A short, stacked bob is a women’s haircut that’s cut shorter and at an angle, making the front longer and the back shorter and rounded with layers. This way, a stacked cut allows the hair to pack extra volume even when it’s cut super short by making the angles more striking!
Look up to fashion stars Victoria Beckham, Jenny McCarthy, Evan Rachel Wood, and Halle Berry and how they pulled off a short bob that’s stacked and made it timeless! What’s exciting is that their stylish stacked bobs can now be easily duplicated in a variety of style.
Color and haircut specialist Daisy Villa from San Diego, California wows her clients with how she brings out the best version of their short hair regardless of their hair types – curly, straight, and wavy – the results are unfailingly super chic and cute!
Based on your face shape, desired length, and hair density, your hairdresser can also incorporate highlights, bangs, an A-line, or an undercut to suit your personality. Consider this your ultimate hairstyle change that’s surely flattering no matter your age and character. I will say this though, stacked bobs are perfect short haircuts for women over 60!

At the same time, it’s very versatile so that it can fit any occasion if styled a certain way.”

This high-stacked bob is so versatile and easy to wear and style. It’s perfect for ladies with thick hair and medium to fine hair because it takes lots of the weight out giving texture (thick), creating volume, body, and movement (medium to fine).

Stacked Bob For Curly Hair
This is a short stacked bob haircut with an asymmetrical shape. “Dry and wet cutting techniques were used to achieve this short hairstyle,” says salon owner and hairstylist Mandy Rogers of British Columbia, CA.
“When working with natural curl it’s really important to create a strong foundation to the cut while it is damp with low tension,” explains Rogers. “Use freehand texturizing and cutting techniques to enhance the natural shape of the curl. This was achieved using a straight and curved shear for the cut. Curved shears can work wonders when trying to manipulate the direction of a curl.”
The strong lines of the inverted bob combined with the disconnected curls create a beautiful shape. The asymmetry is so flattering and this cut looks great from every angle and can work on women of all ages.
“When it comes to face shape, this stacked bob hairstyle is fantastic on the majority. The one exception is the heart-shaped face. A lob is a better choice in that case,” she adds.
Gels, sea salt sprays, waxes, and wax sprays are more suited for the style. In short, this is a cut for a woman who has the time to style their hair for 30 min a day. If you take the time, it can be a super fun, sassy, and sophisticated style.
Short Stacked Bob with an Undercut
A short hair is a stacked bob cut that is a fun, edgy, but also stylish and professional style.
What’s also great about it is the undercut. If you’re unsure about if you want a straighter cut, ask your stylist for an asymmetrical short bob with an undercut in the back.
There was a lot of texture put into this stacked cut, to give the feeling of weightlessness. Starting with a traditional triangular shape, a more extreme angle was created to preserve length in the front.
Having the right amount of hair is crucial for short stacked haircuts. This will not work well for women with super fine or very thin hair. But on the flip side, too much hair or natural texture can make this very difficult to achieve, which may also need a lot of work to style.
A very short stacked bob cut for women with a round face shape is not recommended. This is because it would only create more roundness for them.
Beautiful Blonde Stacked Bob Cut
