded ends. However, there are also options where the ends of the bangs have strictly laid down ends, without rounding.
Bob with milled bangs
This type of bob with bangs stands apart from the classic straight variations of cutting. Reinforced thinning of the bangs can give the appearance and hairstyle a completely new outline, making the entire haircut more airy, light and relaxed. Before creating such a bang, the master draws up its main length. The bangs may have a straight cut or uneven, torn elements. Next, it undergoes enhanced thinning.
Ultimately, the master creates a hairstyle in which the bangs only slightly accentuate attention and gently frame the face. Fileted bangs are most typical for raised bobs, asymmetrical bobs, double bobs, bobs, bobs with legs and even classics. Such bangs are laid carelessly and randomly, straight or on the side with an oblique parting, and they try to lift the root zone to enlarge the crown.
Oblique, asymmetrical, torn bangs perfectly refresh a bob haircut and gently correct some features of the appearance. Such bangs can be interestingly styled and colored, creating a textured and layered effect.
Bob with torn bangs
Torn elements in bangs are one of the most popular trends in recent seasons. Such bangs are formed by creating feathers from strands, sharp transitions in hair length, asymmetrical lines and accents. The classic, or French, bob with medium bangs and symmetrical feathers looks very unusual and interesting. In this situation, bangs draw attention to themselves, remove unnecessary severity and regularity of lines, and add zest to an ordinary model haircut. Its styling implies an elongated, straight shape and slightly rounded ends.
Asymmetrical bangs, where the feathers have different lengths, are suitable for almost any variation of the bob, with the possible exception of strict classics. The length of the bangs can vary from short-cut strands to feathers extending below the eyebrow line. It is most convenient to style such a bob with bangs on the side. However, to create a slightly careless, hooligan style, you can also style your bangs without a certain slope, randomly, with a slight emphasis upwards.
Bob with side bangs
Oblique bangs in a bob appeared due to the need to correct and shape the proportions of women who do not have an ideal oval face. Moreover, oblique bangs can hide unnecessary details, as well as transform the boring image of a classic silhouette beyond recognition. Oblique bangs look especially impressive on graduated (cascading) and classic bobs of medium or elongated shape. On a short bob, oblique bangs will look quite catchy, extravagant and youthful. Cutting lines and lengthening hair can be smooth, gradual and soft or sharp and harsh with the addition of jagged ends.
Another interesting version of oblique cutting involves creating bangs that have an angular shape and the length of the hair between the eyebrows is longer than on the sides. This type of bangs goes straight and smooth. All other variations of side bangs are almost always laid on the side. Sometimes the parting line is moved slightly closer to the center and the bangs are divided into two parts. In this case, oblique cutting begins from the division line.
Long bangs will suit any type of bob. For curly hair, such bangs are also a good option that can transform a haircut and make the image more romantic and gentle.

Elongated bangs have a lot of advantages and benefits: they frame the face advantageously and correct proportions, transform the appearance, make it sexy and bright, and also suit any type of hair, even curly. With long bangs, any bob will look special. Such bangs can be straight, stepped, or with the addition of feathers and asymmetry. As a rule, they try to graduate elongated bangs. This helps to fit it into the overall head of hair, as well as create the necessary accents in the hairstyle.
A stepped effect with a neat transition in the length of the bangs is in high demand when creating a bob. Asymmetry and a torn effect in long bangs are most often characteristic of youthful, short, dynamic bob haircuts. The styling of a bob with elongated bangs is very diverse. The master can divide the bangs into two parts with a middle parting, lay them completely on the side, raise the bangs and pin them on the top of the head, make a braid or lightly curl them. It all depends on the occasion, celebration, idea and convenience.

Original hairstyles with short bangs
Important! If you want to correct your face using mini-bangs, in this case you should definitely contact a professional hairdresser-stylist who will select the correct width and shape of such a hairstyle.
Short bangs are a stellar example of a haircut
Unfortunately, haircuts with short bangs do not suit all girls. For example, for owners of a round and square face shape, a “protruding” nose, a high forehead and curly hair, they are categorically not suitable, as soon as they focus attention on these shortcomings.
Coloring a bob with bangs
Hair color for a bob with bangs plays an important role. Stylists recommend paying attention to the shape of the future haircut and the preferred style of its owner before dyeing the hair and bangs. Thick, straight or slightly profiled bangs in classic bobs will look great in one color.
Several shades of hair, using, for example, the balayage technique in a bob with bangs, will look great on elongated, asymmetrical or oblique bangs. Highlighting or ombre in a bob with bangs can also fit interestingly into the overall look of the haircut. These techniques allow you to create a multi-layered play of shades not only at the ends of the hair, but also on bangs of different lengths. Uneven hair color in bangs will create a feeling of extra volume and texture.
Contrasting and catchy color combinations are suitable for asymmetrical bangs, torn elements, extravagant and youthful bob options. You can make individual strands on your bangs and the overall length of your hair brighter. A classic haircut takes on a more flirty look if you dye several individual locks of bangs in brighter shades. However, this option falls into the category of quite risky and largely depends on the experience and dexterity of the hairdresser. Women of advanced age should definitely not get carried away with dyeing this way.
It is better to dye straight thick bangs in a classic or strict cascading bob in a single color.
Fashionable haircut styling options
With an elongated bob, every girl looks stylish, with a little knowledge and practice it is easy to create a great look. Hair styling is the basis of care; if it is ignored, the neatness of the hairstyle is lost, which does not bring the most pleasant experience.
It is worth noting that it is performed depending on the situation:
- For everyday use.
- For evening dresses.
In the first case, naturalness is welcomed, when you need to look at ease. Foam is applied to damp hair, then the hair is thoroughly dried in a chaotic manner. If you use a round brush while blow-drying, you can curl the ends in or out. For perfect smoothness, use a straightener with a ceramic coating so as not to harm the hair.
Other styling options are used for evening dresses. For celebration, the strands are curled and the hair at the roots is lightly combed. They are fixed into the required shape using invisible pins, pins, and decorative varnish. If a romantic date is planned, then clean hair is twisted into curling irons, and the strands are also laid on one side, then secured with bobby pins. The weaving of the front curls with fixation at the back of the head looks original.
The haircut is unlikely to lose its relevance due to the large number of advantages. Stylists advise experimenting with an elongated bob, giving the image a new look with the help of bangs, as well as special techniques. Feel free to choose your favorite option to be irresistible, elegant or mysterious.
