A choppy inverted bob is a short haircut that’s longer in the front than in the back and with razor-cut ends and layers. Adding chopped layers and texture to an inverted bob is best for women with thick or thin hair.
You can never go wrong with that extra element that texture and short hair give! With different lengths of layers, this bob offers that on-trend tousled-hair experience. Add that precise inverted angle and you’ll have the chicest look you can ever get!
One word – suitability. This is the biggest advice of hair expert and salon owner Maxwell Maisano from Florida. According to Maxwell, “check your hairline and nape and look for growth patterns and natural texture. The shorter you go with hair that has a natural wave and curls, the more those waves and curls get amplified,” he says.
Looking for celebrity-approved inspos? I bet you’ll love the cropped haircuts of Diane Kruger and Kelly Rowland as much as I do! To nail this effortless inverted choppy bob haircut, Maxwell recommends dry texture sprays. “It’s a great final product to help bring out the texture and create separation in the finished look,” he says.
Contrary to popular belief, this type of bob can need a bit of maintenance. “This is not necessarily a wash-and-go sort of look,” says Maxwell. “There is a degree of ‘daily finessing’ that goes into it.” Also, he advises asking yourself these major questions. “Will this look good with my face shape? Do I have the kind of hair to support this look?”
If you answer yes to all these then waste no time at all. Go ahead and look at these inspiring photos of the choppy inverted bobs!

The Choppy Inverted Short Bob
I love a good choppy bob that’s inverted because it’s a modern twist on a classic. For the haircut, we determined her length by how much hair she wanted to see when it was tucked behind her ear. We tapered in the base of her neck to reduce that “bubble feeling” we thick-haired girls get! Also, we kept her layers long, so she can rock a top knot and keep the styling quick with her gorgeous natural waves. I also love how her old highlights (that we are growing out) accentuate the choppiness of the overall look.
When considering if a choppy bob is right for you, look at the density of your hair. It truly matters in how much styling time you’ll have. Fine/flat hair may need a little bit more time with their hot tools to play and define pieces.
Also, if you have that straight/silky hair but love the look of this, you may want to invest in some styling products to help you get a grittier texture like a texturizing sea spray or a thickening mousse and some hairspray. The guest in the photo has tons of wavy hair. If you have a high density, most of the “choppy feel” happens naturally! Sometimes your stylist will go in once the hair is styled and add some additional texture by dry-cutting. We styled her with a moisturizing anti-frizz cream and did a few beachy waves with the 1″ Neuro Rod from Paul Mitchell. The haircut is great for a more narrow shaped jawline.
Perfect Choppy Bob for Fine Hair
This inverted, choppy bob is as effortlessly chic as it is super easy to maintain. I wanted to give my client, Jody, a lived-in look which is why I opted for this type of colour placement. I handpainted sections starting a little further down from the root to ensure a seamless grow out. I added more highlights around the face and sides for added brightness and less at the back for dimension.
I cut Jody’s hair into an inverted bob and added some texture into the layers for a more modern vibe. This cut is especially flattering for you girls who have fine hair, as it adds the illusion of fullness and volume. It also looks best on you babes with oval, square, or heart-shaped faces.
My favorite thing about this look is that it is extremely versatile as it can be worn sleek and straight or curly and tousled. I achieved the waves you see here by first spraying Body Mass by Kevin Murphy directly onto her roots and some Body Builder mousse, also from Kevin Murphy, from mid-shaft to ends. I then blowdried her hair with a medium-sized round brush and used a 1″ curling iron to achieve that stylish bend.
If you are looking to update your hairstyle, now is definitely the time, as spring is well on its way and this is definitely one to consider!
Choppy Inverted Pixie Bob
This inverted bob with choppy hair looks as edgy, fun, and choppy. This is definitely not a mom-bob!
The textured feel of this edgy choppy bob cut is further enhanced by lots of highlights. I love this look because the line of the cut draws the jawline upward and accentuates an elegant neck.
My favorite product for this look is Architecture by L’Oreal Professional. It is a pomade that has just the right amount of hold to give freedom in separating the hair for movement and molding the shape without the stickiness of a hairspray.
This look requires minimal styling effort (no brushes required) and is therefore great for people on the go. While you aren’t going to get a ponytail for the gym, how darn cute would this be with a headband??!!👍🏼
Inverted Medium-Length Choppy Bob
This medium-length inverted bob cut is a stylish texturized inverted bob.
This choppy cut is a great option for many different hair types. Styling with an iron to create beach waves brings out the choppy layers and gives them more definition. I like to finish with a dry texturizing spray for a less “styled” look. This cut also looks great worn straight or on naturally curly hair. It’s a very versatile haircut.
