Classic Box Bob

Keke Palmer’s bob is as boxy as they come. And while the blunt, one-length style certainly hosts appeal all on its own, the addition of her favorite copper hair color makes it even more exciting. Maybe book a cut and color next time you’re at the salon?

Box Bob and Bangs

We loved Ayo Edebiri’s bob on its own, but the addition of some cute French girl bangs made it even better. It’s also fun to note how you can pull the style back to make it your own.

Jaw-Skimming Box Bob

Here, Hailey Bieber is rocking a jaw-skimming, blunt cut. “The best product to finish off her style with would be a texture spray,” Mader says. “This allows her to have that effortless look that she pulls off so well.” We suggest using Oribe’s Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray.

Asymmetrical and Blunt Box Bob

Lori Harvey’s perfectly glossy box bob convinced us we all need to cut our hair. “To create this asymmetrical look, straighten the hair with the GHD Platinum Plus Iron and slightly bend the iron towards your face at the ends to get that face-framing effect,” Mader explains. Give your hair an extra touch of shine with Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Moisture & Shine Hair Sheen.

Pop Star Box Bob

I’m sure you can tell Gracie Abrams is a pop star by her glimmering halter top, but if you were a little confused about her profession, the hair would definitely give it away. Her signature style falls right at chin length and looks good tousled like this orworn sleek and straight.

Messy Box Bob

An effortless messy bob like Aimee Song’s can be achieved using a light-hold product like The Mane Choice’s Tropical Moringa Sweet Oil & Honey Endless Moisture Restorative Spray.

“When styling the front of your hair, be sure to curl your pieces away from your face allowing your hair to give you that elevated cheekbone look,” Mader says.

Blunt and Casual Box Bob

TyLynn Nguyen looks fabulous in a box bob, and luckily, hers is super easy to recreate. “I recommend using a shine spray and a flat iron for this look,” Myss Monique explains. After applying a mist like Hair Proud’s Glass Hair Heat Activated Smoothing Shine Spray, tuck some strands behind your ears and call it a day.

Sleek and Straight Box Bob

You can’t go wrong with a sleek and straight box bob. Emma Chamberlain’s style is incredibly easy to maintain with a few simple products. “For this sleek and shiny style, I would finish with Color Wow’s Pop n Lock Shine Serum, which leaves you with red carpet shiny-looking hair,” Mader shares.

Shoulder-Length Box Bob

If you aren’t quite ready for a classic chin-length bob, opt for something like Ashley Benson’s low-maintenance, shoulder-length box bob instead. “Her effortless cool girl waves are perfect for this length,” Mader says. “I would use the GHD Platinum Plus Styler to create slight bends in the hair.”

Swept Away Box Bob

Volume? Check. Bounce? Check. Kerry Washington’s box bob features a deep side part that pays homage to the classic, old Hollywood style. “For this swept-away bob, it’s all about the cut,” Myss Monique shares. “Long, layered bangs will help you achieve this look using a large barrel iron, rollers, or a blowout.”

Mid-Length Box Bob

A short box bob isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so if you want to get the same style with a bit more length, just look to Shanina Shaik for inspo. “The flip at the ends of her hair gives it that fun and flirty look while the two braids elevate the look to a more cool girl, edgy style,” Mader says. “To lock in the braids, use a tail comb to backcomb the bottom of the braid and mist on some hair spray. That way, the braids are seamless, and no elastics are needed.”

Sultry and Side Swept Box Bob

Ciara can do no wrong with this jaw-skimming box bob. The cut frames her features beautifully and the deep side part and voluminous face framing bang adds some necessary edge to complement her look.

Textured Layer Box Bob

Elsa Hosk nails the box bob trend with her textured look. Her volume can easily be achieved with a product like Sachajuan’s Ocean Mist Volume Hair Mousse. Mader adds, “Elsa Hosk’s cut emphasizes her medium to thick hair with some textured layers at the bottom. To create her effortless bend in her hair, I would go in with a two-inch curling iron to give off that looser, undone curled look.” Kristin Ess’ Soft Bend Titanium Curling Iron is perfect for recreating this style.

Short and Sweet Box Bob

Angela Bassett’s box bob is perfection. From the shine to the curled in ends, to the center part, she makes this short style look so elegant.

Bombshell Blowout Box Bob

Zendaya nails the box bob cut with a bouncy blowout that accentuates her facial structure. “To achieve this bombshell blowout, apply conditioner to damp hair and use a large roller brush when blow drying,” Myss Monique says. “Set with large rollers to execute the look.”

Fun and Fringey Box Bob

A box bob with fringe? Sign us up! “Maya Hawke’s fringey box bob is very fun and flirty,” Mader says. “Her bangs create a soft, airy look for this box bob cut. A soft blowout is a great style with a cut like this one.” Just apply some texture spray at the root to enhance volume.

Long Box Bob

Cardi B is a hair color chameleon but we love this platinum box cut on her. Notice how her box bob falls into the lob category—the extra length looks great with her features.

Curved Box Bob

While Sofia Richie Grainge’s hair isn’t overly complicated, the flirty curves she worked into her blonde box bob give the illusion of layers and frame her face beautifully.

Vintage Box Bob

While discussing her signature hairstyle with Byrdie, Nara Smith mentioned that the bob chose her. That’s usually how it goes, but you get to make the decision about how you style it. Maybe go the vintage route with a curved fringe and softly curled ends?

Curly Box Bob

Yara Shahidi has rocked her natural curls in so many ways over the years. This time around, she paired a sunset-inspired eyeshadow look with a blunt box bob and curly bangs. Stunning.

Twisted Box Bob

If you’re into protective styles, you can style your twists (or braids!) into a boxy bob, too. Thanks for the inspo, Chloe Bailey.
