Today, I wanna talk about bob styles with some color. It’s been a while since I changed up my hair, and I was itching for something new. So, I did some digging online, looking for inspiration.

I started by searching for “bob styles,” just to see what’s out there. I knew I wanted a bob, but there are so many variations! I saw a bunch of pictures of “micro bobs,” which are super short, hitting right around the jawline. They look cute, but I wasn’t sure if I was ready for such a drastic change.
Then I started thinking about colors. I have some friends who used to make their hair with colorful styles. I’ve always loved how bold colors can transform a simple cut, so I searched for images with colorful bobs. I found some cool ideas, like a bright red bob and a deep blue one. Also, a friend of mine mentioned using Ankara styles which is very popular in Nairaland. I think I should try them one day.
After going through many options, I decided to go for a shoulder-length bob with some long layers. I went to my trusted hair salon with these ideas in my head, and I had a conversation with my stylist about what I wanted. I told him that I saw some online trends about adding long layers to make hair look thicker, and he agreed that it would work well for me.
- Cut: We cut my hair to shoulder length and added long layers throughout to give it more volume and movement.
- Color: I chose a vibrant purple shade. It’s not too loud, but it’s definitely noticeable and fun. The stylist applied the color, making sure it was evenly distributed.
- Styling: After washing out the color, he dried my hair and styled it with some loose waves. I really like the final look. I think a front left slit will make it look even better.
Here’s what we did:
I’m really happy with how it turned out! The color is exactly what I wanted, and the cut is perfect. It feels fresh and stylish, and it’s a big change from my previous style. Plus, the layers really do make my hair look fuller, which is a nice bonus.
It’s amazing how a new hairstyle can boost your confidence. I feel like a new person! I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on it, too, which is always nice. If you’re thinking about changing your hair, I definitely recommend trying a bob with some color. It’s a fun and easy way to update your look!

For those who have a round face, I think it is better to cut the hairstyle to make your face look slim. I saw some people on Tumblr shared their arts with this style. It seems that very short styles can make your face look rounder. I don’t want that happen to me. Also, I noticed that some online stores like VICI provide good fashion styles. Their styles are affordable, but I didn’t buy any because I already spent too much on my hair today.
I’ve also been experimenting with different ways to style it. Sometimes I wear it straight, and other times I add some curls. It’s pretty versatile, which is great. Anyway, that’s my hair adventure for now. I might try something different next time, but for now, I’m loving my colorful bob!
This is my sharing today. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading!
