After you have prepared and divided the hair to cut a bob haircut, it is time to get the scissors. But before you do that, it is wise to discuss with your client what kind of bob haircut she wants. The classic angled bob? The voluminous layering bob? These common hairstyles can be quite tricky.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Cutting an angled bob

1. Prepare your hair. Take a moment to read about how to divide the hair for a bob hairstyle. The right preparation gives the best results.
2. Divide the hair into four sections, which are parted neatly and straight. Your vertical part should be right in the center of your client's head and your horizontal part should be about an inch above the hairline.
   • Both sides of the lower horizontal section should be evenly spaced and fixed to the side.
3. Hold the hair at a 45 degree angle from the nape or cut along the neck at a 45 degree angle. You can find the angle of 45 degrees by dividing the right angle of the horizontal and vertical part in two.
4. Start cutting. If you are right-handed, comb the left section to the side and start with the right half of your first section. Follow the angle of your section and keep your hand close to the scalp.
   • Left-handed persons should follow these guidelines in reverse order, starting with the left portion, working from the outside in.
5. Follow the direction of your hand closely. You want to cut a straight line from the outside in. Use the straight side of your hand to cut at the correct angle.
6. Cut the left side of your first section. Do this in the same way as described for cutting the right side. Make sure to cut at the same angle on both sides.
7. Take a new part with her in the same corner. Make your next divorce about 1 to 2.5 centimeters above the first dividing line. Make sure to cut methodically. Consistency is essential to even out your hairstyle.
8. Repeat this until you reach the point where the crown and the back of the head intersect. Imagine there is an imaginary line running from ear to ear across the center of the head. Separate the back part by combing it behind the ears. This will nicely merge the back and sides together.

Method 2 of 2: Cut a layered bob

1. Wash the hair and divide it into the standard four sections. If you are unsure about preparing for this hairstyle, read up.
2. Continue to cut small sections at a 90 degree angle until you have covered the back of the head. You should cut until you reach the imaginary line across the center of the head from ear to ear. If there are no more hair sections in the back to cut, continue with the front sections.

Tips

• Make sure the hairstyle you cut matches the bone structure of your client's face. Failure to do this may make her face appear wider or even narrower. It is not a very difficult hairstyle to cut, but it can sometimes go wrong.
