We’ve finally come across the hairstyle of 2015: the graduated bob – an angled haircut with stacked layers in the back. And it makes sense; it’s trendy, it’s short; which is why it is a perfect look for summers. From Shakira’s asymmetric bob to Keira Knightley’s midi bob, we’ve rounded up ten graduated inspiration bob hairstyles that are sure to leave you tressed to impress!
Read on to find out more about graduated bob hairstyles.
1. Sleek Graduated Bob
Is there anything more sophisticated and chic than a graduated bob? Of course not! And that’s exactly why we absolutely adore Eri Fukatsu’s beautiful sleek graduated bob. The center part adds some sass and fun to the look while the straight hair gives this style a burst of coolness and energy. This look works perfectly for a formal event where dressing sharp is key.
2. Two-Toned Bob
We can’t get enough of Victoria’s blonde bob with caramel highlights, especially when they are well textured and groomed. Contouring her jaw line beautifully, this asymmetrical bob is sexy and edgy, and suits most face shapes. Flat iron your hair to shape this angled cut, which is a bit longer in front and shorter at the back. So, if you have a heart shaped face like VB, opt for an off-side partition to soften the forehead. This will enhance your eyes and cheeks perfectly.
 3. Asymmetric Bob
WOW. There are too many reasons to love Brittany Snow’s look. Let’s begin with the asymmetric bob – so trendy and they frame Brittany’s face beautifully. And check out that blonde hair color! To get this look, flat iron your angled hair, and then mist with an anti-frizz serum for that final finish.

4. Side-Swept Graduated Bob
Shakira is no stranger to short hairstyles. From graduated to long and straight, the Hips Don’t Lie singer looks effortlessly sexy with her graduated bob and side-swept bangs. With uneven lengths, straight hair and varying textures, Shakira’s blonde hairstyle is dynamic and modern.
5. Razor Sharp Bob
Always one to show what razor-sharp bob can do, RiRi, at the Mobo Awards, demonstrated how to rock a bob with some serious edge. Her jet black graduated bob is classic yet modern, and she sports a choppy side-swept parting. Spawning a ton of copycats, to achieve Rihanna’s poker-straight look, use a good quality straightening wand and apply plenty of heat protection hair products – we recommend Herbal Essences Set Me Up Heat Protectant Spray.

Featuring a two-toned, deep side partition and shaggy bob to fit actress Chelsea Kane’s face, the hairdo is graduated, sophisticated and effortlessly stylish. Plus, the choppy ends of the cut give an edgy and fresh appeal to the whole look.
7. The Midi Bob
One of our favorite stars, The Imitation Game actress Keira Knightley, looks gorgeous in this classy, midi bob. This trendy long graduated bob hairstyle, along with her bangs, is very flattering for Keira’s square face. Just mist with a strong hairspray for an extra texture after flat ironing your short locks for a defined look.

 8. Bob With Blunt Bangs And Red Highlights
When we spotted Dami Im in this polished, graduated bob with blunt bangs, we called our hairstylist immediately!

9. Choppy, Graduated Bob
Malin Akerman looks stunning with her flirty, chic and graduated bob. Pair your hairdo with a lot of texture to further conceal a round face shape, and for a bold look, edge up the hairstyle with darker roots and light ends.
