About the Layered Sweep Bob for Women
Who it suits
Suited to fine to medium hair, straight or with a slight wave, that wants shape and a face frame. The internal layers add body and the side fringe softens round and square faces and conceals a high forehead. Good for those who like a styled but manageable medium length.
How to ask for it
Ask for a shoulder-grazing bob with soft internal layers for movement, plus a side-swept fringe cut to blend into the front lengths, longest at the cheekbone. Keep the fringe long enough to sweep to one side. Round-brush the ends with a slight bend and feather the fringe across the brow.
Upkeep & styling
Trim every six to eight weeks and dust the fringe between cuts as it grows into the eyes. Round-brush the body and sweep the fringe to one side with a little cream. A light styling product keeps the fringe in place.
Layered Sweep Bob — frequently asked questions
Will a side fringe suit my forehead?
A side-swept fringe is forgiving: it covers a high or wide forehead and softens the face without the commitment of a blunt fringe. It blends into the front lengths as it grows.
How often do I trim the fringe?
The body of the bob needs a trim every six to eight weeks, but the fringe grows faster, so dust or reshape it every three to four weeks to keep it out of your eyes.
Do the layers add volume?
Yes. The internal layers lift fine to medium hair and give the bob body and movement, so it doesn't sit flat. They're blended to keep the perimeter looking full.
Is the fringe hard to style?
Not really. A quick round-brush sweeps it to one side, and a little cream holds it. It's lower effort than a blunt fringe, which needs daily blow-drying flat.
