Most trends come and go; only some special ones, like the French bob cut, become favorites and stand the test of time. Here are the top French bob hairstyles that can give you inspiration for that classic elegance style or even a chic modern contemporary take.
25 Gorgeous French Bob Hairstyles
1. Classic French Bob
This style has been traditionally worn with bluntish, textured ends that graze the cheekbone. The tousled thick hair bob is also quintessentially seen with a form of bangs as well for a more detailed look.
2. French Bob With Shag Fringe
This wavy hair bob is a statement look that's made up of the volumizing curls and the retro shag fringe. Also, notice the beautiful dark copper hair shade that's making the short hair look pop!
3. Balayage Parisian French Bob
This sun-kissed balayage hair technique gives you a more natural appearance than just simply adding some highlights. Notice the addition of side bangs that make the look even more interesting!
4. French Bob Cut With Bangs
In this cut, the height on the crown can be created with the use of a texturizing spray and smart placement of layers. Additionally, the blunt bangs provide an eye-catching feature.
5. Straight Style
Even if you have straight hair, you can go with the classic style. The sleek, straight look feels much lighter than the other French bob counterparts.
6. Bouncy Bob
This blonde hair looks extra playful with its angled volume, which frames your face beautifully. The long, wispy bang strands add a softer touch to the rest of the lively look. Garren, celebrity hairstylist and the co-founder of R+Co, an award-winning hair care brand, comments on how to get that bouncy look in a French Bob Hairstyle:
“Use your hands or a large-tooth comb to give bounce, instead of a brush.”
7. Bangs+Flippy Ends
Aside from the heavy bangs, the texturized curly-flippy ends are the heart of this look. The combination is perfect for women looking to add a vintage-inspired chic touch to their look.
8. Wavy Layered Hair
Another thick hair French bob cut that is super popular, this layered cut that ends around your cheekbones looks not only super modern but even saves time. Aaron Grenia, stylist and founder of IGK salons, comments on how to achieve those perfect waves in a French bob haircut:
“You can also use some texturizing spray to enhance your natural waves.”
9. Lived-In-Haircut
This Parisian French bob cut shows that even short hair can look extremely voluminous and stylish when the combination of soft layers and subtle movement is added for a relaxed appearance.
10. Curtain Bangs+Highlights
While we have seen curtain bangs going amazingly with the French bob cut, there's also another hair addition that you should think about pairing up, as brown hair highlights on black hair that makes your look particularly chic-er.
11. Bedhead-Look
The straight-out-of-bed hair is on trend right now. The subtle wave and rustic texture add just enough movement for gals who like a toned-down French Bob style.
12. French Bob For Curly Hair
The curly hair look is a much more bouncier look than a normal short French bob. This is a flattering option for both women, whether they have naturally curly hair or have achieved it with hair products.
13. Razor Cut
French bob cuts that are achieved with the rougher technique of hair razors give you a more edgy hairstyle that doesn't come out too dramatic!
14. Thin Hair Bob
The thing about short French bobs is that it suit almost all hair types, so even if you have thin or fine hair, you can opt for it and it'll look amazing. Pro tip: Go for some choppy bangs as well for a more defining look.
15. Grown-Out Bob
If toys are at your hair-growing stage, then don't worry, you can still have the trendy hairstyle as you pair it with some classic long bangs.
16. With Full-Forehead Fringe
The fringe adds depth to this black hair French bob. The combination of flicked-out ends and the bangs provides both movement and texture to the hairstyle.
17. Micro Fringe
Another style statement of the season is… the micro fringe. So, if you want to look exceptionally well on trend, why not combine your French bob with this popular bold option as well for a truly striking appearance?
18. Texturized Look
For an in-depth, exceptionally layered French bob, it would be highly recommended to ask your stylist to play with your tresses and add additional texture with the help of hair products and specific hair placement.
19. Side-Parted Bob
You can always trust a side or deep side part in wavy, straight, or curly hair to make your short hair look fuller. It’s an excellent hair feature for both formal and informal events.
20. Middle Part
This is a fairly simple look in comparison to other features we have seen, but it's just right when you want something chic that's not too “loud”. With the straight, short hair length, you'll save a lot of time styling.
21. Accessorized Hair
Whether it be a hat or a hairband, you can transform any black, blonde, or brown hair French bob with some accessories! This customization adds just the right flair for any occasion.
22. Colored Bob
Elevate your look with a bright dye that looks super youthful. The French bob is often seen with a sophisticated charm but this playful take looks just as beautiful with the cut.
23. With-See-Through-Fringe
This extra element allows your haircut to look more elegant and polished. It's nice for gals with fine hair; they don't have to cover the full forehead like the traditional fringe cut!
24. Messy style
The wavy layered hair look is stealing the spotlight not only because of the texture and the fabulous brown hair choice but also because it embodies the vibe of a laid-back French bob phenomenally.
25. Split Dye
The tresses's split dye can be created with bright or subtle shades. The colors should be chosen based on your natural hair and skin tone, which will create a multidimensional look for your French bob!
