Bob Hairstyles Over 40

The bob, a straight-cut hairstyle that can be any length, is recognized as one of the most perennially chic hairstyles for women of all ages. For women over 40, bob hairstyles are a convenient way to have a face-framing hairstyle that makes the most of hair's natural texture and thickness.

While many bobs are straight or wavy, curly hair carries the cut well. Just see how adorable Meg Ryan's hair looks in a curly bob. The shorter length and volume really flatter a mature face well (because many of us lose fullness in the face as we age.) Although Meg parts her hair down the middle, this cut would look just as cute parted to the side.
