What would I look like with a bob?
The bob is the most-requested cut in every salon for a reason: it's the bold move that's still reversible. But french, blunt and curly bobs are three different personalities — upload a selfie and audition all three on your own face before your stylist asks "so, how short are we going?"
Try a bob on your own photo
Start with the french bob, swap to the blunt version, then line them up on the comparison board next to your current length. The winner is usually obvious within a minute — and it's not always the one you expected.
Upload a selfie →Which bob suits your face shape?
A bob's secret is the hemline: wherever it ends is where every eye lands. Pick the stopping point that flatters what it points at.
| Face shape | The bob that tends to flatter |
|---|---|
| Oval | Any length works — choose french for charm, blunt for polish. |
| Round | A jaw-grazing or slightly angled bob adds definition; avoid ending at the widest point of the cheeks. |
| Square | Chin-length with soft, undone texture (the french bob) gentles a strong jaw. |
| Heart | A chin-to-collarbone bob balances a narrower chin — curtain-bang pairing optional but excellent. |
| Long / oblong | Chin-length with a straight-across hem visually shortens the face — the bob is your best friend. |
Hemline theory is fun, but it's still theory — put a blunt bob on your selfie and see where the line actually lands.
Bobs on real faces — before & after
All three pairs are genuine try-on results. Same faces, same skin, same texture — only the length changed. That's the entire promise of the tool.
Long to french bob. The Paris haircut, auditioned before the flight.
Waves to blunt bob. One clean line — the 2026 ultra-sharp version.
The curly bob. Coils kept springy, tone untouched — no flat-iron fiction.
Pick your bob — they're not interchangeable
Six bobs, six personalities. The preview lets you date a few before you commit.
French bob
Chin-length, soft-edged, slightly undone. Effortless on purpose.
Blunt bob
One sharp line at the jaw. Polished, deliberate, cheekbone-forward.
Curly bob
Rounded and springy — lets coils and curls do exactly what they want, but shorter.
Jawline / ultra-short bob
The runway version — cheekbone-grazing angles that sharpen everything.
Lob (long bob)
Collarbone-length: bob energy, ponytail privileges. The zero-regret entry point.
Bixie
Where bob meets pixie — if you're tempted shorter, the short-hair page has the whole staircase.
The fine print of bob life
Two honest notes before the trim.
Bobs are shape, and shape needs upkeep. That clean line grows fuzzy after six to eight weeks — budget for more frequent trims than long layers ever asked of you.
Your texture votes too. Straight hair holds a blunt line; waves want the french version; curls want the rounded one. Fighting your texture daily is how bobs end up in "never again" stories — so preview the version built for the hair you actually have.
Bob try-on, answered
Would a bob suit my face?
A bob's whole trick is where the ends stop — that line is where every eye goes. Chin-length softens a long face, jaw-length sharpens a soft one, and a slightly angled bob flatters a rounder one. Which is theory; upload a selfie above and check the actual answer on your own face in twenty seconds.
French bob or blunt bob — what's the difference?
A french bob is chin-length or shorter, soft-edged and a little undone, often with micro bangs. A blunt bob is cut in one clean, sharp line, usually at the jaw, and reads polished and deliberate. They photograph like different personalities — try both on your photo before picking a side.
Can I preview a bob on my photo for free?
Yes. Your first try-on is free with no account at all, and signing in with Google adds 30 free credits — still no card. The AI trims the hair in your photo and changes nothing else, so you're judging the bob, not a model wearing one.
Do bobs work on curly or coily hair?
The curly bob is one of the best cuts in the game — a rounded, chin-length shape that lets coils spring naturally. The preview keeps your true texture instead of flat-ironing you, so what you see is what your curls would actually do.
Will I regret cutting my long hair into a bob?
The bob is the least risky big change there is: dramatic enough to feel new, long enough to tie back a bad day, and about a year from shoulder length if you change your mind. Preview it first, sleep on the photo, and the regret risk drops to nearly zero.

Your first try-on is free, no card — and the face above the hemline stays yours. Compare french, blunt and curly on your own photo, sleep on it, and book the chair already sure.
