The bob is undeniably iconic. Movie stars in the 1920s made it chic, and its allure hasn’t faded over the next hundred years.
No matter the color, it’s the go-to statement haircut, but it’s never as striking as when it’s short and blonde. That’s why we’ve gathered 50 modern short blonde bobs to inspire you before your next appointment.
1. Platinum Bob With Roots
The blunt-cut tousled wavy bob is a modern and effortless everyday style. The platinum blonde color with subtle roots adds a romantic vibe to the look.
2. Short Blond Bob With Root Tap
A touch of natural color applied at the roots lends this chin-grazing blunt bob a soft and natural appearance. You can wear it straight for a sleek look or add a few beachy waves to the outer layers for a more relaxed vibe.
3. Short Medium Blond Bob With Parted Bangs
For a casual yet chic look, consider adding parted bangs to a bob hairstyle. This style also serves as a great transition when growing out a classic French bob.
4. Angled Bob Haircut With Bangs
The platinum blonde color enhances the allure of this dramatic angled bob with a full fringe, making it even more eye-catching.
5. Stacked Bob With Blonde Highlights
When paired with blonde highlights, the stacked bob takes on a whole new level of vibrancy and dimension. The highlights infuse a sun-kissed warmth into the bob, brightening the overall look.
6. Blond Choppy Bob With Hair Pins
A casual short bob offers versatile styling options. Here, securing the front part of the hair with bobby pins has created a youthful and contemporary look. Choosing pins in a contrasting color to the ashy blonde shade intensifies the effect further.
7. Sleek Bob With Blonde Highlights
Lovely highlights in this subtly rounded sleek blonde bob contribute to a refined and elegant look.
8. Tousled Waves Blonde Bob Hairstyle
Beachy waves aren’t just for long hair—the color and styling of this tousled bob artfully create the impression of a whole summer spent enjoying the sea and the sun.
9. Wavy Short Bob Haircut
A French girl bob looks fresh and cute, especially in blonde. To achieve a tousled look, use a flat iron or curling iron, then run your fingers through your hair to loosen up the curls.
10. Fine Hair Short Bob Haircut
If done correctly, a layered bob can add volume to fine hair. However, too many layers can make the hair appear thin. Ask your hairdresser to focus on removing weight from the bottom part to ensure your hair looks bouncy and voluminous.
11. Edgy Short Blonde Bob With Neon Tips
Bleached blonde bob with a twist! Neon-green tips are a bold choice, but guaranteed to get you noticed.
12. Blonde Bob Hairstyle With Cute Babyhairs
A sleek platinum blonde bob with a center part is a classic look, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be modern and eye-catching.
13. Beige Blonde Inverted Bob
This beige blonde inverted bob is a flattering style that’s easy to maintain at home—as long as you don’t skip regular visits to the salon for maintenance.
14. Sleek Short Blonde Bob Hairstyle
The opposite of a blunt bob, the rounded bob with a stacked nape creates the illusion of incredible volume. It can be worn sleek for a polished look or tousled for a more casual vibe, offering two completely different styles.
15. Subtle Stacked Bob With Highlights
A subtly stacked bob is both bouncy and neat, making it a flattering choice for thin hair. The soft layers on top create volume at the crown and give the hair movement. With the addition of carefully placed highlights, the hair appears even thicker and more dynamic.
16. Blonde Bob Haircut With Curls
A bob isn’t always sleek and straight—sometimes it’s all about soft curls. This blonde bob with classic curls evokes the glamour of classic Hollywood divas, while the shadow-root effect adds a modern twist.
17. Platinum Bob With Center Part
A center-parted short blonde bob exudes a polished and elegant vibe. This sleek bob style looks particularly stunning with intense hair colors, such as glossy black, vibrant red, or in this case, perfect platinum blonde.
18. Messy Wavy Blunt Bob
The combination of highlights and lowlights adds dimension to this hairstyle. The final effect of the color and the blunt chop is intentionally messy, but in a stylish and appealing way.
19. Blonde Bob Haircut With Razored Ends
This blunt textured bob may seem effortless, but it’s all thanks to flawless execution. The highlights are seamlessly done, and the cut perfectly complements the type and texture of the hair.
20. Ash Blonde A-Line Bob
At first glance, this appears to be an asymmetrical bob, but it’s actually an A-line bob cut at an angle to fall longer in the front. Tucking one side of the hair behind the ear transforms this style into something equally jaw-dropping, showcasing the flexibility of a bob haircut.
21. Beige Blonde Bob With Long Bangs
This ethereal blonde bob is flattering for all hair types, including thin hair. The soft, long bangs create the impression of layering, adding volume and movement to the hair. The neutral-toned beige blonde color complements those with a neutral skin undertone, but choosing a slightly different shade can make it suitable for anyone.
22. Short Blonde Bob With Purple Underdye
Subtle stacking in the back perfectly harmonizes with peekaboo purple layers hiding underneath in this innovative and unique bob hairstyle.
23. Angled Blonde Bob
This sleek angled bob exudes sophistication, and the refined color accentuates its elegance. Despite not being tousled, it doesn’t lack movement—just ensure to go easy on the product.
24. Blonde One Length Bob
Balayage and waves may be a popular way to style a bob, but don’t write off one-dimensional color and straight hair just yet. Both choices give this short blonde bob a put-together, timeless vibe.
25. Platinum Short Bob With Bangs
Going beyond blonde and opting for platinum hair color is a bold choice—and the right one if you want to turn heads. To prolong the time between appointments, consider a rooted platinum blonde that still looks great as your own roots start to show.
26. Undone Short Blonde Bob With Curls
Voluminous classic old Hollywood siren curls are undeniably flattering, and a blonde undone bob inevitably invokes that Marilyn Monroe appeal. Who says you need long hair to be glamorous?
27. Short Blonde Bob With Side Part
The extra-high side part is what makes this style pop. You can achieve this effect with any version of the bob, and the secret to extreme volume is blow-drying your hair in the opposite direction to lift the roots off the scalp.

31. Short Blonde Bob Haircut With Root Tap
The shadow-root effect gives this golden-blonde bob a relaxed feel and casual vibe. To achieve the same effect, rather than taming all flyaways, leave a bit of fluff when styling your hair.
32. Very Short Blonde Bob
A jaw-grazing bob can be styled straight for a cool look or softened with a slight wave. Because it’s so short, it’s easiest to achieve using a flat iron to add volume on top and at cheekbone level.

The muted beige-blonde color conceals a striking brown with a purple undertone in this captivating style. Wearing it half up can reveal the hidden color beneath when you’re seeking a change.

This bob exemplifies the possibilities when aiming to create a specific effect. Cleverly crafted layers provide volume and texture, while a well-chosen fringe complements the shape of your face.

You don’t need long hair to enjoy a versatile hairstyle. A bob can be worn straight and sleek or wavy and tousled for two completely different looks.
36. Strawberry Blonde Wavy Bob

46. Golden Blonde Bob With Layers
Face-framing layers can be utilized to accentuate your favorite features and draw attention away from those you’re less fond of. This soft haircut creates a romantic vibe, and it’s even more enchanting when paired with a golden blonde color.
47. Blonde Undercut Bob
Opting for an undercut will infuse a classic A-line bob with an edgy flavor. Balayage, highlights, or maintaining a natural color at the roots are recommended to avoid harsh lines as it starts growing out.
