How would you describe this look?

The most important part of this layered inverted bob haircut lies in its layers. Ideally, it’s styling should be large but very natural.

The honey-caramel balayage showcases the overall style of the layers. This haircut is most suitable for a round or oval-shaped face with a base of smooth flowy hair. In order for the hair to endure such a level of layering, it has to be somehow thick.

Any advice for someone considering it?

A client considering this haircut would share a classy and trendy lifestyle and is not shy to show off her beauty and enjoy the attention.

How would you describe this look?

This layers on an inverted bob with blonde pops against the dark and how much it makes the long angled front stand out.

Any advice for someone considering it?

I would say pretty much anyone can wear this cut. You just have to make sure you can take the time to style as needed. As with any short hair, there is little maintenance. For the color, I did a balayage through the top and sides and applied a base close to her natural. I toned with shades Eq.

As for products, I recommend a good heat protector, mousse or styling foam, a texturizing finishing spray, and a lightweight finishing paste. For her look, I used Redken’s Extreme Play Safe, Stay High 18 and dried using a round brush, then curled her hair with Hot Tools 1″ Marcel then finished with Redken’s Wind Blown 05 and Mess Around 10.

Short Layers with Fringe

@bladesalon

This short layered inverted bob with fringe is perfect for mature, classy women. Layered bobs with fringe not only add movement but also show off the accentuating color even better. Though highlights require low upkeep, sulfate-free products are still vital to avoid fading.

How would you describe this look?

This inverted layered bob was inspired by fashion icon Edie Sedwick. It’s an inverted bob, going from short to long, using diagonal finger angles and a cut-throat straight razor. My favorite thing about the haircut is that it can be styled in many ways! It can be blown out smooth or styled with styling creams to emphasize texture and volume.

The color techniques used were a shadow rooted base color and teasy-light highlights. These two techniques add more dimension to the look and really bump up the effect of the texture!

Any advice for someone considering it?

I love that this is a great haircut for all face shapes and can be done on all hair types. One could use smoothing products for one desired result or volumizing products for another. Either way, pomades and styling creams are great for control and texture whether the look is displayed smooth or voluminous!

In summation, this hairstyle is great for on-the-go styling drying naturally or for the client who likes to put a little more effort into styling her hair. It’s an all-around versatile look!

How would you describe this look?

Since the inverted bob with layering had its breakthrough in the ’60s, it has been tweaked and played with to suit the wearer and is one of my personal favorites.

I love that the graduation is very flattering for the head shape. It is stylish and feminine and can suit anyone.

This lady has a nice heart-shaped face, and her hair falls like it was made for this style.

I wanted to create a natural and low maintenance color using a highlighting technique with an ashy toner.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This style can suit anyone! It is so versatile, and texturizing is key.

If you are looking to get this style of haircut, take into consideration your face shape, hair type, and growth patterns.

For example, a rounder face shape looks best if the hair around the face is well below the chin. It shouldn’t have too much volume on the sides but rather sleek to elongate the face. A deep side-swept or curtain bangs is flattering! This would enhance the cheekbones and narrow the chin. Longer face shape? Do quite the opposite with shorter sides and lots of volume. If you want bangs, you could go shorter, as a baby bang could give an amazing edge to this style.

If you have thinner hair, use a thickening cream or mousse and/or volumizing root spray. Curly hair needs lots of moisture, so use a curling cream or curling spray and scrunch away!

For this style, I did a blow out to create body. She had a deep side parting, so I curled the hair away from the face on the heavy side using a wand. This simple trick creates a glamorous look, framing the face very nicely.

Medium Inverted Bob with Layers

@alisonallvess

Offering a shape that’s on point, this gorgeous medium-layered inverted bob is a classy style for any woman. The layers in a medium inverted bob remove bulkiness to prevent your locks from looking hefty. Furthermore, a natural-looking brunette shade is an excellent color to flatter women with fair skin.

This is a very soft sandy brown inverted bob with layers. Ask your stylist to gently graduate the back and add soft texturized layers around the crown and facial framing to blend her long side-swept fringe.

This style is great for all hair types and most face shapes. If you have a longer face shape, don’t go so dramatic with the angle and keep the front length above the collar bone.

Styling is a must! This look is not for wash-and-wear, as it requires more effort. If you want that sleek finish and perfect looking hairline, you need a smoothing cream mids to ends and a volumizing spray at the root on damp hair. After blow-drying, use a heat protectant and a flat iron to really smooth out. Use Davine’s Love smoothing cream and Davines Volu hair mist on damp hair and Melu heat protectant hair mist on dry hair right before your flat iron. This look’s upkeep is around every 6-8 weeks for cut and color.

Layered Choppy Inverted Bob for Fine Hair

Hair Stylist @ 5One7 in Whitby, ON

How would you describe this look?

This inverted bob with layers is a drastic change but with a modern touch since we completely changed her color with a rich dark brown along with taking off 6 inches to achieve a simple yet classic angled bob. With her layers cascading towards her face, it keeps her fullness on the sides but still allows her hair to have volume and texture. The whole experience with having the privilege and trust of my client to do this was the most rewarding part!

Any advice for someone considering it?

To women considering layered inverted bobs, my advice would be to have fun with it. It’s a lower maintenance look, but it’s versatile to each client’s needs. Whether you want to keep it classy and chic or bold and dramatic, you and your stylist will be able to determine what’s best suited for you and your face shape.

This cut looks great with all hair textures and mainly thin to medium density hair. If a client is wanting this look with thick hair, I would recommend doing an undercut, so it would lay flatter to the head shape.
