Bobs, bobs everywhere, but no one ever stops to wonder what the difference between all the various bob styles is! What is an inverted bob, anyway? What sets it apart from a classic A-line bob, for instance? The main difference lies in the actual technique used for achieving this style. If you’re wondering how an inverted bob is cut, know that it’s all about stacked layers at the back, and slightly curved lines extending towards the front. You can even let your frontal strands reach the shoulder length, for an ultra-dramatic statement. Here are some awesome ideas on inverted bobs, which will be inspiring if you’re after a low-maintenance, yet modern haircut.

#3: Steeply Angled Feathered Bob

The steep angles of this long inverted bob are unmistakably dramatic. The elongated pieces graze the collarbone, while the rounded back is cropped straight across the nape in sharp contrast to the front. The side part allows the bangs to be combed over, adding even more edgy flair.
