Extreme edges and ragged layers define this haircut. The asymmetrical bob goes a long way in softening faces with geometric edges. For a natural look, dump the heat styling tools and let your moody waves boss around.

    P.S. Play around with bangs and blow-dry them in the opposite direction to add an element of contrast.

    Ace the Look: Statement hair clips can keep your bangs off face during the 9 to 5 routine while also adding some pizzazz to the everyday look. We would vouch for the Elite Models (France) Designer Hair Jewellery Clips.

    Contemplating a bob cut but still not ready to go all the way in? Combine a long layered bob with side bangs for a relaxing yet chic appeal. Moreover, the flirty side swept bangs add width to face, which make it a flattering accent for long faces. You could train the side bangs over time by using a bobby pin to help them maintain their swoop. Good luck finding someone disapproving of this lob haircut as you would be hard-pressed to find one.

    P.S. To own the look, capture a selfie and check for the side that favors the deep side partition better in this long bob hairstyle.

The stacked layers give your hair a volume boost. Square faced women with broader jaw can go for this haircut to take away unnecessary attention from the jawline. Side braiding your hair is a great way to switch up how you wear this wavy bob. And did we tell you are spared of any heavy duty styling in this one?
