Looking for bob for square face inspiration? Think curved ends, loose waves or a little fringe around your eyes.
These pictures give you plenty to bring to your next appointment, from short rounded cuts to shoulder-length styles.
You can keep things sleek or go all out with curls. A few looks are longer than a bob, included for their color and styling details.
Bob cuts and styling ideas worth saving
loose waves and parted fringe
We’re starting off strong with these pretty dark waves. I love the shorter pieces falling on either side of the forehead and the loose ends brushing the shoulders.
If you want a bob with a less polished finish, bring this picture along for the wavy shape.
sleek length and a side part
Don’t want to go super short? This longer bob is a lovely place to start.
The side part sweeps the front across the forehead while the ends curve toward the neck.
If you’re also looking for bob for round face ideas, save this longer outline to discuss with your stylist rather than choosing by face shape alone.
curtain bangs and curved ends
This bob may just be one of my favorites here. I love the long curtain bangs and the way the brown ends tuck under the jaw.
Ask for a fringe that opens across the forehead if you want to keep that same little sweep.
brown braids and loose curls
How pretty is this combination? Small braids sit between loose brown curls, with lighter strands winding through the below-shoulder lengths.
Keep the picture for the color mix if you’re considering a shorter variation. I especially love those lighter curls beside the face.
rounded curls and curly bangs
I am obsessed with these curls. The rounded shape is so cute, plus those little spirals falling over the forehead are gorgeous.
Point out both the fringe and the length around the neck when you show this one to your stylist.
blonde bob with wispy bangs
If you like a slightly undone bob, this one is for you. The blonde ends flick in different directions, with darker roots and a wispy fringe above the glasses.
I’d keep those little loose pieces around the ears.
blonde face-framing curves
If you are looking for a longer bob with plenty of movement around the face, then this one is for you. The middle part opens into sweeping blonde pieces, with the lower ends curled underneath.
Looking for bob for square face ideas with curved rather than straight ends? Show your stylist the inward turn at the bottom of this look.
short layers with outward flicks
I love this side view. The dark hair has a rounded shape at the back, with curled pieces sweeping around the ear and flicking out near the nape.
Save a side-view reference like this alongside your favorite front view so you can explain both.
long sweeping layers
These sweeping layers are gorgeous. The center part opens into curved front pieces, with the longest sections reaching well down the torso.
If you love the face-framing curves, ask your stylist whether a shorter version could work.
rounded back and feathered ends
Don’t want a straight, blunt outline? Take a look at this rounded brown bob.
I love how the layered ends overlap at the back and flick out just above the collar.
Save this one to show the back shape you’d like with your chosen fringe.
side fringe and big curls
The big curls are so pretty in this look. A long side fringe sweeps across one eye while the lower curls fall over the shoulders.
Ask about borrowing that sweeping fringe for a shorter cut if it’s your favorite detail too.
golden blonde side sweep
This is actually one of my favorite blonde looks on the list. The lifted side part and curved ends are so pretty together.
If you’re collecting bob for oval face ideas too, this is a lovely shape to discuss with your stylist. I’d point out the longer front sweep rather than asking for short bangs.
locs with two side buns
How cute are these two side buns? Some locs are gathered up while others hang loose around the ears and neck.
I especially love the loose ends beneath each bun. If your locs can be gathered this way, try leaving a few down to keep that same half-up look.
short bob with feathered fringe
Here is another pretty way to wear a parted fringe. The front pieces sweep outward near the eyes while the shorter ends curve in close to the jaw.
Ask about keeping those face-framing pieces if you want something softer-looking than an all-one-length front.
sleek chin-length bob
Don’t want bangs or lots of flipped layers? No problem! Try this simple dark bob with a middle part and a neat chin-length edge.
I love the little tuck behind one ear. The other side stays loose beside the cheek.
full bangs and rounded volume
If you love a fuller bob, this one is worth saving. The dark hair curves outward around the sides before turning under at the ends, with long bangs falling close to the eyes.
The rounded shape is my favorite part of this look.
sculpted front curl and flipped ends
I am obsessed with this dressed-up bob. The smooth side part and curled swoop on the forehead are gorgeous, especially with those outward-flipped ends.
Show this picture to your stylist if you want a sculpted finish for an occasion rather than loose everyday waves.
half-up braids with curls
This braided style has such a pretty mix of shapes. Braids sweep across the front into a high gathered section, with loose curls threaded through the hanging lengths.
Those hanging lengths reach the upper chest. Keep the half-up detail in mind if you’re planning a shorter braided lob.
dark bob with sweeping ends
Last but definitely not least, we have this gorgeous dark bob. I love the long front pieces opening around the cheeks!
The ends curve under near the neck, with a few little flicks turning outward at the shoulders.
Save this one if you want a longer bob without a short fringe.
