15 Blonde Bob Hairstyles You Can’t Help But Love
The iconic blonde bob is back and to say we’re obsessed is an understatement.
And it’s not just us. It seems celebrities are loving blonde bobs this season, as we saw Florence Pugh debut her sleek bob in New York in April 2023, followed by Kourtney Kardashian Barker taking to Instagram to show off her platinum bedhead bob in June 2023.
Ready for your blonde bob era to begin? Take note of our top hairstyles that guarantee to turn heads wherever you go…
1. Loose Waves Bob
A blonde balayage bob that’s been loosely tousled is the perfect pick for amping up your look. Serving you effortlessly chic vibes all day long, this bob hairstyle is easy to maintain and looks appropriately elegant for every occasion.
2. Choppy Bob
If you’re seeking a hairstyle with movement, ask your stylist to cut some choppy, graduated layers into a blunt blonde bob. Coupled with a variety of blonde highlights, this will create your desired effect of volume and dimension.
Editor’s tip: Use a few drops of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Oil before styling to achieve shiny and smooth hair in no time.
3. Glamorous Bob
Get ready to up the glamour with this dazzling bob, which promises to put you centre-stage. You’ll want to ask your stylist for a slightly longer, shoulder-grazing cut, styled with a deep side parting. Mix warm shades of blonde for a honey blonde hue and blowdry with a round brush to create bouncy curls and uplifted roots.
Tip: To help complement your facial features, opt for an array of blonde highlights. For a flattering look, ask your colourist to use the lightest shades of blonde on the front sections of hair to frame your face.
4. Platinum Blonde Bob
If you want a bright, head-turning look, then this platinum blonde bob is for you. This all-over colour requires some upkeep, but we think you’ll agree, the results are totally worth it.
5. Bleach Blonde Bob
Jump on the bleach blonde bandwagon, just like Kourtney Kardashian Barker, and opt for a sultry bleach blonde bob. We say it’s perfect if you want to give your hair some pizzazz this season.
6. Wavy and Blunt Bob
A blunt cut that falls just below the chin will let your gorgeous waves do all the talking. To help your locks look calm and under control, we recommend you could also work in some subtle layers. You can thank us later.
Want to achieve a wavy bob like the one in the picture? Try TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse while styling, whose humidity-resistant formula helps styling and giving your hair the extra oomph.
7. Dark Roots Bob
Gone are the days where we keep our roots hidden! That’s right, we’re urging you to embrace your roots and let them show in their full glory. The contrast looks stunning with a blonde bob, giving the impression of more volume and vibrancy.
8. Messy Bob
For a messy and textured look, spritz some texturising hairspray through your hair. Then, use your fingers to scrunch the product in and create movement by gently tousling and pulling it in different directions.
9. Platinum Ponytail Bob
Believe it or not, bobs can work a treat when pulled back into a half-up hairstyle, like this gorgeous ponytail. Remember to keep your ponytail low at the back and leave a few strands free at the front. It really doesn’t get any chicer than this quick-fix hairstyle.
10. Shag Cut Bob
Featuring choppy layers of varying lengths, a shag cut gives the illusion that your hair is shorter than it actually is – so it’s a great option if you’re not quite ready to go for a full-on bob. Why not throw a long, parted fringe into the mix, which makes for an effortless, bedhead finish.
11. Warm Toned Bob with Volume
To create this gorgeous, bouncy bob, curl the ends of your hair with a curling tong for definition, then sprinkle some of texturising dust throughout your mane. Finish by backcombing the roots and you’ll achieve a seriously dramatic lift.
12. Curly Bob
Curly hair girls, unite! We’re here to normalise sporting a bob cut with your natural hair texture. The good news is, a blonde bob will get a major volume boost from the coils in your strands, while the short length is easy to maintain and go about your day with. So basically, its a win-win situation!
13. Wispy Lob
Similar to that of the shag cut, this wispy lob (AKA a long bob) is the perfect everyday look. Possibly the most versatile of all the blonde bob variations, it can be worked and styled in so many ways, thanks to its longer length. We love the look just how it’s meant to be – down, wavy and with your natural roots peeping through for some colour variation.
14. Yellow Toned Bob
Did you know yellow toned bobs are also super hot right now? Once your stylist develops the right hue for you, you can style it at home by lightly curling your locks for added movement.
15. Hat Hair Bob
Even if you’re not a hat girl, we implore you to try it with your blonde bob. Get the look by gently curling your tresses using a curling wand, then run your finger through your hair and finish with a spritz of sea salt spray. Then, put your favourite bucket hat, fedora hat or sports cap on. There you have it, a blonde bob look you can sport every day.
