This twisted half-up style perfectly mixes elements of messiness and polish for a look that's stylish yet relaxed. It's a great way to switch things up with a shorter bob, and it works especially nicely with a wavy, piecey texture.

Double Braided Space Buns
Double braided space buns are a fun and fresh take on the whole space buns trend. The braids add in a little extra texture and complexity, making the look even more eye catching. Plus, you really don't need much length to pull it off -- chin length strands will totally do the trick.
