When Megan Fox debuted the airy, tousled cut her hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos dubbed “the cowgirl bob”, it was immediately clear that summer’s hottest haircut had arrived. Straddling the line between last year’s cowgirl cut and the French bob, the cowgirl bob is effortless but fresh, and we’re here for it.
Ahead, all the inspo you need to kick off your country girl era.
1. Razored Cowgirl Bob
The cowgirl bob is is full but textured. Ask your stylist for long layers to create a bouncy, airy look that makes this haircut so attractive.
2. Blunt Bob With Wispy Bangs
Pair your favorite style of bangs with the cowgirl bob to personalize it. They’re optional for this look, but they will give you an even softer and more laid-back vibe.
3. Bob With Full Fringe
The cowgirl bob was created on Megan’s straight hair, so if yours is textured, you’ll need to style it if you want to achieve the same look—or you can wear it natural and still enjoy the vibe!
4. Choppy Cowgirl Bob
Leaning a bit more into the cowgirl side of the aesthetic, a choppier version of the style has an edgy, effortless look perfectly in line with the rising grunge trend.
5. Shaggy Lob With Fringe
The cowgirl cut is wearable and easy rather than polished. Lean into the low-maintenance look by pairing it with a super choppy fringe.
6. Jaw-Length Bob With Bangs
Want your cowgirl bob to be more French than country? Opt for the typical French bob length, but make it shattered and tousled like the style that inspired you.
7. Wavy Cowgirl Bob
Achieve the tousled look of the cowgirl bob and add body to fine or thin hair by working in a texture spray or cream.
8. Short Cowgirl Bob
You love your bobs really short? Go for it. While Megan’s cowgirl bob hits the collarbone, your can make yours shorter and still achieve the look if the rest is the same.
9. Choppy Bob With Curtain Bangs
At this point, we all agree that face-framing curtain bangs are here to stay, no matter what haircut you’re wearing. This is how to pair them with a cowgirl bob.
10. Long Bob With Fringe
If you prefer a thicker fringe, make it choppy and layered to achieve the bedhead vibe of the cowgirl bob.
11. Choppy French Bob
Most summer haircut trends involve bangs of some kind, and you have plenty of styles to choose from. If you’re looking to elongate your face, opt for a layered fringe that adds volume on top.
12. Shaggy Bob
The slight wave gives the cowgirl bob its lived-in, casual vibe that makes it so charming. If your hair is naturally wavy, all you need is some salt spray to achieve the look. It doesn’t need to be perfect—in fact, it looks best when it’s a little messy.
13. Cowgirl Bob With Side Part
The side part and side-swept bangs are coming back big time, so jump ahead of the curve and wear your cowgirl bob side parted—it comes with bonus volume at the crown!
14. Textured Bob With Bangs
When asking for the cut, tell your stylist you want texture, but not a visibly layered look. Adding texture while taking the weight out of the hair makes the cowgirl bob wearable while remaining full.
15. Cowgirl Bob With Long Bangs
When it comes to styling, the cowgirl bob looks better the less you mess with it. Apply styling cream to maintain the definition and keep fly-aways at bay and air dry for the most natural-looking finish.
