40 Amazing and Awe-Inspiring Asymmetrical Bobs
Blunt symmetrical bobs are classic, but can sometimes seem too regular for women who crave an extra dose of style and glam throughout their everyday lives. An asymmetrical bob haircut gives an edgy vibe to the standard look, which you can further customize with curls and colors. Look through our top twenty looks below – they really suit any woman's desire for self-expression.
Asymmetrical Bobs
To make an impact, asymmetry in bobs should be significant. If one side is practically the same as the other, it will be unnoticeable. The following are the best examples of present-day asymmetric bob cuts.
#1: Sharp Choppy Bob

This short bob could be your ultimate low-maintenance chic style with its mussed-up bedhead look. The cut works perfectly for someone with wavy hair or even fine straight hair and requires almost no daily styling, making for easy upkeep. Falling asleep with wet hair and rolling out of bed has never looked so good.
#2: Edgy Shoulder-Length Cut
With ombréed tips and a deep side part, this long asymmetrical bob redefines what you might consider a 'bob.' Longer than your average bob, this one in particular pushes the limits with its angles and the daring dyed tips. Note that it's also a great option for black women with relaxed hair. If you are looking for something that's just a touch dramatic, then this is the cut for you.

#3: Shaggy Uneven Bob
Romantic and feminine, this angled bob with its delicately tousled waves looks nice in all colors, but especially touching with some honeyed highlights pictured here. A deep side part adds a bit of mysterious flair, and the darker underlayer conveys depth and drama to these adorable beach waves.

#4: Blunt Bob with an Angled Side
Short bangs are still having their moment, but to keep the look fresh, go ahead and turn a blunt bowl cut into an angled bob on one side for the ultimate asymmetrical edge. Angling and layering make this anti-mullet cut extremely fashion-forward and bring to perfection its unique androgynous look.

#5: Deep Red Half Pixie Half Bob
This beautiful red-maroon color creates the perfect base for a short asymmetrical bob. Being sharply angled on one side, it offers the ideal spiky pieces that you can define with some pomade or texturizer. Easy to style, all it takes to perfect this look is running your fingers through your ends to create those funky pieces.

#6: Sleek Medium Blonde Bob
Looking for something just slightly different but in line with your classic look? This straight, uneven bob might be for you if you want to change up your hairstyle without going too dramatic. Polished with a slightly wet look, this particular style is perfectly asymmetrical and hits just below the chin on one side and at the jaw corner on the other.

#7: Fiery Red Angled Bob
This layered and angled cut makes the girl's unique coloring all the more fun and funky. The artful angling of this attention-grabbing foxy red bob brings out the contrast of the darker roots and the brighter ends, creating depth and easy, playful, movement for a striking look.

#8: Front Swept Deep Angled Bob with Shaved Side
Inherently thick, healthy hair makes the ideal base for an asymmetrical bob haircut. Shocking pink is always done best when taken to the absolute extreme, as pictured here. The dramatically swept forward side bangs in combination with the buzzed side revealing the natural color of the model's hair create a striking contrast.

#9: Short Graduated Bob
Blonde babylights throughout this layered bob give it a playful look and almost hint at sun-touched beach waves. The sharp angle, choppy layers, and the clean nape line make this bob both masculine and feminine – the ideal yin and yang combo.

#10: Straight and Sleek Black Bob
It's amazing what angling can do to relaxed black hair. Here, thanks to the sharp diagonal chop on one side, we see how this sleek bob has been transformed into a modern edgy cut that means both minimalism and estheticism in its clean lines and blunt edges.

#11: Wavy Side-Parted Bob
The beautiful caramel highlights in this style accentuate the loose, natural waves. You can style this long asymmetrical bob using a little mousse and scrunching your locks or making very loose waves with a large-barrel curling iron.

#12: Wavy Side-Swept Bob
Loose waves combed dramatically to one side give this bob a more modern look with the blond pieces highlighting their uneven choppiness. If you have similar looks as the girl in the photo (a low contrast between your skin tone and eyes), the exposed roots will prevent a washed out look with this style.
Source
#13: Twist on the Inverted Bob
Go all the way through with this edgy color and cut combination, and you'll be satisfied with the final result. Stacked at the back and angled forward into a chin-length chop, this daring look is topped off with a short straight fringe in a direct contrast to the wildness of the waves and angles. With an emphasis on natural, this look would be great on hair with almost any kind of texture from straight and lightly wavy to more curly.
Source
#14: Precise Angles and Fabulous Highlights
Here's a truly unhackneyed version! It's hard to imagine a more beautiful short asymmetrical bob for straight hair. We love the choice of colors for highlights, the sleekness, and the perfect sharp angles of the cut.
Source
#15: Descending Corner
A fun twist on a classic bob— almost uniform all the way around, but with a touch of that rock-and-roll edge on one side. The back of this cut almost hints at Anna Wintour's signature perfectly-in-line bob, but definitely strays from the norm in its evident asymmetry.
Source
#16: Lopsided Lob with Diagonal Bangs
Taking asymmetry to the next level, this lob plays with extremes. An expertly cut lob is basically low maintenance, so you may only need a bit of straightening if you have wavy hair and want a straight style or a quick session with a curling iron to get these easy waves.
Source
#17: Medium Length, Bangs and Side Undercut
Definitely on the extreme side of the spectrum of asymmetrical bob hairstyles, this cut represents an eclectic style. Shaggy bangs add informality that matches the general attitude of nonchalance that the trendy buzzed side brings to the picture.
Source
#18: Wavy Lob
Gentle curls just at the ends of this lob make for the perfect face-framing do'. A deep side part emphasizes the subtle asymmetry of this shoulder-length cut.
Source
#19: Stacked Bob
This beautiful auburn color is complemented by the dramatic angle of the cut. The stacked bob offers low-maintenance upkeep: just add a bit of mousse for texture, tousle your locks and go!
Source
#20: Classic Straight Black Bob
This bob is a blend of the two most popular bob lengths – chin length on one side and collar bone on the other. The asymmetric bob echoes the origins of the bob back in the '20s with its classic straight look and edges gently turned in to frame your face softly.
Source
#21: Fiery Angled Ombre
If you are craving something red-hot, this style is right up your alley. Red hair can be synonymous with the tough girl attitude, and this straight bob skips the layers to focus instead on a variety of reddish browns with a cool tone, ranging from dark brown to bright crimson. Pair with a bold scarlet lip color to fully own the look.
Source
#22: Asymmetric Bob with Loose Waves
People often imagine somewhat boring blunt symmetrical cuts when thinking of bobs, but really you can incorporate some fun quirks within your style whenever you want. This look blends straight strands on the shorter side and wavy locks on the longer one for a softer take on the a-line look. It is perfect for a woman who loves a romantic, feminine touch.

#23: Layered, Curly Bob with Highlights
Ladies with thin hair should still add layers within their asymmetric style to create fullness. This look also uses highlights with darker roots for dimension and spiral curls to amplify the volume. As with the first style, matching your makeup to your hair color—this time using eye shadow—is a great way to create a fully coordinated look.
Source
#24: Choppy Layers with Bangs
If you are currently sporting cute bangs and want to try an asymmetrical bob haircut, this is a great option, as it seamlessly blends the bangs into the overall style. With so many different layers in this look, the hairdo would be better suited for women with longer faces, as it could overwhelm smaller face shapes.
Source
#25: Inverted Bob with Dark Roots
Sometimes specific hair colors might not work well with the undertones in certain complexions, but that does not mean you have to avoid them altogether. Breaking up a brighter hue with dark roots allows for a more subtle grown out effect than a full-on color.
Source
#26: Asymmetrical Bob with Natural Waves
Balance out a round face by drawing the eye down with longer, natural waves on one side. Thin pops of bright blonde highlights keep the hair from seeming too blocky. Side fringe helps to maintain a charming vibe for a sweet girl look – for a subtle upgrade to her everyday look.
Source
#27: Angled Bob with Very Short Layers
Another example of how to liven up thin, lifeless strands using artful layers. This stacked cut creates volume without the usage of curls by simply adding short, spunky layers throughout the crown. It is a great daily look that will keep its shape with minimal maintenance; a worthy pick for a woman who is always on the run.
Source
#28: Conservative Cut with a Twist
If you are just beginning to test out the waters of an asymmetric bob haircut, this is a perfect entry level style. It uses long layers for an even shoulder-length cut and adds a bit of pizazz with one longer section; a way to upgrade your style without drastically changing your entire look.
Source
#29: Stacked Haircut for Thick Hair
Having your hair cut from long to short is a major commitment, but it is worth it, especially if your lengthy locks are weighing your face down. Face-framing layers better accentuate smaller face shapes and add structure to a previously uninspiring style.
Source
#30: Choppy Asymmetric Bob for Mature Women
Just because you are sprouting silver strands does not mean that you have to give up trendy haircuts as demonstrated by this expertly layered style. It is a great way to add volume to thinning hair and highlight delicate facial structures.
Source
#31: Shaggy Two-Tone Haircut
This layered cut is perfect for a woman who wants a closely-cropped style but is worried about losing a feminine touch. The face-framing side bangs soften the look, but the blonde accentuation gives a pop of color which shows that you know how to have a good time.
Source
#32: Loose Waves with Shaved Side
A no nonsense look for a no nonsense woman! Balance hard and soft with romantic loose waves on one side and a striking shaved section on the other; if you part your hair down the middle, no one will even know that you have shaved your head at all. This asymmetric bob is perfect for an edgy girl who loves versatility.
Source
#33: Easy and Effortless Chin Length Cut
Sometimes the most uncomplicated hairdos are the best options. This style is perfect for a woman with a busy schedule who wants to look pulled together at all times. Natural waves and light layers ensure that this will look good even if you miss a trim appointment.
Source
#34: Sleek and Shiny Asymmetrical Bob
Show off your glistening strands with a gorgeous angled cut that will complement many different face shapes. As the back view shows, it is slightly shorter in the back to draw attention forward and subtly lengthen the face. It's a worthy option for the workplace as it is not too over-the-top, but still chic and fashion-forward.
Source
#35: Exaggerated Inverted Cut
This style is for a woman who truly commits to a look—nothing subtle about this haircut! Ranging from closely-cropped in the back to almost shoulder length in the front, this retro style is reminiscent of the mod looks from the sixties. Finish off with white and black eyeliner for a modern nod to Twiggy's iconic look.
Source
#36: Wavy Layers with Graduated Color
A look that pulls double duty by combining both color and texture for a fully exciting style; perfect for women who want to thicken their strands. It is also a great way to try brightening up your hair hue without changing the overall base color, as this combines shades of brown, red, and copper for an eye-catching asymmetrical bob haircut.
Source
#37: Messy Waves with Babylights
Shorter hairstyles can still sport the popular dye trends as shown by this haircut transformation. The long thin locks did nothing to emphasize and highlight her features as the new look does. The bangs highlight her eyes and the leftover ombre, transformed into babylights, brightens her entire face.
Source
#38: Eclectic Asymmetrical Bob for Young Girls
Teens tend to be a little bit more adventurous with their looks and can easily demonstrate how to style an asymmetrical bob with flair. On an older woman this might read as "too trendy", but youthful vibrancy makes it seem fresh and fun.
Source
#39: Lavender A-line Look
Lavender is an equally appealing alternative to gray or silver hair if you crave something with a little extra color. The great thing is that the color complements a variety of different skin tones and hair textures – it's equally exciting on most of them.
Source
#40: Sweet and Sassy Style
Skip fancy highlights or ombre hair for a rich chocolate overall color. Sometimes one solid hair color seems more sophisticated, and darker hues, besides, tend to make hair appear healthier. The straight cut with minimal layers further emphasizes the posh and polished vibe.
