One of the most tested hairstyles for women over 40 is the bob cut. The chin length bob can help enhance your face structure and your jaw line. You can experiment with the traditional bob cut, the inverted bob cut or the asymmetrical bob cut. The traditional bob cut refers a cut straight around the head and has a length which is anywhere below the years. Inverted Bob is quite cute, stylish and eternally graceful!

The inverted bob cut is cut short and tapered in the back. You can leave it to grow longer and slant towards the face. You can pair the look with a smooth cut and choppy layers. You can get rid off all the claims the hairdos are just for the cute teens. An inverted bob is perfect for people with a thin and triangular face. As to the asymmetrical bob cut, the bob is tapered in the back and maintained longer in the front. One side of the hair is made longer than the other and angled towards the face. You can pair the style with side swept bangs and blunt bangs around the forehead.
