In 2011, the classic bob is given a twist for a contemporary vibe and adds an intense drama and mysterious allure that instantly grabs attention. Perfect for both thick and thin hair, a bob can be styled in different ways so you can surprise every time with a new look. Go for a chin length bob paired with a center part or go with a stylish side parting to play with an asymmetric shape.

Blunt, sharp lines add a touch of drama and elegance to your look, so go for boxy, face framing shapes or opt for soft layers styled at the ends for a more softer approach. Bangs paired with a bob - long and swept on one side or blunt cut - look amazing, so if you long for a total transformation with minimum effort, add some fringes to your medium-length cut.
