What defines Asymmetrical bob?
An asymmetrical bob has different visible lengths on the two sides of the face. This reference makes the longer side part of the main perimeter.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Compare both ends against the jaw in the front view. Use the profile and back to see whether the difference continues through the nape.
What to confirm with your stylist
Choose the longer side deliberately and show where each side should end. Confirm whether you want the contrast visible after tucking one side.
