Flipped Bob Hairstyles: 19 Amazing Ideas
A flipped bob turns simple ends into the main feature.
- Flipped bobs use outward-turned ends to add width and movement, giving a simple bob a clear retro-inspired silhouette.
- A round brush, flat iron, or small hot brush can create the flip, with light hold spray helping the ends stay directed.
- The finish can be sleek, wavy, or softly tousled, so the technique works across several bob lengths and textures.
Center-Part Flipped Bob
Center-Part Flipped Bob uses the turned-out ends to create movement without adding lots of layers. A round brush or flat iron can direct the tips outward while keeping the roots smooth.
Curly Flipped Bob
With Curly Flipped Bob, the flip widens the silhouette at the ends and gives the bob a clear retro note. Keep the bend concentrated near the bottom so the shape does not become too puffy.
Retro Flipped Bob
Retro Flipped Bob works because the outward curve becomes the focal point of an otherwise simple bob. A light mist of flexible hairspray will help the ends hold without making them stiff.
Two-Tone Flipped Bob
The finish on Two-Tone Flipped Bob proves a flip can be soft rather than costume-like. Smooth the mid-lengths first, then turn only the last few centimetres away from the neck.
Micro-Fringe Flip
Micro-Fringe Flip gives a short bob extra personality with very little change to the actual cut. It is especially easy to recreate on straight to softly wavy hair.
How to get it: Turn only the last few centimetres outward with a round brush or flat iron.
Side-Part Black Flip
With Side-Part Black Flip, the direction at the ends adds width and movement around the jawline. Use a small round brush if you want a stronger curve, or a flat iron for a cleaner flick.
Slicked Flipped Bob
Slicked Flipped Bob keeps the roots controlled while letting the perimeter kick outward. That contrast is what makes the shape look intentional instead of simply bent from the shoulders.
Wavy Flipped Bob
The flipped finish in Wavy Flipped Bob is a quick way to refresh a bob between trims. A little smoothing serum on the mids can keep the outward ends defined and glossy.
Tousled Flipped Bob
Tousled Flipped Bob uses the turned-out ends to create movement without adding lots of layers. A round brush or flat iron can direct the tips outward while keeping the roots smooth.
Shaggy Flipped Bob
With Shaggy Flipped Bob, the flip widens the silhouette at the ends and gives the bob a clear retro note. Keep the bend concentrated near the bottom so the shape does not become too puffy.
Holds better with: A flexible hairspray focused on the flipped ends, not the roots.
