Sleek Asymmetric Bob With Shaved Under Panel

What it is
A glass-smooth bob cut with a strong forward angle, so the front sits well below the chin and the back rises to a short point behind the ear. The whole under-side panel from the parting down to the nape is shaved short, and a razor-cut part sits high on the head to divide the shaved section from the swept-over length. The ends are cut blunt and pressed flat, with no visible layering.
Who it suits
Best on straight or pressed hair that will hold a mirror-flat finish and a hard blunt edge. If your hair is thick, the shaved panel removes real weight and lets the bob sit close instead of pushing out. Worth considering if you want a look that can be worn covered or fully open depending on the parting.
How to ask for it
Ask for a forward-angled blunt bob, longest at the chin and rising sharply toward the back. Then a shaved panel from the parting down, 0.5 guard, blended slightly at the perimeter. Ask for the part carved with a trimmer, set high above the temple, and the ends cut blunt with shears.
Upkeep
Five weeks on the bob shape, but the shaved panel wants a re-run every two weeks. Heat protect, flat-iron in small sections, and finish with a shine drop rather than an oil.
