#42. Straight Hair with Graduated Bob Cut
A bob haircut is an excellent choice for any woman who wants something easy to maintain yet face-framing and trendy. However, stopping at a bob cut can be drab. Add a good amount of movement and dimension with graduated layers.

Tired of the same casual looks? I have something new-and-improved for you to consider: the sleek half-bun! This adorable style can be put together in under five minutes. Leave a few strands dangling around the face for a flirty flare.
