This cut is ideal for oval, heart, and square face shapes, as the shoulder-grazing length effectively softens the jawline and balances the facial proportions. It works best on medium-to-thick hair densities that possess a natural slight wave or have the capacity to hold a heat-styled bend for several hours. Those with fine hair will also benefit from the blunt perimeter, which creates the physical illusion of significantly more volume and thickness at the ends.
Request a collarbone-length long bob with blunt, crisp ends and no heavy graduation to maintain a modern, blocky silhouette. Ask for internal ghost layers to remove excess weight without creating visible shelf-like steps, allowing the hair to move more freely into beachy waves. Emphasize that the cut should be designed for a centered or slightly off-center part and finished with a textured, lived-in feel rather than a polished blowout.
Maintain the structural integrity of the shape with a trim every 8 to 10 weeks to prevent the blunt ends from fraying or losing their sharp edge. Daily styling usually involves a salt spray or texturizing mousse applied to damp hair, followed by a wide-barrel wand to define the undulations.
Yes, straight hair can achieve this look by using a one-and-a-quarter inch curling wand to create loose bends, leaving the ends straight for that signature breezy finish.
The blunt perimeter helps the hair hang heavy, which can reduce some frizz, but you will need a lightweight anti-humidity spray to keep the waves from expanding too much.
This is a low-to-medium effort style; while the cut itself is simple, the wavy texture requires a few minutes of styling with product or heat to prevent it from looking flat.
