Layered Bobs FAQ's

What is a layered bob?

A layered bob is a short to medium-length haircut characterised by layers that are shorter at the nape of the neck and gradually increase in length towards the front. This layering technique adds dimension, texture, and movement to the hair, creating a look that is both modern and flattering. The layered bob can be customised to suit various face shapes and hair types, making it a highly versatile hairstyle.

Can a layered bob work with Curly Hair?

The short answer is, yes. However it will depend somewhat on your curly hair texture and how easygoing you are with maintenance. In theory, if you have naturally curly or wavy hair, a curly layered bob is effective if you want to showcase your hair’s texture. The layers help to define the curls, adding volume and movement to the style. This look is full of personality and there remains scope to style it to your choosing.

Styling Tip: Use a curl-enhancing cream or mousse to define your curls and reduce frizz. A diffuser attachment on your hairdryer can help dry the hair while maintaining the curl’s shape and bounce.

Would a layered bob work with hair colour?

Balayage or highlights can make a layered bob go ‘pop!’. The lighter pieces, particularly when styled can really modernise and in some cases look edgy. Talk to your hairdresser about the best colour options for your hair type and skin tone to maximise your layered bob.

Pros of getting a layered bob

As short haircuts go, it’s fairly adaptable. Oval face shapes tend to work with most haircuts, however with some tweaks, a layered bob can be tailored to almost any face shape and hair type.
If you have fine hair, this is one of, if not the best options as it can give the illusion of increased volume and movement. The layers create the illusion of fuller hair, making it appear thicker and more voluminous.
If styled correctly, it can add sophistication, elegance, edginess or even stylishness!

Cons of getting a layered bob

To maintain the shape, you’ll need to get regular haircut every couple of months.
If you need to put your hair up for work, social life, sport or similar, it’s not the most adaptable hairstyle in this respect.

Conclusion

This haircut is a winner if you have/want one of two things; fine hair or want something different (or both!). The layered bob if styled well on the right hair is highly adaptable, timeless and with small tweaks can create most visuals from modern to edgy or sophisticated.

If you’re ready to embrace the layered bob, book a consultation with your hairdresser to discuss the best approach for your hair type and face shape. With the right cut and styling techniques, your layered bob can be a flattering and fashionable choice that enhances your natural beauty.
