Inverted and Staggered Short Bobs

One of the best short hairstyles for women looking to strike a careful balance between sophistication and beauty. This particular short hairstyle has become popular recently. It seems like all the A-list celebrities are sporting it, Kiera Knightly is one example, Jennifer Lawrence another. This has detracted from the uniqueness of the cut a touch but who cares when you're looking this fabulous? This will take a bit of setting up in the morning, but the results are worth it.

Bobs are strictly just one single length but this doesn't give much scope for inventiveness so we've included variations like layers and slight bangs.

Natural and No-fuss

See this excellent, natural and no-fuss finish? The shaggy and curved layers are fabulously paired with an unstructured loose bob. When you sport this ruffled bob and chic soft waves, you'll seem like you're walking with effortless and relaxed grace. The soft waves will perfectly blend well with straight feathered edged bangs swept to one side.

Achieve this stylish straight bob haircut through the use of the zigzag or staggered parting technique. Stylists will divide the lengths of the hair with the pointed end of the comb and smooth the tresses with an anti-frizz product. Girls with fine hair would look great sporting this bob because it provides a not so fly-away finish created with movement and texture.

If you want to define that great bone structure, choose this curved bob. This will frame your pretty face with the blunt-edged chop creating a soft and exquisite finish. Sides are cut a little longer to achieve a feminine wave that lies on the check while the back is layered and shaped.

Blunt, Choppy and Inverted

The fifth example here is suitable for older women, it would work equally on someone younger, so it would work for everyone. This is one of the many-layered hairstyles in this gallery, although unlike some of the others, this is much easier to maintain.
