Side-Swept Bob

About the Side-Swept Bob

Cut & Silhouette: Description: Medium-length blunt bob/lob cut with soft, outward-curled ends and a deep side part, creating a rounded silhouette. Key Details: The perimeter is one-length, falling to the collarbone. Subtle, long layers provide movement and prevent a heavy appearance. Ear coverage: partially covers the top half of the ears, exposing the lobe. Sideburns: blend into the longer front sections, reaching to just above the tragus. Nape/neckline: Not visible. Length: Overall: Approx. 10.5–11.5 in (27–29 cm) from crown to ends, reaching collarbone. Front: Longer on the side with the deeper part, sweeping past the chin, about 8–9 in (20.5–23 cm) from root to end. Sides: Approx. 7.5–8.5 in (19–21.5 cm) from temple to end, reaching the collarbone. Back/Nape: Not visible. Fringe: No distinct fringe; the long front section is swept to the side, acting as a side-swept fringe, with the longest point reaching past the chin. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: The front section is swept to one side, forming a soft, face-framing shape without a distinct fringe. Parting: Deep side part, approx. 2.5 in (6.5 cm) from the center on the left side (viewer's perspective). Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Wavy (Type 2A–2B), styled into more defined, loose waves. Styled Finish: Soft, polished waves with a satin finish and moderate shine. The ends are lightly curled outward. Styling tool: curling iron or round brush with blow-dry. Hold level 2/5 (light hairspray or styling cream). Volume & Density: Description: Medium volume overall, with a natural lift at the crown from the side part. Volume is evenly distributed through mid-lengths and ends. Thickness: Medium to thick; appears dense. Color: Base Color: Medium brown, neutral-warm tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Balayage with lighter blonde (warm tone) starting from the mid-lengths (approx. 4–5 in / 10–13 cm from roots) and gradually becoming lighter towards the ends. The transition is soft, with darker roots blending into the lighter mid-lengths and ends.
