About the Sleek Bob
Cut & Silhouette: Description: A short, heavily layered cut with significant volume at the crown and a long, side-swept fringe, creating a rounded, voluminous silhouette that tapers short at the nape. Key Details: Layering is prominent throughout the top and sides, providing body and movement. The top is significantly longer than the tapered sides and nape, creating a soft, high-contrast effect. Ear coverage: partial (top half covered). Sideburns: short, blending, reaching to the top of the tragus. Nape/neckline: tapered, curving inward and very short. Length: Overall: Top length approximately 4.5-5.5 in (11.5-14 cm) from crown to ends. Front: Longest section of fringe reaches past the chin, approximately 6.5-7 in (16.5-18 cm) from the roots. Sides: Layers at the temples are approximately 2-3 in (5-7.5 cm), covering the top half of the ear. Back/Nape: Short, tapered, shortest point about 1-1.5 in (2.5-4 cm) at the base of the neck. Fringe: Long, side-swept fringe, about 4.5-5 in (11.5-13 cm) at its shortest point (across forehead) to 6.5-7 in (16.5-18 cm) at its longest (swept past chin). Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: Long, layered fringe, swept deeply to one side, blending into the side and creating face-framing layers. Parting: Deep side part, approximately 3.5 in (9 cm) from the center, running towards the crown. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Straight (Type 1B), with a tendency for slight natural bend. Styled Finish: Voluminous and airy with a smooth, soft finish; hints of movement and body. Styling tool: blowout with a round brush for lift and curve. Hold level 2/5 (light volumizing spray/mousse). Volume & Density: Description: High volume concentrated at the crown and top, creating a rounded shape, transitioning to lower volume and a closer-cut appearance on the sides and nape. Thickness: Thick; dense coverage throughout, especially at the crown. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral-cool tone, appearing almost black. Multi-tonal Effects: Uniform color; no highlights or artificial multi-tonal effects visible.
