Bob braids give you all the texture and protection of a braided style without the length, cropped right at chin or shoulder for a look that’s bold in its own way.
These are the twelve versions I recommend most.
Classic Braided Bob
A clean, all-over braided bob at chin length is a sharp, graphic silhouette that reads confident the second you walk in.
Bob Braids With Curly Ends
Curly ends soften the crop and add a bit of bounce that a blunt straight bob braid doesn’t have.
Bob Braids With a Middle Part
A middle part gives the bob shape symmetry and a slightly more polished, structured finish.
Colored Bob Braids
Bold extension color on a shorter style reads even more graphic than it would on longer hair, which makes bob braids a great place to experiment.
Bob Braids With Bangs
A braided fringe paired with the bob length is one of the boldest combinations you can wear, and it frames the face beautifully.
Layered Bob Braids
Varying the length slightly through the braids adds movement and keeps the shape from feeling too blunt or heavy.
