Who can think of anything more iconic in the beauty realm than Marilyn Monroe’s classic blonde bob? Whether she was seductively serenading the president or singing about how diamonds are a girl’s best friend, she always managed to look stunning. Today, this short blonde cut is still a sexy option for women looking to turn heads for all of the right reasons. Check out the best blonde bob hairstyles below.
1. Messy Blonde Bob with Blunt Ends
Messy hairstyles are super trendy right now, and when you add in blonde hair color, you will love the final result. You will enjoy this stylish everyday look as it suits every occasion; plus, it is easy to style and maintain.
2. Short Layered Bob with Full Bangs
This bob is layered yet sleek and features full feathered bangs in the front. If you like to be different, this is an unusual new take on the classic bob hairstyle. Pair it with a statement blonde color to make even more of a statement.
3. Side Part Bob with Highlights
A traditional bob looks great with dark hair, but it looks even better with a few bright blonde highlights. Ask your colorist to place lighter shades towards your face and blend the highlights throughout the rest of the hair to complete the look.
4. Neck-Length Bob with Framing Highlights
Show off the shape of your cool lob cut with well-blended face-framing streaks. The short style enables you to use the power of trendy blonde highlights to draw attention to your face. Here, the bright blonde hair immediately directs you to the wearer’s eyes.
5. Blonde Bob with Lagoon Blue Locks
How gorgeous does this cool blonde hair color look when paired with lagoon blue block highlights? Vibrant and full of glow, this magnificent bob hairstyle will sure get you noticed. Complement your look with matching make-up to draw even more attention.
6. Tousled Beach Babe Lob
Dirty blonde locks and relaxed waves give this lob an effortless feel. Steer away from heavy layers to show off the thickness of your hair but go for shaggy highlighted ends to get a bright modern look. Keep your waves tousled to convey that beach babe charm.
7. Blonde Lob with Long Curtain Mangs
For those who want a flowing hairstyle, a bob can sound too rigid. However, a haircut with long curtain bangs can let you easily achieve that flowy blown-out look and even experiment with hair parting. The key here is a symmetrical cut with a few long layers in the front.
8. Short Honey Blonde Bob with Layers
If you wear traditional short bob hairstyles for a longer time, it is easy to get bored. A few layers to the top and dimensional highlights can immediately refresh the cut. Spritz your hair with a little hairspray or apply mousse to define the layers.
9. Gorgeous Medium Length Look
If you want a longer cut with a nice texture and silhouette, try a medium-length style with front layers, like in the photo. Heavy layers and dark roots will help the look maintain its shape and lovely appearance as it’s growing out.
10. Butter Blonde Bob with a Fringe
Spice up a short blonde bob with straight eyebrow-skimming bangs for a cute girly look. The chin-length cut creates a sweet frame to the face and the wispy fringe draws attention to facial features, such as eyes and cheekbones.
