47. Face-Framing Feathers and Front Pieces. The best thing about a shoulder-length crop is its length and shape that let you wear it loose, half up or in a cute updo.

Who says your crop has to be blunt? You can rock a textured style no matter what face shape or hair texture you have. Find the right layered bob haircut for you in the list below!

1. Two-Tier Inverted Midi. A longer bob that is a bit past your shoulders is still considered a bob and can be just as chic and volumizing as the classic bob.

2. Neck-Length Bedhead. The way the waves are twisted in different directions classify this look as messy and sexy. Curl your strands to get extra volume and movement if they look too plain and lifeless.

3. Edgy Beachy Crop. Blonde mixed with brown in this look immediately remind of beach hair with beautiful loose waves. They aren’t meant to be perfect but they are definitely chic.

4. Collarbone Inverted Shape. A basic crop can be so stylish when worn straight and a bit tousled like this one!

5. Inverted Midi Shag. This style will instantly frame your cheekbones. Try it with straight hair or waves.

6. Shattered Choppy Crop. Go for this look if you’re daring – a chopped coif will instantly give you that volume and texture you’ve been missing. You can wear this look straight or wavy with any face shape.

7. Asymmetrical Messy Look. Messiness and asymmetry added to a popular shape creates a dynamic and effortless style you’ll love to wear every day.

8. Midi with Long Front Pieces. If you can’t seem to part with your long mane, try an inverted crop so that you can have shorter strands in the back and longer face-framing pieces in the front.

9. Medium Shag with Sculptured Waves. We love a good choppy shag because it’s current and a breeze to style. This one also boasts a great toasted color.

10. Inverted Stacked Shape. The stacked back adds height and volume to your coif and creates a dynamic shape. Vary the angle of your crop depending on how edgy you want your look to be.

11. Above-the-Shoulders Two-Tier Shag. When your locks grow to that awkward length, chop off about an inch or two so you can get a cute shoulder-grazing shag. It’s easy to style and can be worn wavy, curly, or straight.

12. Slimming Neck-Length Bedhead. A shaggy bedhead is super chic and edgy. Play around with dry shampoo to boost texture and volume.

13. Jaw-Length Style with Sticking-Out Pieces. If you want a coif for thin hair – this is it. You can get texture and additional thickness through uneven choppy pieces. Wear this cutie slightly wavy or curly, and it will be beautiful.

14. Drop Shape with Crisp Texture. Another great option for ladies with thin hair. To take care of your strands, make sure to apply a heat protectant before styling with heat.

15. Mid-Length Beach Waves. A beach-ready midi with razored waves is a cool idea for summer girls. A bronde color and barely there highlights would be welcome.

16. Chunky Choppy Waves. To get these loose waves, curl your hair in bigger pieces for about 10 seconds with a medium sized curling iron. Spray a dry shampoo or finishing spray for additional shine.

17. Stacked Rounded Crop. Straight hair doesn’t have to be boring – add a leave-in conditioner before styling so you can keep the added shine. This look works for any face shape and hair type.

18. Comb-Over Concave Style. An angled cut allows you to enjoy that extra length while having a shorter style overall. Blowing out your hair will show off the concave shape perfectly!

19. Disheveled Light Waves. Experiment with looser waves that give off a sweet vibe to your style. Start curling your hair at mid-shaft and finger comb it at the end to loosen the curls.

20. Rounded Angled Stack. Here’s a neat short look for thicker locks. It’s a good choice for slim, petite ladies.

21. Tapered Coif with Face-Framing Pieces. Switch up an angled crop by adding a balayage affect. You can have the highlight color you want with the coif you want – the best of both worlds.

22. Soft Fine Locks with Dimensional Waves. To get these effortless waves, curl some pieces around a curling barrel for about 10 seconds. A sweet beige highlight color can be perfect for summer when you want to add a playful vibe to your look.

23. Edgy Two-Tone Stack. We love this super chic crop – it can change your image and elevate your look.

24. Angled Burgundy Style. The geometric crop for thick hair has a lot of texture and a perfectly built shape with chunky stacked pieces in the back and extra length in the front.

25. Head-Hugging Oval Shape. A great thing about this midi is that you can customize it to fit your style and face shape. A graduated crop helps you to adjust the length and distribute the volume.

26. Accurate Concave Crop with Texture. Bluntness means accuracy, but you can throw in some choppy surface texture for a less perfect look. The collarbone length is a chic and flattering.

27. Disheveled Comb-Over Shag. The tousled look is so chic and sexy that you can pair it with very simple casual outfits and look gorgeous.

28. Chin-Length Face-Framing Crop. Having highlights and a shadow effect can give you room to play around with dimension and texture. If you don’t want to commit to front bangs, side bangs are always an option.

29. Brunette Textured Waves. Thick-haired ladies will love this coif because the shorter length will immediately bring texture and movement back into your locks.

30. Steeply Angled Shape with a Swoop. Keep your strands sleek by straightening them and adding a leave in conditioner when styling so you can keep your coif frizz-free.

31. Wavy Wolf with Blunt Bangs. We love chic short bangs that we can style with curly or straight hair!

32. Bixie to Make a Statement. Structured and full of texture, this crop is ultra modern and universally flattering. Try it straight or wavy for added height and dynamics.

33. Angled Shape with Soft Texture. When blow drying your locks, go for bouncy ends to give you a chic, flirty look.

34. Medium O-Shape Coif. Calling all thin-haired ladies! If you are struggling with getting that volume and texture, try a textured O-silhouette style with dimensional highlights!

35. Midi Style with Stacked Back. Side bangs or a fringe can add extra height and volume to play with.

36. Short Two-Tier Stack. Pair accuracy with messiness and blend in a delicious color cocktail to achieve an outstanding look for the new season.

37. Inverted Shag with Waves. Balayage waves are so cool because you can see the transition between your natural color and the highlights in the same wave. We love how effortless these transitions are.

38. Rounded Style with Textured Bottom. Regardless of weather or season, this color will always be in style and super chic.

39. Shadow Roots and Feathering. If you’ve had long hair for most of your life, this crop will be super dramatic but life-changing. You’ll have that texture and volume you might have been missing.

40. Edgy Bixie with Blunt Nape. Black will always be popular, and these longer feathers with a razor sharp ends elevate the style even more.

41. Jaggy Piece-y Shag. We can’t get enough of these effortless waves that take minimum styling time!

42. Jaw-Length Bedhead with Blunt Bottom. Using a wave mousse can encourage texture and volume in your hair if you don’t want to use any heat!
