Trendy cuts and colors come and go, but certain classic styles are forever. Case in point? The brunette bob. In its purest form, these short brown cuts are timeless, elegant, and sleek. The cropped style plays well with bold, brunette tones, and when they come together there’s truly nothing chicer (looking at you, Victoria Beckham).\n<\/p>\n

With such a solid foundation to draw upon, there are dozens of different types of brunette bobs that offer the same aesthetic, but with some sort of twist. Think asymmetric cuts, dimensional highlights, and tousled styles. With winter on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to dye your hair darker and chop it all off (for the sake of saving blow-dry time when it’s too cold to air dry, of course). Below, find 23 brunette bobs to show your stylist for inspo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Don’t shy away from super-sharp angles or\u00a0asymmetrical cuts. If done well, you’ll be left with such a striking hairdo. This particular cut is a Vidal Sassoon classic and features a geometric, blunt shape.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This polished bob is straight out of the ’50s, and solidifies the style as a timeless classic. Its soft curls and sultry side part complement its monochromatic mocha tone\u2014which extends into the makeup it’s paired with.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This gorgeous shoulder-length lob gives Yara Shahidi’s curls noticeable volume and dimension. This is a great example of a style and hair texture complementing one another to create the perfect look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This bob’s va-va-voom volume and pin-up curls are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. But its dimensional brown tones make it feel uniquely modern and innovative. Leave it to Zendaya to serve a statement-making look that transcends the test of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Selena Gomez’s wind-swept, full-bodied bob is a lesson in undone glamour. It’s stunning but doesn’t feel overly done, and the wispy, brow-grazing bangs give things a hint of French girl chic.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Box braids make a statement on their own, but they are even more show-stopping in this short length. Here, Amandla Stenberg’s box braids create a dimensional brunette bob. We love the way the style cuts off right below her chin to give the illusion of a sleek short cut.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A severe side part adds an element of edge to any look, and that’s especially true in the case of a super-sleek bob. This shiny, black-brown version of the look feels particularly punk rock.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For classic, Old-Hollywood glamour, try a chin-grazing bob with a side part (overdirected for volume). We love how Maude Apatow’s features flipped-under ends and a soft tuck behind the ear for added “old money” vibes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For a more natural-looking bob, try experimenting with bends instead of waves or curls. They’re slightly softer and subtler, but give nice dimension on espresso strands.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The “shullet”\u2014or “shaggy mullet”\u2014is an entire haircut category of its own. This chestnut example plays up the layers and angles while keeping things slightly longer in the back for a slight feminine twist.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Who said messy styles only work on long hair? Laura Harrier’s curls add volume to her blunt bob for a perfectly chic tousled look. Consider this your reminder to have fun with short styles by letting your natural texture run the show.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Brunettes can’t go wrong with a sleek, chin-grazing razor cut. The trick to this look is to keep hair as smooth and shiny as possible, so be sure to prep with hydrating and frizz-reducing ingredients before you style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Opting for a longer bob, or a “lob”, allows for slightly more room to play around with texture. Use a small-barreled (ideally under 1-inch) curling iron and brush through the resulting waves to create this loose, romantic style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A cropped version of the ’90s most iconic haircut feels right at home in 2024. The Rachel\u2014made famous by Jennifer Aniston\u2014is characterized by swishy, face-framing layers and golden highlights. Try a more modern version by adjusting the length from shoulder-skimming to chin-grazing.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The straighter style means more light reflection (a.k.a., free dimension in your color). Opt for shorter front pieces or swooping curtain bangs like Lucy Hale’s to add volume and movement to this sleek style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ditch the highlights and compliment a short cut with a monochromatic brunette shade. Maren Morris’s razor cut, for example, puts her chestnut strands on full display.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hailey Bieber’s brunette bob\u00a0has generated tons of buzz. Everything about this styling is by the book\u2014the classic chestnut brown, the blunt cut, the flipped-out ends, even the tuck behind the ear\u2014without feeling stale.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Itty-bitty golden baby lights can create a world of dimension on a short mahogany cut. Add a few slightly larger streaks to frame your face and make it look brighter.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Italian bob\u2014which has been sported by brunette stars like Kaia Gerber, Jenna Ortega, and Zendaya\u2014has blunt, chunky ends and a classic ’60s feel. This deep brown shade feels fitting for fall and winter, ideally paired with a fabulous faux-fur coat.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A choppy cut and bendy texture give this bob the type of movement you don’t typically get from this sort of short cut.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
