What would I look like with a bob?

The honest answer is "it depends on your face", which is exactly why you should see it on your face rather than on a model. respecced puts a bob, a long bob or curtain bangs on your own photo in about 12 seconds, so you can decide with your eyes instead of guessing.

Why nobody can answer this for you

A bob is the cut people agonise over longest, because it is short enough to be a commitment and common enough that everybody has an opinion. The advice you get is almost always about face shapes, in categories nobody can confidently place themselves in.

Looking at it on your own face skips the whole argument. You are not deciding whether bobs suit oval faces; you are looking at a bob on you.

Try the three lengths together

A chin-length bob, a long bob and curtain bangs are three genuinely different decisions, and the difference between them is much clearer side by side than one at a time a week apart.

Run all three on the same photograph and slide between before and after on each. Ten minutes, and the thing you were going to spend a fortnight deciding is decided.

What the photo shows and what it does not

It works from the angle you were photographed at, so a straight-on selfie shows how the cut frames your face and tells you nothing about the back. That is usually the part you care about.

Your face, expression and the photograph itself are untouched. Only the hair changes, which is what makes the comparison worth anything.
