Hair Care : How To Cut Hair In The Bob Style

Hi, I'm Daniel Rob, hair stylist from Los Angeles, California, and today, I'm going to show you how to cut hair in a bob style. The way I'm going to cut my bob today is all one length with a nice blunt edge, so starting with a wet head of hair, I'm going to show you how to section the hair and start the cutting. What you want to do is start at the top and you're going to take the hair up in probably three or more sections, and you want these sections to be as even as possible. Then I'm taking these front sections and I'm just going to twist them out of my way. They can also be clipped out of the way and then I'm going to take another section comb that twist it and clip it out of the way - and this is where I'll start back in the nape area. Now there are all levels and lengths of bobs that you can cut I'm gon na cut a longer bob, because my model doesn't want her hair super short, but the idea is to give a nice blunt clean edge to the hair. So this point I'm gon na have my model drop her chin down, and this is a very important step because the hair naturally will kick under once the head is put upright if you start with the head forward. So this point I just comb the hair straight down and trim off the amount that I want to create that nice blunt bob line once again, a bob can be anywhere from just below your neck. Up to your chin, the idea of a bob is really the blunt line and you can see I'm holding the hair taut between my fingers so that I have control over the line. Now sometimes little hairs can get missed. So you want to make sure that you comb the hair down once you've cut it. You want to comb the hair down again, just to make sure that any of those underneath hairs get cut. Then I take another section and you want to make sure that you take clean parted sections when cutting a bob you'll get a a more even line at the bottom. I'M gon na have her tilt her head up and I'm gon na comb her hair out, and you can see where I'm going with this cut. You can see how the edges blunt, how it's gon na lift away from the head so that she will get a turn under effect. So I finished my haircut and now I'm gon na blow my models, hair, dry and we'll get to see the finished Bob. So I've rough, dried, the models hair, so most of the wetness is out. My next step is to start from the back of her head and work around the head using a round brush to turn the ends under. Since I did do a blunt bob with an undercut because her head was down during the entire cut, I should get a beautiful turn under and it should lay awesome. So here's our amazing result i'm daniel rob and thank you for watching my video on how to cut hair in a bob style.
