About the Flared Tousled Bob for Women
Who it suits
This cut is ideal for heart and oval face shapes because the flared volume balances a narrower chin and adds width where needed. It works best for those with natural wavy or curly textures and medium density, as the heavy layering requires some natural bounce to achieve the ruffled, airy effect. It is perfect for individuals who want a high-volume, edgy look but are comfortable with daily styling to maintain the flared silhouette.
How to ask for it
Request a chin-length bob with heavy internal layering and point-cut ends to create a ruffled, piecey texture throughout the shape. Ask for eyebrow-skimming bangs that are shattered rather than blunt, and ensure the perimeter is cut to encourage a flared shape rather than a flat or stacked look. Specify that you want the layers to promote curls curving inward at the jawline while maintaining significant volume through the mid-lengths.
Upkeep & styling
Expect to visit the salon every six to eight weeks to keep the flared shape from becoming weighed down and losing its airy texture. Daily styling involves using a sea salt spray or lightweight curl cream and diffusing with a hair dryer to encourage the springy, tousled finish.
Flared Tousled Bob — frequently asked questions
How do I keep the ends from looking flat?
Use a lightweight volumizing mousse on damp hair and use a diffuser to lift the layers, ensuring you scrunch the ends upward to maintain the flared, airy profile.
Will this work on very straight hair?
While possible, straight hair will require significant heat styling with a small barrel iron or wand to create the inward-curving curls and ruffled texture essential to this silhouette.
Does this cut require a lot of product?
To achieve the piecey, tousled look without adding weight, you will need a combination of a light-hold texture spray and a small amount of matte pomade to define individual curls.
