What it is
Cut on a forward angle, this bob sits short and stacked at the back and lengthens as it travels toward the jaw, finishing well past the chin at the front. The interior is graduated so the back holds a rounded weight line, and the nape underneath is tapered close so the shape sits up rather than collapsing. A deep side part throws most of the length across the top, and the ends are cut blunt to keep the line solid.
Who it suits
For straight or pressed hair with enough density to hold a hard line. The forward angle draws length toward the jaw, which suits rounder or square face shapes. A good option if you want a precise, geometric cut maintained by a barber's line work rather than layered salon shaping, and it wears well with minimal daily styling.
How to ask for it
Ask for an angled bob, chin length at the front, graduating shorter into a stacked back, with the nape tapered close underneath by clipper over comb. Request a deep side part, blunt ends, and no visible layering through the top so the weight line stays clean.
Upkeep
Trim every four to five weeks to hold the angle. Blow dry with a round brush turning the ends under, and use a heat protectant. Silk pillowcase keeps the line smooth overnight.
