Whether you’re young or old or have a thin or thick hair type, one thing most of us have in common is we want hair that’s beautiful. That’s all. And that’s where the latest hair trend comes in. Stacked inverted bob cuts are long towards the front and have stacked layers at the back. It’s ideal for boosting volume while getting rid of extra bulk.
To help you decide which bob to go for, stylist Carissa Blanchard from Virginia shares some pro tips.
“My number one rule is to commit to returning to the salon every 6-8 weeks for a trim,” says Blanchard. “The stacked inverted bob haircut is very high-maintenance, and it can get very heavy in the front if you let it grow out too long.”
To determine if your current cut can turn into a long or short stacked bob, consider the length of your hair in the front. “If your haircut is short in the front and long in the back, I would grow the front out first,” explains Blanchard. “I’ll make sure it at least touches the shoulders for a strong angle of the bob cut,” she adds.
When it comes to styling, Blanchard chooses the R+Co Continental Glossing Wax. “It’s great for giving a sleek look or adding texture and movement when the hair is dry.”

The straight red stacked inverted bob is a trendy haircut. This haircut has a stacked back for volume and movement. The cut’s inverted shape adds a sleek, modern touch. Straight hair texture brings out the cut’s clean lines and sharp angles. It’s ideal for those who want a chic and polished style. Ask for a vibrant red color to add personality.

#4: Very Dark Stacked Bob
Go for a classic style with a very dark stacked bob. If your hair is thick, having weight removed at the nape and crown will help remove heaviness. It will also make styling easier. The A-line shape adds length around your face and will give the illusion of a slimmer appearance.

I suggest trying this golden blonde style with inversion stacking. It’s trendy and ideal for someone wanting a new look. The back layers add volume and make the hair move well. The inversion technique gives a neat, polished look. This haircut suits women with medium to thick hair. It enhances natural texture and adds body to the hair. The golden blonde color makes the hair look warm and vibrant like it has been kissed by the sun. To style this cut, apply volumizing mousse to damp hair for lift. Dry with a round brush for shape and smooth feel.

A classic ladies’ style like a sleek vanilla blonde inverted bob cut has been around for a long time. I recommend this style for ladies with a round face, as the long fringe gives the illusion of a longer face. This also suits those with finer hair, as it will sit well. If your hair is thicker, you can remove weight by thinning it or having an undercut to make the bob sit a lot sleeker. If you can, I would run the straighteners through it to smooth it out and wear your hair more confidently.

A neck-length stacked bob is a classic cut that women love. The shorter length at the back and longer in the front gives this cut and edgy vibe. Round brush your blonde hair for some beautiful volume!

An auburn inverted stacked bob cut is a sophisticated choice. A stack is beautiful in and of itself, but when auburn is added to the mixture, this combination will turn heads. A low stack hugs the nape nicely without needing too many layers. Add some coppery highlights to the auburn base color for a gorgeous dimensional red that matches the edginess of an inverted, stacked bob.

This stacked inverted bob with an undercut at the nape is super feminine. It’s light and textured but also high in volume and multidimensional-looking.

#24: Graduated Textured Bob for Thick Hair
Does your dense hair need to lessen its weight and length? This is a good thing because this is the ideal textured bob for women with thick hair. Adding layers to inverted stacked bobs will boost your locks’ volume and shape. Flaunt a dimensional beige blonde to complement your fair or pale skin tone.
#25: Jaw-Length Choppy Style
You can keep a sleek and stylish bob with textured ends to balance it! If this is the exact cut you’re looking for, consider the choppy style. If you have smooth hair, adding a dark chocolate tone and pops of balayage highlights would blend beautifully on this inverted bob. This jaw-length stacked hairstyle is great if you still want some hair to play with and aren’t ready to cut your hair short yet. This stacked haircut is great for women who want a style that’s easy to do. Because the hair is so short at the back, you only need to worry about styling the front and top sections!
I recommend this cut to women with a round face shape because it will remove the bulk of the hair off your neck, making your face appear slimmer. This cut also looks great on an oval face shape, too. This cut is great for fine to normal hair with thin to medium thicknesses. If the hair is too coarse or thick, the cut could appear bulky/ heavy, making it harder to style.
#26: Stacked for Curly Hair
This is a stunning example of an inverted graduated bob for curly hair. It was kept modern by slightly squaring off the front line. The graduation in the back adds lift and volume to the waves, creating a beautiful shape.
Most people think natural curls can just be scrunched and air-dried. To create a modern or updated style for stacked inverted bobs, use creams or lotions like Oribe’s Curl Control Silkening Cream, Curls by Definition, or Kerastase Oleo Curl Cream to bring out and enhance the natural curl pattern.
Fingerstyle by creating twists around the face and diffusing using the Y.S. Park Silver Titanium Diffuser. As with any cut with a length above the shoulders, proper maintenance to reshape should occur every 4-6 weeks.
