#5: The French Bob
The French Bob combines a short bob with a short bang, creating a fun, lighthearted style filled with versatility. It frames the face beautifully and requires minimal styling. This style is great for women who embrace eclectic clothing styles, fun jewelry and a cetain ‘je ne sais quoi’ attitude.
#6: The Pixie Cut

The Long & Wavy is a perfect haircut for women with a slight natural wave who can embrace the layers to create volume and movement.

#12: Big, Bold & Grey
By embracing natural gray hair plus a long and untamed style, the Big, Bold & Grey is a stylish, low-maintenance option that showcases confidence and authenticity. This look is perfect for any woman with naturally gray hair looking for an effortless yet trendy style.
