If you're exploring ways to spice up your hairstyle for summer, you can search no more: the asymmetrical bob haircut is the epitome of chic with a slight edge (literally). Unlike the classic bob, this style is purposely cut unevenly — one side of the hair is longer than the other. It's the perfect look for anyone craving a change that's easy-breezy, thanks to its relatively low maintenance. Even better, the hairstyle can take you from long days to a night out on the town effortlessly.
Throughout the years, tons of celebrities have experimented with asymmetrical bobs. Actresses like Sandra Oh, Kerry Washington and Nina Dobrev have been major trendsetters, but there are so many ways to make the look completely your own. Think funky bangs, striking hair colors and cut length, from long to medium and short. See ahead for all the inspiration you need for the best asymmetrical bob haircuts that are especially popular this year.
