Will an Italian bob suit me? Try it on your own face first
An Italian bob sits somewhere around the chin or jaw, a little fuller and softer than a sharp blunt bob. The ends are heavy, the shape is rounded, and it's meant to look a bit undone rather than polished.
It's one of the easier short cuts to wear because the volume does the work. Upload one selfie and Coifly shows you an Italian bob on your own face in about a minute.

Italian bob vs French bob
A French bob is shorter, usually at the cheekbone or chin, and almost always worn with a fringe. An Italian bob is a little longer and fuller, often without bangs, and has more movement at the ends.
If you want something soft and grown-up, the Italian bob. If you want something sharp with bangs, the French bob.
Who an Italian bob suits
The rounded shape and volume at the sides suit long and oval faces well. On a round face, a side part and slightly longer front pieces keep it from adding width.
It's good for fine hair, because the heavy ends make it look thicker, and for wavy hair, which gives it natural movement.
Italian bob over 40
It's a common choice for women over 40 because it looks full and polished with very little styling, and it frames the face without being severe.
Questions
- Can I get an Italian bob with bangs?
- Yes. Curtain bangs suit it especially well and keep the soft look.
- Is an Italian bob good for fine hair?
- Yes. The ends are left heavy, which makes fine hair look thicker.
- What does it cost?
- Your preview is drawn right away and shown with the part below the eyes blurred. Seeing it in full takes a small pack of tries.
- Will my face look different?
- No. Coifly puts your own face back over the result, so only the hair changes. General image tools often shift your eyes, skin or jawline; this doesn't.
