If you’re looking for the kind of hairstyle that’s long enough to blow in the wind, but short enough to not require a ton of time and attention in the mornings, you can never go wrong with a short blunt bob. It’s cute. It’s sleek. And it’s super modern. Plus, with the right stylist, it is really easy to maintain at home in between trims.

If you’ve been hesitant to go with this look because you think you might get bored after a couple of weeks, you’ve got to check these looks out. In just a few moments, you’ll see that a short bob can be just as versatile as just about any other hairstyle!

One of the hardest things is to wait for your hair to go from short to long. But when you’re rockin’ this particular look, the tapered neckline will make growing your hair out so aesthetically-appealing that you might decide to keep the short bob instead.

Choppy bob

There really is nothing new under the sun. That can be a good thing when it comes to beauty and fashion. Take this 60s-inspired bob, for example. It’s got just enough Carol Brady in it to be reminiscent of the past; however, with the long bang, it’s sexy enough to wear now.
