Short straight hairstyles

There’s a reason why bobs are the most popular hairstyle worldwide. It’s iconic and an act of rebellion, just think of Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. As Coco Chanel says, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life”!

So, if you’re looking to shake things up with your hair, a bob is the short straight hairstyle to choose. In need of some inspiration? Well look no further as we have 9 short bob hairstyles perfect for you!

Medium straight hairstyles

Finding the right cut and hairstyle can take hair from lifeless to flawless. If you have medium length hair, consider the messy lob - a match made in heaven for those with shoulder length fine hair.

The choppy layers instantly add movement and volume to any straight hairstyle.  But if that’s not really your style, these chic medium straight hairstyles might tickle your fancy.
 

Long straight hairstyles

Bubble braids scream 90s nostalgia and are the fun straight hairstyle your long hair has been craving. Not only are bubble braids fun but they’re also a breeze to create; all you need are some mini elastic bands, a brush and a mirror. This one is for the 90s babies and we are living for it.

If your long hair is lacking volume and texture, adding layers into your hair will create more movement, body and texture, giving the illusion of thicker hair. If you want some serious volume action, why not try out our Volume Lift range?
