3 Things You Need to Know about the Layered Bob Hair Cut
The bob hairstyle has been transformed into dozens of variations that
a person may find it amazing that 10 people could look entirely
different to one another, but sport the same hair cut. One of these
popular variations of the traditional bob is the layered bob hair cut.
Giving bob layers give stylists plenty of options and can add volume,
movement or style to a typical bob. A layered bob hair cut can come in
short, medium length or long hair, but can work well in framing faces.
Below are three things you need to know about the layered bob:
1) Types Of Layered Bob Hairstyles – Just like other kinds of bob
cuts, a layered one can have several other variations. Although these
hairstyles are created differently, they are all low maintenance and
takes 30 minutes max to create. Here are some of them:
- Very short layered bob – Perfect for people with diamond,
square, triangular, oval and oblong shaped faces, very short layered
bobs can suit those with sparsely dense and thin textured hair. It
features angled layering and chipped ends and often come with
highlights and bangs.
- Short layered bob – This cut features wispy longer layers
that are razored to frame the face and highlight facial features,
while creating a softer effect. It is recommended for people with
diamond, round, oval, heart and square faces. It works well with
fine to course textures and thin to thick hair. Stylists often use
volumising mousse for fine to medium hair, while smoothing gel for
coarse hair.
- Long layered bob – This haircut works well on women with
strong bone structure. Since long hair usually falls limp, the long
layered bob frames the face vertically while giving the hair more
full, free and fluffy.
2) Spice Up A Bob With Color – When highlights and lowlights
are added to a bob, it can make or break a person’s new look. As such,
it is important not to overdo color. If done correctly, the color could
bring out the layers, create a unique definition and make the haircut a
versatile one that can be styled for every occasion. There are two
factors stylists use in picking hair color for a bob – your hair texture
and skin/eye color. The hair color technique used is often based on the
hair texture, while the skin/eye color is always considered. Generally,
the ideal hair color should have the same tone as your skin.
3) Styling Layered Bob Hair Cuts – So you’ve got the layered bob
done. For most people, a day after their hair cut was done is
disappointing experience because the style is now gone and their hair
look completely different from the “fresh-out-of-the-salon look.” Be
aware that just like any other bob styles, a layered bob haircut can be
easily styled. If you don’t have time to set or curl it with a hair
iron, you can simply wear the straight look by applying gel or
volumising mousse. For extra body, start at the roots and all around the
crown. You can also add texturising spray all over when you blowdry the
hair for more movement and a silky look. The secret to styling a bob is
choosing the right product.
A layered bob hair cut is very versatile because anyone can wear it
casually or style it for a more formal look. It can be washed, dried and
be ready within several minutes, making it a good option for people who
want to have a modern look, but prefer to have a low-maintenance hairdo.
