The feeling

A closer look

This compact bob puts the emphasis on its perimeter. It can sit with a centre or side part and works best when the length is chosen with the neck and natural hair movement in mind. Very dense hair may need carefully placed internal shaping to prevent an overly solid edge.

These generated images are inspiration. A hairdresser can help adapt the shape to your density, growth patterns and preferred routine.

Styling notes

  • Apply a light heat protectant if you intend to blow-dry.
  • Dry with the airflow down the hair shaft, keeping the temperature low.
  • Guide the ends gently under with a brush, or let them settle naturally for a softer finish.

Everyday upkeep

  • Refresh the perimeter roughly every six to eight weeks if you prefer a precise chin-length line.
  • Discuss density with your stylist before adding internal layers or thinning.
