The French bob:
Here’s a quick cheat sheet for perfecting the French bob:
- Length: A French bob typically sits at the jaw or shorter. The sweet spot sits slightly shorter than a traditional bob but longer than a bixie.
- Blunt Cut: Known for its precise and blunt perimeter, the clean and sharp line adds a sense of structure to the hairstyle.
- Minimal Layering: To add movement but maintain the strong shape, layering is limited to slight graduation and soft slide cutting.
