The Best Blonde Bobs With Fringe Inspiration For Spring And How To Style Them

If you're ready to take your golden hair to the next level this spring, why not experiment with a blonde bob with fringe?

Marrying two of the biggest hair trends of the year - the bob haircut and a fringe -, this look may take a little extra effort to maintain, but it will cut styling time in half as the haircut itself is the major talking point.

'Short hair with bangs create a really strong stylised look,' agrees session stylist Abigail Constanza. 'The main benefit is really the cut should do all the work for you, leaving minimal styling.'

It's a style that many A-listers turn to whenever they want to make an impactful statement. Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Florence Pugh have all had their blonde bob with bangs era, serving us plenty of style inspo while they're at it.

How to achieve the blonde bob with fringe

We're firm believers that the hairstyle rulebook is far from prescriptive. Whatever style you feel most comfortable and confident (and happy!) in, is always the right style for you.

But if you need a little guidance, do consider your natural hair type. Those with waves will fare well with the laidback appeal of French girl bobs while poker-straight hair will sit nicely as a blunt cut. Bobs for Afro hair should bring out the best of your curls while an even-length haircut is ideal for thinner strands as it gives the illusion of fullness.

As for the fringe, there are a myriad of styles to choose from - whether you prefer a bold approach or something subtle that's more versatile. Full fringes are having a major moment, while curtain fringes and bottleneck bangs are the professional's favourite as they can quickly be pinned back should you prefer to go fringe-free. Feeling fearless? The micro-bang will do the trick.

'Working with your stylist to find the best fringe and short hair cut combo is super important. It needs to be part of the whole look and cohesive to the style,' says Constanza.

Styling blonde bobs with fringe

Before committing to the chop, make sure you seek advice from your hairstylist about at-home maintenance so you can replicate the look long after you've left the salon. A round brush and hairdryer will often do the trick, but useful products such as a texturising pomade or curl enhancers are useful for keeping in your arsenal.

'You can add interest to these looks with really simple accessories - tuck one side behind the ear and add big earrings, add a headscarf,' shares Constanza. She adds: 'Maybe add a statement hair clip or scrunchie, adding details will change the feel and allow you to be creative with the look, even if you don’t have much length to your hair.'
