A layered bob is one of the easiest ways to refresh your look after 50. It adds movement to the hair, softens facial features and can make fine or thinning hair appear fuller. Whether you prefer a polished finish or an effortless style there is a layered bob that suits your lifestyle. Below are 25 beautiful layered bob ideas to help you find your next haircut.
1. Layered bob with side swoop bangs
Side swoop bangs soften your forehead and draw attention to your eyes. This style flatters round, square and heart shaped faces while giving fine hair extra movement. It is easy to style with a round brush and works well for both casual and formal occasions.
2. Saggy layered bob

This cut creates that effortless movement with very little effort.
3. Layered brunnet bob
A rich brunette shade makes layered cuts look deeper and shinier. This haircut suits most face shapes and pairs beautifully with natural makeup or bold lipstick. Ask your stylist to add soft layers around your face for extra softness.

Want to frame your face without committing to heavy bangs? Curtain bangs blend smoothly into layered bobs and highlight your cheekbones.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton often recommends face framing layers because they create a softer and more youthful appearance.

Loose texture gives this bob a youthful and carefree finish. A little texturizing spray is enough to create volume within minutes. This style looks especially beautiful with casual outfits and works well for women with naturally wavy hair
