Talk to your stylist about

Ask to see where the line falls when your head is level.

Living with the look

A clean perimeter is more visible on straight hair and softens as it grows.

A helpful reality check

A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.

What defines Blunt bob?

A blunt bob has a defined perimeter with little visible graduation at the ends. This reference puts that line at about jaw height.

What to look for from the front, side and back

Compare the line where it meets the jaw. Check from the side for a change from front to back, then look at the back for how much of the nape is covered.

What to confirm with your stylist

Point out how solid you want the lower edge and decide where it should sit when dry. Show whether you tuck one or both sides behind your ears.
