3. The Fine-Hair Bob - Forgive us for going on about “versatility”, but bob styles work with almost every hair type too, including thin hair, thick hair, straight and curly. And all hair colors to boot. To minimize the potential for the “lifeless” look with fine hair, keep the length between the bottom of your ear and your jawline.
