Full-bodied and soft-edged

Italian Bob

A chin-length bob with real body and a gentle bend at the ends rather than a razor-sharp line — round and full rather than graphic.

Chin lengthStraight · WavyMedium daily effort

Why it can work

The soft bend and fullness make chin-length hair look intentionally voluminous instead of just short, which reads as polished rather than plain.

Texture fit

Works well on straight and wavy hair, where the ends bend into shape most naturally with a round brush or a curling iron.

Daily effort and upkeep

Medium upkeep — a shape trim every 6–10 weeks keeps the bend consistent, with 5–10 minutes of daily styling to rebuild the fullness.

One real trade-off

The bend at the ends is styled in, not permanent, so left to air-dry the shape tends to fall softer and less full than the styled version.
