19 Chic Asian Bob Hairstyles That Will Inspire You To Chop It All Off

From K-drama actresses like Seo Ye Ji and Song Hye Kyo, take a look at these chic short hairstyles as inspiration for your next haircut

Bob haircuts are definitely here to stay, and not just for practical reasons. The eternally trendy hairstyle continues to be popular, and whether you have finer or thicker hair, there’s a beautiful bob hairstyle to suit you. Don’t believe us? 

Take it from hair expert Toshihide Mori, representative director of Japan’s Tricca Salon and an ambassador of Shiseido Professional Beauty Creative Team, who shares his advice on short hairstyles for Asian women.

“Many have the perception that it’s difficult to maintain short hair. Hence, it’s best to try out a bob cut with a trustworthy hairstylist,” suggests Toshihide, who has over 20 years’ experience in the hair industry.

Toshihide Mori and his hair creations at the Shiseido Professional Beauty Innovator Awards 2018/19.

“Over the years, there has been a rise in women attaining short and chic classy hairstyles,” he says. Bob hairstyles help create form, and adding a fringe to it helps compliment the entire look. “Having a longer fringe creates a more feminine look,” he says.

Toshihide also recommends layering your hair to suit your particular face shape. “Cutting your hair short without layers to accentuate volume will create a flat hair look which should be avoided,” he says.

What should you do before going to the salon?

Toshihide recommends bringing along photographs of your desired looks to share with your stylist, and then hear your stylist’s recommendations for you based on them. This helps your stylist understand your intentions, so they can recommend a cut that most suits you.

How should you care for your hair right after cutting?

After your haircut session, ask your hairstylist to teach you how to care for your hair. Haircare is different depending on the person, due to factors like how damaged your hair is, the quality of your hair, he says. Toshihide recommends products leave-in treatments like the Shiseido Professional Airy Flow Refiner and the Shiseido Professional Aqua Intensive Oil Unlimited Velvet.

Without further ado, here are 19 chic bob hairstyles and the Korean celebs who wear the hairstyle proud so you can show your stylist:

Though Seo Ye Ji’s long locks are her signature to her look, we love this version of a cut. If you’ve never tried going short, we recommend starting with a long bob. Otherwise known as a lob. Down or up in a hairdo, this sleek look is a stunner.

Song Hye Kyo’s haircut from “Encounter” is one of her more iconic styles. We love how elegant it looks and the long bangs can help frame your eyes beautifully. We love how it looks with the hair half up too.

Wavy deep part

If you want a more sultry take on the bob, go for this wavy deep part. The deep parting helps create the illusion of more volume in the hair and the waves add to the overall shape.

Rounded ends

The trick of this hairdo is more in the styling than in the actual haircut itself. Round out the ends with a styling tool so that your hair frames your jawline and can create the illusion of a longer face. We love how the long bangs add an extra touch of dimension as well.

Shaggy centre part

Kim Go Eun’s more mature look in “Goblin” was an understated centre-part. We love how textured and wavy this hairdo looks and it adds a twist to the otherwise common sleek bob.

A lob with a deep side parting may just do the trick of giving you a slimmer-looking face. Opt for permed ends to give your hair more movement.

Try going even shorter with a pixie cut that’s suitable both thick and thin hair. It’ll help bring out your cheekbones and eyes too.

Enhance your bob hairstyle by colouring your hair a trendy, work-friendly mushroom brown that instantly peps up your entire look.

Hwang Jung Eum’s layered and wavy ‘do creates a fuller and more triangle shape around the face. This helps create the illusion of a slimmer and sharper face, and if your fine hair needs a little extra boost – consider getting a perm to set this style in place.

We love how these ashy colours blend together to this beautiful blonde fitting for Asian skin tones. If you want to get this look, simply ask your hairdresser to stick to ashy tones and a balayage will help make your hair look seamless even as your roots grow out.
