What defines Curly bob?
A curly bob is a short outline shaped around the spring and distribution of curls. Its apparent length is set by where the dry curls rest.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Compare the width at the cheeks and at the jaw from the front. Turn to the profile to see which curls sit forward, then use the back to check the rounded edge.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show your stylist your usual dry curl pattern and point to where you want the shortest pieces to sit. Discuss how much fullness to keep above the neckline.
