30 Short Hairstyles That Flatter Brown Hair Beautifully

To chop or not to chop? This is the critical question that motivates hours of Pinterest perusing (and probably triggers cold sweats in the process). Add to that all the calculus involved in choosing a style—face shape, hair color, natural texture—and it's no wonder some of us never move beyond the inspiration stage.

But what if we told you there's a cut that's so endlessly adaptable it can work for basically everyone? It's time you meet the many iterations of the bob. This short style (and its even shorter sibling, the crop) might just be the perfect cut for brunettes, since it lifts weight from your locks, while bringing enough drama to complement dark hair. Whether you commit to that fierce collarbone-grazing look you've been eyeing for months or finally accent your signature bob with those perfectly wispy bangs, a short brunette cut can deliver exactly the oomph you're after. Find all the inspiration you need in these 30 can't-fail cuts.
