Choppy Medium Bob Hairstyles

When it comes to hairstyles, one of the most popular haircuts in recent years is the choppy medium bob. This is because the hairstyle is versatile, easy to maintain and flatters nearly any face shape. Before getting this hairstyle, there are a few things to be aware of to make sure it really is the cut for you.

The choppy, medium length bob haircut is a versatile and popular hairstyle choice for many women. This is because the cut tends to flatter a number of face shapes, including round, oval and square face. This hairstyle can be easily tweaked to highlight certain features or adhere to anyone's desired style or desired level of maintenance. There are several features of this haircut that one should consider tweaking before getting her hair cut, to ensure their style is the most flattering possible.

Layers

Layers are possibly the most important part of the choppy bob hairstyle. Choppy layers are typically added to this haircut to add the element of length to rounder faces. Typically choppy layers are longer, so they don't add too much width or bulk around the widest part of the face. However, if you want to flatter an oval-shaped face, then choppy layers that fall around the mouth, or lower can be extremely flattering. A good rule of thumb is that layers in this hairstyle should never fall above the mouth. Layers should be long enough to frame the face.

Bangs

Bangs can be easily and seamlessly added to choppy medium-length bob haircuts. Long side-swept bangs can easily be added to this hairstyle and will blend well with layers. The side-swept bang help frame any style face, especially long or heart-shaped faces. Straight across blunt bangs can also be added to this hairstyle for a unique look. Blunt bangs not only compliment this hairstyle but also can help even out longer, oval-shaped faces. Blunt bangs can also have slight layers in them, to give the bangs a "pieced" look that compliments the hairstyle's layers. These types of bangs are especially flattering on square-shaped faces. 

Styling

The styling of this haircut is also very important. Many women want to make sure their new hairstyle won't be difficult to style on a daily basis. Luckily, due to the choppier layers in this hairstyle, styling is very easy. For an everyday look, this haircut can be dried with a hairdryer. Once the hair is about 95 percent dry, a round brush can be used to make the haircut look more sleek and polished. The layers of the cut can be curled inward or outward, depending on your own personal style.  Flat irons and styling products can be used to create a messy, modern look with the choppy layers of the bob. Because the layers of this hairstyle tend to be longer, hair can also be pinned back.
