Haley Ramm (18) has a medium bob for teenagers. The popular cut has been around for decades; the modern element is the razored layers. They are subtle and sweet. It is an example of an unfussy option; it requires minimal daily maintenance. Haley has long bangs which are full and grouped; they bend a little instead of being stick straight. Bobs are risky if you have a pointed chin but at least hers isn't short. She isn't really a redhead, incidentally; the warm glow is from the lighting.

Joan Lunden (60) with a short bob haircut. Joan fell in love with this type of style a long time ago, and really hasn't had much of a makeover since. The main thing that changes if anything is the length; but she always has bangs. Sometimes, as in this case, she modifies the shape so it is tapered. That's progress compared to the blunt ends she had a few years ago. This is more pretty and feminine. However, the cut to just below the ears adds some emphasis to her prominent chin.

[+] Rihanna (23) shows off a mid-length bob that has very thick texture. There are understated waves but it's just too big for her. The unusual shape is also questionable. The funky bend opposite her eyes on one side can make you think she fell asleep with wet hair and that's how it set. It's certainly not doing anything for the black icon. The basic idea is okay in terms of structure, but everything should be toned down (volume and angles). It's simply too loud. Once downsized it can become super cute! The intense red hair color matches what she had for her new perfume poster. This picture was at an event to launch it.

Serene Branson (31) with a very long bob hairstyle. Nowadays it's fairly uncommon among reporters and celebrities despite being a classic. Although it's a nice enough design and perfectly brushed, it's not the most flattering on Serene. She has a long face and this cut simply makes it look longer. She has great hair but a better choice would be medium length or at least wider. She could also benefit from more texture, but this cut does make her appear younger. (Courtesy ABC)
