If you have fine hair and have been considering getting it cut into a bob, you may be wondering if this will work for your hair type. The great thing about the bob is that it can be adapted to work for fine hair, due to its versatility and all the different types of bobs that are available. There are also plenty of ways to style a bob to make it look fuller, for example, a wave to your hair will give finer hair body, no matter which bob style or length you opt for. As one of the most stylish hair salons in London (at our Fitzrovia salon) and Surrey (our Esher salon), we have listed our top ten bob hairstyles for fine hair below, to give you all the inspiration that you’ll need.

1. The classic bob

 The classic bob is one of the best bob hairstyles for fine hair. This is a timeless choice generally falling between the chin and shoulders. It’s even in length all around giving it a clean and polished appearance and making it easy to style. It’s great for fine hair because the blunt ends give structure and weight to the hair.

2. The shag bob

Shaggy bobs work wonderfully on fine hair as they offer volume and plenty of movement. You can go longish or short with plenty of layers. They work especially well on naturally wavy hair, enhancing its texture to create a fuller and thicker appearance allowing you to embrace and showcase the natural hair pattern.

3. Microbobs

Microbobs have risen in popularity this year, finishing around the jawline. Just a little longer than a pixie cut, micro bobs will suit fine hair as they can make your hair look thicker because your hair tends to be wispier on the ends and thicker at the roots.

4. Inverted bobs

Inverted bobs, also known as graduated bobs are making a comeback and they are such a flattering cut because they can be customised with different lengths and styles and can provide both casual and formal looks. The angular cut where you keep some length at the front, will give the illusion of thicker hair.

5. French bob

The French bob usually hits just below the jawline and features great face-framing layers and curtain bangs which can make your hair look thicker around your face. It’s supposed to be styled with a natural look, making it perfect for those with wavy or curly hair too. The choppy cut is ideal for finer hair as it gets rid of any lengthy weight for maximum volume.

6. Butterfly bob

When looking for the best bob hairstyles for fine hair, the butterfly bob is an exceptional choice. This kind of hairstyle will add movement, texture and volume to the hair. It provides an extra flair with blow-dried curtain bangs that frame the face, resembling butterfly wings, and providing a touch of volume. The layered style provides the fullness that fine-haired clients often struggle to achieve.

7. Outgrown bob

An outgrown bob has the ease of still being able to put it back in a ponytail. They can look stylish in an undone, more relaxed way and require less maintenance than other styles. These can work well with fine hair due to their versatility and work particularly well with more tousled, beachy looks.

8. Asymmetric bob

Asymmetrical bobs can be stunning on fine hair, as the uneven cut can create a sense of dimension and add volume. The angular style which features longer lengths in the front than the back, can highlight the thicker strands which frame the face, therefore diverting attention from any thinning at the crown.

9. Side parted bob

A side-parted bob can is one of our best bob hairstyles for fine hair. Generally, it can look less harsh than a middle-parted bob and create an instant lift to the hair. If your hair starts to drop, you can flip it to the other side. Side-parted bobs can look elegant and edgy at the same time making them a versatile choice.

10. Blunt cut bobs

Last but not least, blunt cuts have a solid, clean line that minimises split ends and frames the face beautifully. They can give the appearance of fuller hair as all the hair at the bottom gets cut off creating the impression of more depth.
