There are several ways to create layered bobs. There are shorter and longer options. Whatever hair or face type you have, you can easily find the right layered bob to make you look fantastic.

What is Layered Bob?

A layered bob refers to a haircut that is somewhere in between ear-length and shoulder-length and consists of multiple layers overall. That means that some parts of the hairstyle are shorter than other parts in order to achieve a textured look.

How to Cut Bob with Layers

Step 1: Wash and dampen your hair and work on wet hair from there.

Step 2: Section your hair out into as many horizontal sections as the number of layers that you want and use hair clips to hold the sections in place.

Step 3: Start from the lowest section that will determine the length of the whole hairstyle.

Step 4: Release the second layer and cut it evenly a little bit above the first layer.

Step 5: Repeat the process on the remaining layers.

Step 6: Thin your hair out a little bit in order for everything to fall into place.

Step 7: Blow dry your hair and style it either with a styling brush or with a curling iron. We recommend straightening it first, though, because that way you can see if there are any strands that you missed.
