Are you a bob-haired beauty struggling with how to style your hair for a job application photo? π€ "Long hair can be tied up, but what do I do with a bob?" If the company you're applying to doesn't require you to tie your hair up, a bob is a perfectly acceptable hairstyle option.
For example, I have prominent cheekbones, so tied-up hairstyles don't suit me. I interviewed with a bob and got the job! This is what people with bobs say most often when preparing for job application photos. It's easy to feel like you have no options since you can't do an updo or ponytail like you can with long hair. But the truth is, there are bob hairstyles that are perfect for job application photos. Today, I'm going to share 3 bob haircut styles for job application photos.
Style 1 β Slightly Inward-Curled Bob (In-Curl Bob)
This is the most classic choice for a bob in a job application photo. Curling the ends slightly inward gives a neat and sophisticated look. Key Points
- Slightly curl just the ends inward β Curling too strongly can look unnatural.
- Tuck it behind your ear or let it fall naturally β both are OK.
- Slight root volume β Flat hair can make your face look bigger.
Recommended for: When you want a soft, approachable impression; first-time job application photo takers
Style 2 β Neat Bob Tucked Behind the Ears
This style reveals one or both ears. It clearly shows your facial contours and gives a neat impression. Key Points
- Secure with a pin or finish with earrings.
- Create volume with a 6:4 part.
- Be sure to tidy up stray hairs around your ears β this is the biggest cause of a messy look.
Recommended for: When you want a clear, confident impression; people with a beautiful jawline
Style 3 β Naturally Down Bob (Straight)
This style lets your hair fall naturally without any special styling. However, you can't just let it fall; root volume and tidy ends are key. Key Points
- Without root volume, your face will look wide β blow-dry to lift the roots.
- A 6:4 part is essential β a 5:5 part will make your face look wider.
- Finish with hair oil if the ends are frizzy or sticking out.
Recommended for: When you want a natural, comfortable impression; people with straight bobbed hair; experienced professionals
3 Key Tips for Bob Hair in Job Application Photos
- Root volume is essential β Flat hair makes your face look big and tired.
- 6:4 part β It's best to avoid a 5:5 center part in ID photos.
- Tidy up around your ears β Stray hairs or sticking-out hairs detract from the overall look.
