10 Straight Bob Haircuts That Are Trending Right Now

Autumn is the time of year when many of us consider a new haircut or hair colour refresh. Bob hairstyles have been having a huge moment over the pat couple of years (we’re looking at you Italian bob, blunt bob and the bell-bottom bob) and if the current autumn hair trends are anything to go by, short hair is remaining just as popular this year. That’s right, the short hair era is far from over in 2024.

In fact, searches for ‘straight bob haircut’ are up 200% on Google right now, so it seems many of us are trading in our bouncy blowout bobs from the summer for smooth and sleek styles in the season ahead. Tom Smith, hairstylist and hair trend expert, has tipped the sleek and precision silhouette to be big news for bobs this autumn, and expects both the laser cut bob and tucked bob to be huge.

If you’re ready to embrace a straight bob haircut, scroll ahead for the chicest sleek bob haircuts to take to the salon, plus the best products to achieve the look at home.

Straight Bob Haircut Ideas

1. Straight Razor-Cut Bob

Hailey Bieber has some great bob hairstyles, but this razor-cut straight bob still feels really chic with the jaw-skimming length.

2. Long Straight Bob

If you still want a little bit of length, then a longer bob (or lob hairstyle) means you can still tie your hair back.

3. Tucked Straight Bob

There’s something about a straight bob haircut that gives your hair a chic, almost graphic silhouette. I particularly love a straight bob haircut tucked behind the ears, and the tucked bob trend is going to be big news this autumn.

4. Straight Bob Haircut With Layers

Adding a few layers can prevent your bob haircut from falling too flat when it’s styled straight. I love the subtle tousled texture of Rochelle Humes’ bob.

5. Face-Framing Straight Bob

If poker straight hair isn’t for you, try rounding your straightening iron inwards to create a curved shape to frame your face.

6. Slicked-Back Staright Bob
