Shaggy Bob
Choppy layers · undone
Take a bob, then layer it heavily with choppy, point-cut ends and you get the shaggy bob. Nothing about it is meant to look precise — the layers create mess with a plan, and it styles best with texture spray and your fingers rather than a brush.
Who it suits
Wavy hair is the sweet spot — the layers turn natural bend into piecey texture. The side volume balances long or narrow faces, and choppy edges soften a square jaw. On round faces it can add width where you don't want it, and very fine straight hair may just look thinned out.
This cut is forgiving; every 8-10 weeks keeps the layers alive. Scrunch in salt spray or mousse, air-dry, done.
Shaggy Bob — common questions
Will a shaggy bob work on straight hair?
It can, but it needs help — a wand bend or braid-set wave gives the layers something to do. On completely straight, fine hair the choppiness can read stringy, so ask for more conservative layering.
Is a shaggy bob high maintenance?
It's one of the lowest-effort cuts around. The grown-out stage looks intentional, and daily styling is a scrunch of texture spray. The only real commitment is keeping some texture in the hair.
