For more than 100 years, the short bob haircut has been popular for its charm and femininity. Celebrities with this hairstyle often pose in photographs in magazines and appear on the red carpet. In addition, it is perfect for everyday style.

Who is the bob haircut suitable for?

A short bob (a photo of a haircut can often be seen in all magazines and beauty salons) catches the eye and creates an interesting image. A professional hairdresser will help you choose the right type of this haircut. But do not forget that, like any haircut, a "bob" may not fit certain parameters of the face.

Experts advise girls with the following features to choose her:

Nice neck. Short haircuts accentuate this part of the body and make it look sleeker.
High forehead. A haircut helps to hide this flaw.
Skin without blemishes. All attention will be focused on the face, which is completely inappropriate for the owners of problem skin.
Gray image. The asymmetrical "bob" gives the owner a strong character and attracts admiring glances.
Wrong traits. The right solution would be bangs with asymmetry.

A short bob looks attractive on women and girls of any age. A haircut refreshes the look, gives it a mischief, and also makes the face very photogenic.

How to choose a short bob to fit your face

A professional master in a beauty salon, before starting to work with hair, must first assess its structure, the shape of the client's face, and also take into account all his wishes, then the haircut will turn out to be magnificent and easy to care for.

Specialist recommendations for face shape:

Oblong shape. Experts recommend choosing the length of the strands in front to the chin, and the bangs will gracefully hide the high forehead. Then the lips will visually become fuller and more expressive. Overly shortened or elongated versions of the bob will lengthen the face.
Rounded. The length of the strands on the face is just below the level of the chin, which will optically reduce its width and slightly lengthen it. The inverted bob looks especially good. The strands are slightly shorter in the back than in the front. In order not to enlarge the face, it is not recommended to give the hairstyle a voluminous look.
Angular. An asymmetrical "bob" will soften the features and contours of the face.
Oval. Any experiments with variations of the bob haircut.

Depending on the structure of the hair

A haircut in any of its performance does not tolerate damaged strands. This means that the owners of this feminine hairstyle should pay increased attention to the condition of their curls and use caring masks and conditioners to shine their hair, and for split ends, it is imperative to use special oils.

According to the hair structure, it is better to choose:

Not thick, straight or thin	"Bob" with clear contours, which will make the hairstyle thicker and more voluminous. Layered hairstyles will add splendor and lightness.
Straight, thick	The dynamics of the image will be given by a "bob" in layers or made by graduation, which will remove unnecessary volume from the ends.
Wavy	For a short "bob" this hair structure is far from ideal, but for a long one it is well suited, especially if it is made with a "ladder", and a minimum volume is created at the ends.

Classic bob haircut

A short bob (a photo of a haircut with a step-by-step implementation will help clarify difficult points) is best left to an experienced hairdresser.

Haircut technique:

Make a vertical parting from the center of the forehead to the center of the neck.
Focusing on the upper corner of the auricle, select the lower occipital subzone with a parting in the form of a triangle, the apex of which lies at a point on the central parting line, from which 2 diagonal lines are drawn to the sides, drawing an equilateral triangle.
Starting from the left, separate the first thin strand of hair, parallel to the diagonal separation, with an indent of 1-2 cm from the edge.
Cut the selected (control) strand at an angle of 45 degrees.
Separate the 2nd strand with a parting with an indent of 1 cm.
Connect both strands together and cut, focusing on the control.
"Strand by strand", moving up, cut off the rest of the strands.
At the level of the occipital bone, the direction changes to horizontal. The rise of the strands in the center should be higher, and closer to the ear, you should lower your fingers below.
On the right side of the head, repeat all the same steps, but change the position of the fingers. They should now point upward from the bottom outline.
When creating the first strand, the balance is checked for a flawless haircut. You need to take a few strands from one side and the other and bring them to the center, checking the length.
For the upper-occipital and temporoparietal ones, you need to move higher, maintaining the abduction angle.

Go to the other side of your head.
Distribute the hair of the frontal-parietal region in the direction of growth using a comb with wide teeth.
