2. Keira Knightley’s Angled Bob

Got a round face? 

Try this razor-sharp angled bob that Keira Knightley has sported in many red-carpet events.

This chic, long in the front and shorter in the back haircut not only adds incredible volume to your manes [1] but also perfectly frames your face with those pronounced angles.

To style your bob just like Keira Knightley’s angled one, apply some volumizing mousse all over your damp hair. 

A volumizing mousse, like the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse, not only adds the required lift but also creates a base for the styling.

Then using a blow dryer and a round brush, dry all your manes to look fuller and bouncier.

Once all your tresses are completely dried and have the required volume, take a flat iron and lightly smooth out the bob to look exactly like Keira’s.

3. Victoria Beckham’s Signature Bob

No one sports short hair as Victoria Beckham does. Her fine, thin tresses are made for a shorter, more voluminous haircut.

Over the years, she has inspired many girls to sport a hairstyle like hers. 

And if you also want to try her signature stacked bob, try it now. 

This haircut accentuates your cheekbones and angles and elevates your overall aura by several notches.

The best part of this haircut is that it provides an excellent amount of volume. 

The short, stacked bob at the back and slightly longer face-shaping strands at the front make for a perfect combination of style and comfort at the same time.

4. Emma Stone’s Romantic Lob

The soft, romantic lob that Emma Stone sports often is perfect for any occasion. 

From red carpet events to weddings, this side-swept bangs and minimal layering is a universally flattering hairdo to rock.

Adorning your lob with this romantic hairdo is as simple and fuss-free as it looks.

First, detangle your manes with a wide-tooth comb and spray on a liberal amount of heat [2] protectant spray all over the tresses.

Then, using a 1-inch curling iron, create alternate curls in your hair and let them sit for a minute.

Run your fingers through them to not only interconnect the curls but also to give an overall look a soft, natural vibe.

Jane Fonda’s style is as popular as her films.

Even though this is quite an old do, its appeal is still the same as in the ‘80s. Proving that some hairstyles don’t go out of style.

To rock a hairstyle like Jane Fonda’s 19 Annual Hollywood Film Awards one, we suggest you cut uniform layers all over your manes.

So what made the “The Rachel” haircut iconic? Other than the fact that Jenifer Aniston sported it.

 “The Rachel” hairdo is super stylish yet comfortable, and that’s why every other fashionista wanted to rock this haircut back then.

If you still want to try this haircut, I suggest you ask your hairdresser for the choppy layers falling just above the collarbone with chunky blonde highlights.

Blow-dry them daily with a round brush to maintain your “Rachel” look even in the 2020s.

Taylor Swift never fails to impress us with her style.

Moreover, the perfectly placed bangs softened the fierce look and covered her entire forehead. 

This is an edgy style, but it’s not too daring to try.

To sport this look, you first must blow dry your hair upside down with a round brush to give it the much-required body and volume. 

Then flip your manes and lightly brush them to smoothen them for a sleeker outlook.

Next, with a flat iron, straighten your bangs with a flip at the roots to ensure that the bangs also have the same volume as the bob..

It makes you stand up in the crowd without even trying hard.

If you want to adorn your long bob with this wispy, salty hairstyle, you only need a suitable curling iron.

Julianne Hough has been rocking this amazing bob for a while.

Her bold, chin-length bob features a classic bob outline paired with thinned-out ends to give an illusion of an even shorter, more voluminous haircut.

If you also want to style your bob just like Julianne Hough’s one, we suggest you start by spritzing on some dry shampoo all over your tresses.

This is to build the body as well as to give them a velvety matte finish. 

Then using a flat iron, create a little bit of bend at the front to frame your face. 

Leave the ends straight to give your overall look a much-texturized vibe.

14. Miley Cyrus’s Edgy Razor Cut

Miley Cyrus made jaws drop when she chopped off her signature long locks to debut her super short razor cut. 

Even though she rocked this cut, it is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea.

If you are someone who is edgy and likes to take a risk with your hair, then we would suggest you try out this daring look, even only for once.

Even though this completely disconnected haircut has long tresses on top and almost shaved ones on the sides, it’s not as difficult to style as you might think. 

Apply a bit of gel through wet hair and blow-dry it for a slight lift. Then backcomb the long tresses and you are ready to rock on.
