Q1: What is the main difference between a boyfriend bob and a classic French bob?
A1: A classic French bob typically hits near the cheekbones with rounded, beveled ends and a full brow-grazing fringe. A boyfriend bob is longer (hitting near the jaw or mid-neck), features blunt, square ends with zero inward curling, and is usually styled flat with an androgynous, unstyled finish.
Q2: How often do you need salon trims to maintain a blunt mini bob?
A2: A blunt mini bob requires maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks. Because the cut sits above the jawline, even half an inch of new growth significantly shifts the balance of the line against your neck and jaw.
Q3: Can thick, wavy hair support a blunt short cut without puffing out?
A3: Yes, provided the stylist uses internal debulking techniques rather than exterior thinning shears. Skilled cutters remove excess bulk from the interior mid-lengths while keeping the outer layer solid, allowing the blunt perimeter to lie flat without creating an unwanted triangular shape.
