“I’d love to try a short bob, but I’m worried it’ll feel heavy around my face or be hard to style in the morning.”
A short bob that shows the neckline can look airy with a little soft volume. For this look at Bonté, layers frame the face and blend into a rounded shape at the back.
What do layers around the face do?
Cutting the hair around the face at slightly different lengths softens a heavy, blunt edge. The layers fall gently around the cheeks and jaw, giving the cut a lighter, more defined shape.
For this look, the nape is trimmed short and the hair above it has a soft, rounded shape. From the side, the front layers blend into the fullness at the back.
Is this short bob right for you?
Think about what you’d like from a short bob. This look may suit you if you want:
- A neat, short cut that shows the neckline
- A lighter feel around the cheeks and jaw
- Soft volume with a subtle bend
What should you know before your appointment?
Where the volume sits depends on how thick and dense your hair is and how much it naturally curls. Tell your stylist if the sides tend to stick out or the hair at your nape grows to one side. Mention any previous bleaching or chemical straightening so your stylist can assess whether a perm suits your hair.
If you usually dry your hair without a styling iron, mention that too. You can decide together where to keep length and add fullness based on how you style your hair at home.
Find a short bob that fits your routine
Bring a photo you like and let your stylist know how much you’d like to show around the ears and nape. If you like a light shape around the face and soft volume at the back, ask Bonté about a short bob perm that fits your routine.
