The more you know💡 By far the most common question I get is “ what’s the difference between a textured bob and a layered bob” well here’s a visual. Both are great! (on the right person) Textured bobs have a more subtle shape and less maintenance at home. Layered bobs look amazing on the right hair type but require more styling unless you have some natural texture or wave. Hope this helps🙂 #hair #haircut #hairinspo #texturedbob #layeredbob #arcscissors #withvirtuelabs

Textured Bobs:

• More subtle shape
• Less at-home maintenance
• Almost entirely one length
• Just enough texture to add movement

Layered Bobs:

• Work best for clients with natural texture or wave
• Require a bit more styling
• Also great for clients with finer hair, allowing you to create volume without losing weight.

Subtle Graduation Vs. Square Layers

For his texturized cuts, Chris uses his 30/2 Reversible Blender from ARC™ Scissors to create movement AND remove weight in one step. How? By using the texturizing shear to slide cut through the hair with the straight blade on the bottom, creating subtle graduation throughout.

Want subtle graduation that’s quick but effective? Try slide cutting with a texturizing shear💡Higher in the back then less towards the front. You don’t want to wipe out your corner near the face☝🏼 DO NOT do this with beauty school scissors! These are the 30-2 from @arcscissors and they glide through the hair. Enter the section leading with the straight blade closing the shear on the way out! Whatcha think? #hairtutorial #hairvideo #arcscissors #hair #haircut #bobhaircut #architectsofhair

So what’s the key to Chris’s layered cuts? “I like to use my PARAGON II by ARC™ to cut square layers because they remove weight throughout the entire haircut. Once I have them throughout the head, I will go in and remove the corners to remove more weight.”
