The Boho Bob Is Everywhere Right Now: 11 Styles Women Over 40 Are Rushing to Try

You know how sometimes a haircut just comes along and it feels totally right for the moment well that’s the Boho Bob right now. It’s the softer, cooler sister to that blunt bob everyone was getting a while back but this one is much more relaxed and low-maintenance which is great. It uses gentle layers and a messy texture to look effortless and it’s especially amazing for women over 40 because it adds lift and softness around the face. It’s all about working with your natural texture, not fighting it so here are eleven gorgeous ways women are rocking this cut.

The Collarbone Skim

This length hits right at the collarbone and it looks so sophisticated without being too severe or short. The loose gentle waves keep it modern and it looks great with a casual off-center part.

Soft Subtle Shag

This haircut is like the shaggy style but way softer. The layers are gentle, not choppy or harsh. Add a light, wispy fringe around your face. This makes the entire look young and fun.

The Bouncy Curly Crop

If you have natural curls this bob lets them be voluminous and bouncy right above the shoulders which looks so pretty. Use a hydrating curl cream to keep those ringlets defined and full of life.

The Wet-Look Finish

This style keeps the cut’s choppy layers but uses a little gel or mousse to give it a cool sleek almost wet texture. It’s a bold look that really emphasizes the structure of the bob making it look intentional and fresh.

Elegant Brushed-Out Curls

For those with natural curl or texture brushing out defined curls creates a soft ethereal halo effect around the face. Just make sure to prep with a curl cream before you brush so you avoid frizz and keep it light.

Flicked-Out Ends

This is a super chic style where you only use a flat iron or curling iron to flip the very ends of the bob outward instead of under. It’s a great easy look for straight hair and it gives the ends that fun playful feel.

Glossy Voluminous Blowout

Make your messy bob look glossy and big. Use thickening cream first. Then, use a big round brush while blow drying. This adds amazing volume and a super high shine. It gives you that polished, expensive look you want.

Barely-There Bends

Got straight hair? Just use your flat iron to put in a few gentle, different waves. This gives your hair a nice bit of movement. It’s a low-effort style that looks really cool, great for busy days.

Tousled Longer Lob

This version is slightly longer hitting closer to the shoulder which gives you more options for styling and pulling it up. Flipping the part over to one side is an easy way to achieve instant lift and a good amount of volume.

Loose Natural Waves

If you have naturally wavy hair, just dry it out without using a dryer. After that, squeeze it very softly using your fingers to get good volume. Use a tiny dab of matte pomade on the ends. This will make your hair look textured and broken up nicely.

Boho With A Wispy Fringe

If the relaxed bob looks too unkempt, a soft, light fringe helps. The bangs frame your face nicely and add structure. This keeps the look easy but not totally messy, which is great.
