If you want the audience to quickly place the timeframe that a work takes place in, the easiest way is to sprinkle it with the aesthetic that the timeframe is famous for. In the case of The Roaring '20s, few things are as iconic as The Flapper, and all flappers (at least, according to Hollywood) have bobbed hair, whether the Irene Castle windswept kind, the Louise Brooks shingle kind, the Josephine Baker Eton crop kind, the Clara Bow Quirky Curls kind, or the femme, wavy Joan Crawford kind.
A character wearing such a hairstyle will more often than not also be The Flapper, although she could alternatively represent another type of socially progressive woman. Because this was a time frame where women were expected to be subservient to men and Stay in the Kitchen, defying Long Hair Is Feminine was a powerful visual statement that the woman in question didn't subscribe to the then-accepted notions of a "woman's place." One side effect of this is that after the sexual revolution, the hairstyle has also become associated with dominatrices because of its outward authoritativeness.
In Japan, a short bob (usually paired with a kimono) is a nostalgic shorthand for the Taisho and pre-war Showa eras, when this haircut was massively popular with young girls.
Bobbed hair continued to be a trend in the 1930s, although the sleek shingles and Eton crops were pushed aside in favour of more feminine styles such as pin curls and Marcel/finger waves, which then be replaced by updos and pageboy bobs by the end of the decade. One simple way to distinguish 1920s from 1930s hairstyles is that the former focused on sleek and masculine, the latter on wavy and feminine.
Compare its Sister Trope the Sci-Fi Bob Haircut.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries:
Phryne Fisher wears her hair in a sleek shingle bob, befitting the late-1920s setting of the series and Phryne's own status as The Flapper.
Dr. Elizabeth "Mac" McMillan has a wavy bob and is a notably progressive woman, a medical doctor who normally dresses in three-piece suits.

Problem Sleuth exists in a indistict time filled with an assortment of period cliches aimed largely at parodying the Film Noir genre. That Hysterical Dame and Nervous Broad both have flapper bobs (and jaunty hats) should come as no surprise.

Buck Rogers has femme fatale Ardala. Even the short-lived 1970's revival of the comic strip, which generally tried waaaaaay too hard to be contemporary, still let her keep her iconic haircut. The TV series did not, though.

Her rich friend Lottie has a bob too, though hers appears long enough to tie into an updo.

Lots of the characters wear this hair style. Not surprising since it's set in The Roaring Twenties.
Velma Kelly, a Vaudeville star, has beautiful raven black hair and she wears the slick version. The producers initially wanted Catherine Zeta-Jones to keep her usual long hair but she insisted on the bob so her hair wouldn't obscure her face while dancing and make people think she used a Talent Double.
Roxie Hart has a curly blond bob cut. When she becomes famous during her trial people start copying her hairstyle, including prison guard Mama Morton to Velma's dismay.

Thoroughly Modern Millie
Most women Millie sees in the street at the beginning of the film wear bob haircuts. It's one of the fashion things that Millie gets obsessed with.
Millie bobs her hair as part of her Makeover Montage. Other things she does include getting a new shorter dress and a cloche hat, and trying to invoke Petite Pride as her silhouette is not perfect for the year 1922.
Subverted with her friend Miss Dorothy who has cute curly hair. She's a very feminine girly girl character and not overly lively. Millie convinces her to bob her hair at one point; however, she then meets Millie's boss who falls in love with her and tells her that cutting such gorgeous hair would be a sin.

BioShock:
One of the Splicer models in Bio Shock 1, Baby Jane, has a pageboy haircut. That along with her outfit is an indication that she's a flapper.

In the film version of Nine (Musical), Judi Dench sports this haircut as the costume designer Lily. The film is set in the 60s, so Lily would have been the right age to be a flapper in her youth. It shows that she's a Cool Old Lady who Guido can rely on.

Sirens uses this trope in an odd way. The protagonist Estella wears her hair like this in contrast to the long hair of Norman Lindsey's models. As she's quite repressed, the haircut serves as an indicator that she wants to break out of that.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, episode "Rarity Takes Manehattan" has Coco Pommel, the Manehattan stylist. Justified in that she's a reference to Coco Chanel.

Doctor Who:
"The Unicorn and the Wasp": Robina Redmond, aka "The Unicorn" and Agatha Christie sport these. Donna, having changed into period-appropriate dress, instead puts her hair up.
"Mummy in the Orient Express": Clara averts the Changed My Jumper trope by dressing in The Flapper bob cut and a Gorgeous Period Dress. All this for a guy she's supposedly breaking up with. (This also crosses over with Sci-Fi Bob Haircut because she's on a replica of the '20s Orient Express built in the far future.)

In The Supersizers Eat... The Twenties, Sue Perkins, the host, gets a bob haircut during her makeover (she usually wears somewhat sloppy short hair). When she first sees herself in the mirror, she cries: "I look like an evil doll!" The truth is that twenties flapper look of "the young and beautiful elite" suits her perfectly, even though she's not a classic beauty.

Elizabeth in BioShock Infinite sports one of these later in the game. This is appropriate given the game takes place in 1912.

Blondie: Blondie, who was a flapper before marrying Dagwood, is known for her early 30s-style curly bob, which she still wears to this day.

In The Legend of Korra, the bob is featured on some female characters as part of the Far East meets The Roaring '20s setting. One of Tahno's Fangirls wears the style◊, while young Jinora combines it with a Prim and Proper Bun. Korra cuts her hair into a messy bob in the final season. Opal has a bob as well.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - in Willow's dream in "Restless", a play is being held. Buffy is dressed and coiffed like she's starring in Chicago, while Riley is dressed like a singing cowboy, and Harmony is dressed as an alpine milkmaid - all playing in Death of a Salesman.

In Charmed, the episode "Pardon My Past" had Phoebe returning to the Roaring Twenties to relive her past life as a witch who was tempted to use her powers for evil by a demon she fell in love with. In her past life, Prue was a popular photographer with a sleek bob. The other two sported another hit of the era — the finger curls.

Why Be Good? is a film from 1929 about a flapper, so the bob haircut is a must.

Downton Abbey:
In series 2, at the end of World War I, Lady Mary Crawley idly threatens to bob her hair. However, she is quite conservative and keeps her gorgeous raven hair long.
In series 3, Lady Sybil bobs her hair. She is the most progressive of the Crawley sisters. She is interested in politics, supports women having the vote, wears trousers, consorts with servants, trains as a nurse to volunteer in the war and marries a socialist Irish chauffeur.
Lady Rose wears a fashionable curly bob with headbands. She represents the new breed of "Bright Young Things", who delighted in shocking society with their antics. Rose carries out her most shocking antics in Series 4, she loses the radical haircut for a wavy, halfway-to-shoulder-length look halfway between a bob and a more traditional cut.
Lady Mary gets a racy new bob in series 5. Her very campy hairdresser kept flattering her and the new look in general through and through, but as soon as she is out, he shares his true sentiments.
Daisy the kitchen maid attempts to give herself a bob in the series finale. Emphasis on attempt. Luckily for her, the rest of the staff are able to fix it.
