Bob Wigs — 100% Human Hair

A bob wig is a short wig cut at or above the jawline, and it arrives already shaped. That is the whole appeal. A bob is a precision cut — the line is the look — and cutting one badly is expensive to undo, so buying it pre-cut takes the risk out of the shape you want. Every bob wig on this page is 100% human hair, which means it flat-irons, curls, washes and holds its line the way hair does, not the way fiber does.

Lengths run 10 to 14 inches. Caps run four ways: a 13x4 transparent lace front you can part anywhere across the front, a 4x4 transparent lace closure for a simpler install, a glueless 5x5 HD lace closure that goes on with no adhesive at all, and a no-lace cap with bangs you throw on straight out of the box. Colors run natural black, #613 blonde, cherry red, ginger, cotton candy pink, and pro-colored raw hair in golden blonde, honey blonde and toffee brown. $76 to $311. Free shipping on every order.

Bob wig questions

What does bob wig mean?

A bob wig is a wig cut into a bob — a short, blunt or layered shape that ends between the ear and the collarbone, usually right at the jaw. The word describes the haircut, not the cap. You can get a bob on a lace front, a closure, a glueless HD lace unit or a plain machine-made cap. What makes it a bob is the length and the line, not the construction.

How much does a bob wig cost?

On this page, $76 to $311. The no-lace bang bob is the cheapest, because there is no lace to hand-tie. A 13x4 transparent lace front bob runs $115 to $161 in natural black and $155 to $190 in #613 blonde. The pre-colored 13x4 units are $148. The pro-colored raw hair bobs on glueless 5x5 HD lace are $283 to $311. Human hair costs more than synthetic up front and less over a year, because you wash, heat-style and re-color it instead of replacing it.

What is the best bob wig for a beginner?

The 4x4 closure bob or the no-lace bang bob. Both have less lace to tint, melt or cut, which is where most first installs go wrong. The bang bob has no lace at all — it goes on with combs and adjustable straps in under a minute. Move up to the 13x4 lace front when you want to part it anywhere across the front, and to a glueless 5x5 HD unit when you want lace realism without adhesive.

Is a bob wig the same as bone straight?

No. "Bob" is the cut; "bone straight" is the texture. A bob wig can be bone straight, wavy or curly, and there are all three on this page. A bone straight bob is the sharp, glass-finish look most people picture. The curly and wavy bobs trade some of that sharpness for volume, and they hide an imperfect blend more easily.

What length is a bob wig?

10 to 14 inches here. A 10-inch bob sits at the chin, 12 inches sits at the jaw and just past it, and 14 inches falls near the collarbone — what most people call a long bob. Wig length is measured straight, so a curly bob wears shorter than its stated length once the curl pattern pulls up.

Are human hair bob wigs better than synthetic?

For a bob, more than for any other length. A bob lives or dies on the line of the cut, and only human hair takes a flat iron hot enough to keep that line sharp week after week. Synthetic fiber melts, so the shape you buy is the shape you keep, and it dulls after a handful of washes. The honest trade-off: human hair costs more and you have to style it, because it does not hold a set on its own.

Can you color a human hair bob wig?

The natural black units, yes — the hair is unprocessed and lifts to a honey blonde with a professional. The #613 blonde and the pre-colored units are already lightened, so they will tone but not lift, and they are more porous than virgin black hair: color-safe sulfate-free products and moderate heat. The raw hair bobs are hand-colored by a licensed stylist, so treat them like salon-colored hair and do not re-lighten them.

Which cap should you choose?

No lace, with bangs — fastest and cheapest, no parting space, nothing to melt. 4x4 transparent lace closure — a middle or side part in a four-inch square, easy first install. 13x4 transparent lace front — part anywhere ear to ear, the most versatile and the most work. Glueless 5x5 HD lace — the thinnest lace and no adhesive, the most natural hairline and the most fragile. If a bob is not what you are after, compare human hair wigs, ready to wear wigs, headband wigs, u part wigs and full lace wigs.

How do you keep a bob wig from looking like a wig?

Three things, in order of impact. Bump the ends under or flick them out so the blunt line reads as a styled cut rather than a factory edge. Tint the lace to your skin tone before the first wear and cut it right at the hairline, not past it. And pluck the part line lightly if the density looks too even — 150% density is full by design, and a bob carries all of that weight in a short space.
