Elsa Pataky shows us how to flaunt a bob like a queen! The layered bob looks chic and works, no matter what the event. If you really want to take your hairstyle up a few notches, opt for this layered bob. Feather out the ends of the layers to make your hair look thicker. Style it in waves or light curls to achieve a breezy look.

2. Asymmetrical Bob

Rose Byrne shows us that some hairstyles never go out of fashion. Blonde is a versatile color that looks good with anything. The asymmetrical bob, on the other hand, is not as versatile. It works well with thin faces. If you have wide cheeks or a round face, keep your hair shorter than your chin.

3. Cute Pixie

Miley Cyrus brings us an uber cute pixie cut! When in doubt, go for a pixie cut. It looks great on women of all ages. The sharp layered bangs draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones.

4. Full Bangs Blunt Cut

Rose Byrne looks absolutely stunning in this retro blunt cut. But blunt haircuts are tricky, especially with short hair. So, pair it with full bangs to balance out the look. This will make your face look slimmer and your hair look thicker.

5. Side Lifted Hair

Sometimes, a comb can be a girl’s best friend. If your pixie had feathered layers, and it is now grown out, you can lift it to add some style. Spritz on some hairspray all over your locks to keep them in place.

6. Pulled Back Hair

A small pull can go a long way in terms of a hairstyle. If you want a slick look, comb your hair back with some mousse but make sure to add height to it. If you want a messy look, do the same thing with your fingers instead of a comb and use some light mousse to make it look more natural instead of damp.

7. Moussed Hair

Need to jazz up your regular pixie or bob style? Go the Hollywood way with some mousse, just like Ruby Rose. Apply mousse to your hair and comb it back. The mousse will keep your locks in place for a long time.
