Q&A for How to Cut a Bob

Use thinning shears on the end of your hair to add texture and remove volume. However, avoid using the thinning shears in the middle or near the top of your hair, as it can make it look frizzy.

Yes, there is such a thing as a long bob. It's often called a lob. There isn't a set measurement for a lob, but it typically falls between the jawline and just below the shoulders.

Yes, you can. However, if you have shorter layers, try to cut it to the length of the longest layer. This will allow the shorter layers, and even bangs, to catch up in length. Otherwise, it may be too short and drastic a cut.

The image is showing more of an A frame bob cut, which is longer in front than the back. It's your choice what you prefer for yourself.

It depends on how short your hair is. If it is a pixie, bows or hats are good. If it is a chin bob, headbands and the two previous are good options. Anything longer should be open to all of these.

First, cut a normal bob, but leave a short difference when cutting the side parts. Then, with the help of a protractor, measure 120 degrees. Then, cut diagonally. Add bangs if desired. You can look at Anna Wintour's bob for an example.

Try a round, asymmetrical bob. Start with your hair about shoulder length. Then, cut a ponytail that makes the length past your jawline. Next, cut in a diagonal circle, leaving the left part ear-length, while the right part is chin-length (or it can be the same as you cut it before).

You can either leave it (making an asymmetrical bob) or trim it up to the same length.

If your hair is fluffy, try to wash your hair and not dry it yet. Next, comb it with a wide comb and towel dry it the best you can. Then you should use a straightener on your hair.

Try pinning up the top back layer and either use thinning scissors on underneath hair to get rid of some bulk. Or, use normal scissors and hold small sections of under layers vertically from head and carefully snip downwards to thin out.
