7. Face-framing bob

If you’re considering a short-to medium-length haircut, the bob is an excellent choice. Standard versions vary in length, but most land above the shoulders to just below the ear tips. We’ve seen J-Lo and Lisa Kudrow wear this style in recent years, but it was Faye Dunaway’s version in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde" that first grabbed our attention. The face-framing characteristic of this style is only one of its virtues. It enhances silver and naturally gray hair, as Dame Helen Mirren has shown us with her shorter version.
