An inverted bob for thin hair has blended layers in the back that create an illusion of fullness and volume. Chic and easy to style—it makes a nice wash-and-go type of cut, especially on straighter strands.
According to Evan, a stylist from Boise, ID, when it comes to inverted bobs, “Texturizing in your haircut makes all the difference in the world. With this, your hair wouldn’t look heavy in graduation and too blunt in the edges.”
Evan recommends layers to camouflage the finer pieces. If the top is thin, opt for more layers to help give the hair added volume and lift.
No matter how easy it is to style a bob, it still requires extra time to get ready each morning.
“A short-length cut benefits ladies who have hair that blow dries in minutes. All that’s required is a spray wax or texture spray to give it a textured finish,” he explains.
A short inverted bob hair cut must be freshened up every 4-6 weeks to keep it in shape. If you plan on vising the salon only a few times a year, it may not be for you.
