Fancy something hot and trendy? That’s exactly what the sassy stacked bob hairstyle offers you — an on-trend look that everyone will marvel at. With so many benefits and very few positives, and also a look for every face shape, hair type, and even personal preference, the stacked bob certainly holds in own weight when it comes to top short hair looks.

1 – Added Dimension and Texture

In terms of the most flattering, stacked bob hairstyles rock the short hair world. If you add the stacking to an A-line bob, you’re also adding some volume and thickness to the occasion, and when you add highlights and other colors dimensions into the mix, you have a look that is super flattering, whatever the case.

2 – Bright Purple and Sleek Stacked Bob

Vibrant colors can make short bobs really stand out, especially if you want to make a big statement with your hair. You have your pick of the colors too. This purple one makes a big impact, but with so many choices, you really can get away with being a bit experimental.

3 – Lilac Toned Blonde Stacked Bob

Lilac tones are perfect for when you want to add a splash of color, but not too much. A white toner will often help you to get this white and lilac hue at home if you’ve had the cut already done in the salon. Those pretty, soft layers offer the perfect look to show off every tone used in the design.

4 – Soft & Stacked

Those stacked bobs add stacked layers at the back, hence the name. (It kinda gives it away really, doesn’t it?) Those layers serve many purposes though, and can be worn both with longer layers and shorter ones. The biggest benefit they offer, of course, is adding more volume to limp and lifeless locks.

5 – Icy Blonde Stacked Bob

One of the biggest advantages of short hair is that it is generally quicker and easier in the morning to get ready. Longer hair takes a longer time to wash, dry and then style than shorter hair, and with locks like this, you could be ready in no time at all. A few extra minutes in bed sure sounds nice, right?

6 – Seamless Stacked Bob

The bad news is that you won’t just be able to put your hair into some sort of messy bun or easy ponytail when you opt for the chop, and this is often what comes as the biggest surprise to those who go from long to short hair very quickly. Make sure you know what you’re up against when you opt for stacked bob haircuts like this one. You will need to go through some sort of styling regime in the morning. No throw-up-and-go.

7 – Short & Sassy Stacked Bob Haircuts

Keep things short and sassy with this cute and blonde stacked bob style. Darker and lighter tones of blonde have been blended together wonderfully to give this some bounce and depth. The stacked layers towards the back, plus a few sassy layers, really make the whole design come to life.

8 – Purple Tinged Stacked Bob

If you want to play around with a few new colors and shades, but don’t feel like going for colors that are too bright and bold, this purple-tinged look is a great one to take a little inspiration from. Sometimes a subtle pop of color will make more of an impact than really brave shades.

9 – Awesome Angles Stacked Bob Haircuts

The back of this look will require a good stylist, so make sure you’re picking the right hairdresser for the job. The stacked cut requires layers added to the back in such a way that it adds oomph and volume. If it’s done the wrong way, it could just leave your hair looking even more limp and lifeless.

10 – Grey Toned Stacked Bob & Flat Iron Curls

Curling with flat irons is becoming a big deal right now, and it’s a lot easier than you’d think to recreate at home too. Rather than pulling down on the hair with your straightening irons, flick it out instead. Different flick directions and tightnesses will give you different finished looks, so have a good play around and see what happens.

11 – Stacked Lob & Face Framing Highlights

Highlights or lighter tones around the front of your face is a great way to keep things light, whilst protecting the rest of your locks. Blonde all over will often require a lot of lightening treatments, and these will damage your hair. By keeping things natural and dark over the majority of your locks, you’re causing minimal damage, but the light face-framing tones still brings in all the benefits.

12 – Stormy Weather Coloured Stacked Lob

Of course, you could always go for a really strong color choice when looking at the right stacked bob haircuts for you. You could get really creative when you play around with color, and you’ll often find that the addition of different shades will also add extra depth to your hair, making it appear thicker.  Have a chat with your colorist to see what shades and tones they’d recommend for you.

13 – Stacked & A-Line with Chocolate Highlights

Your hair will take barely any time at all to dry when it’s short like this, so why not take full advantage of that by letting your hair dry naturally. Blow drying and other heated styling tools are well known to sap your locks of the moisture it needs and could result in the style being dry and frizzy, rather than cute and easy to manage.

14 – Working With Your Waves

Blunt cuts are not so great for unpredictable curls, so go for something razored or soft and wispy to stop your style from looking too unruly. You should also look at investing in some good styling products. You don’t need to spend a small fortune on your hair and beauty products, but you do need to find something that works well for your hair and style. If your hairstylist has managed to make your hair look a million dollars, why not start by asking what products they used. Most hair salons will give you the opportunity to but them and take them home with you.

15 – Pink Riot Soft & Stacked Bob

Both straight and wavy hair types suit the stacked bob, but fine and straight hair seems to do remarkably well with it. If you have that type of hair and you haven’t opted for a shorter bob or lob ‘do yet, you’re missing a trick!

16 – Shaved & Stacked Bob

Half shaved, half stacked, it’s a look that packs a punch, that’s for sure. The contrast of hard and punky with soft and feminine works together so well, we can’t find a single reason not to go for it ourselves. If you have delicate facial features, this look is an absolute winner for you.

17 – Stacked & Razored Bob

Soft and angled stacked bob hairstyles like this one work on virtually any face shape, just one of the reasons they have grown increasingly popular of late. Add harsher layers for a more punked-up and edgy effect, or keep things soft and sleek, just like this pretty bob look.

18 – Simple & Fresh Short Bob

A line stacked bob styles are always a great idea and can add plenty of life to limp and lifeless hair that needs a good injection of oomph. Keeping things both layered and angled like this means that you can keep some of the lengths, but still enjoying all the benefits that short hair has to offer.

19 – Burgundy Waves

This beautiful and flawless silhouette is stunning to look at, and should be the aim of the game when you want a flawless and seamless stacked bob look. The soft layers work well with the sharp angles, stopping the look from being too severe on the face.

20 – Beautiful Soft Textures

Lobs, also known as long bobs, are regular bobs but left a little longer. Again, the name kinda gives it away. If you’re too afraid to go super short, like some of the other stacked bob hairstyles we’ve shown you, leave the layers a little longer and get used to it slowly but surely. You can always go shorter over time. If you opt for a short style right away and then hate it, on the other hand, your only option is to rely on hair extensions.

21 – Cute & Soft Stacked Wispy Bob

Shorter layers around the front of the face are incredibly flattering, and this is more so the case when you have a square face or a long face. With the long face, the layers help to break up the length and add curves, and with the square face, it helps to round things off a little.

22 – Inverted & Slightly Stacked

Most bob styles have the potential to match many face shapes, but you may need to tweak a few bits here and there to make it work for yours. If you have a long face shape, or it’s quite square-looking, a longer bob (or lob) is the most flattering for you.

23 – Stacked & Highlighted Long Bob

Those cute waves add something youthful to a look, perfect for the mature woman looking for cute stacked bob hairstyles to bring some fun to the mix. Work with the natural waves you already have in your hair. Working against them will just be hard work and pointless, especially when it could look this cute!

24 – Icy Cool Bob

With a look like this, you can expect to head back to the salon for maintenance and trims every three to six weeks. Certain looks, especially those with color, will require slightly more maintenance than others, and this is something that you should also have a chat with your stylist and colorist about. The last thing you’ll want is a look that requires super amounts of trimming and maintenance when you can only spare an hour once every six weeks!

25 – Stacked & Edgy Bob

With a look like this one, you have the perfect combination of a short, pixie look, mixed with a stylish stacked bob. Asymmetrical styles are perfect for adding something cute, yet edgy to the occasion.

26 – Highlight Lowlight Brown Beige Bob

Shorter hair will require a little more in the way of washing than longer hair. Again, with longer hair, you have the option of throwing your hair back into a pony or messy bun on days when your locks are greasy but you can’t be bothered to give them a wash. Dry shampoo will become your new best friend. It’s probably best that you embrace that now.

27 – Stacked Bob Plus Highlights

The neck is actually considered to be one of the sexiest body parts on a woman, so the fact that you’re showing it off with stacked bob hairstyles like this one means that you’re just ramping up the sex appeal.

28 – Long to Short & Stacked Transformation

Going from a really long look to a really short look can be the scariest thing in the world, especially if you don’t really know what kind of look you’d like to walk out of the salon with, in the first place. We would recommend booking up a consultation with your hairstylist, especially if you are opting for something really dramatic and different.

29 – Sexy, Sassy, Stacked Chic

Gather as many photos together as you can when you book your appointment with a hairdresser too. You will want to show them as many looks as you can that have the elements you like in them. If you like the cut of one look, but the color of another, for example, take both shots in and let the artist see what kind of thing you’d like to walk out with. Explaining something to a stylist when you don’t really know what to call the tones or cut you’d like will be really difficult. A picture speaks a thousand words, as they say.

30 – Rose Gold Angled Stacked Bob

There are plenty of length options to play around with when you’re looking at stacked bob haircuts. As well as ranging from the super short, something like this, for example, you could also opt for something much longer, keeping the layers that flatter your face.
