Layered Bob
Soft layers · movement
Soft layers cut through the interior give this bob movement and lift while the perimeter stays intact, so it never loses its shape. The length sits between chin and jaw. It's lighter, rounder, and easier to blow-dry than a one-length bob.
Who it suits
A good choice for medium to thick hair that gets heavy or triangle-shaped as it grows. The lift at the crown flatters round faces, and the soft edges suit square jaws. On very fine hair, layering can thin the ends — keep it minimal and subtle.
Layers lose definition as they grow — book a reshape every 6-8 weeks. A quick rough-dry with a round-brush finish is usually enough.
Layered Bob — common questions
Is a layered bob better than a blunt bob for thick hair?
Usually, yes. Thick hair in a blunt bob can balloon into a triangle. Internal layers remove bulk and let the cut fall in a rounder, softer shape. Fine hair is the opposite case — it generally looks fuller cut blunt.
How do you style a layered bob at home?
Rough-dry to about 80 percent, then smooth the top sections over a round brush, curving the ends under. A pea-sized bit of light cream through mid-lengths and ends keeps the layers separated instead of fluffy.
