What's the difference between a regular bob and an inverted bob?

The primary difference between a regular bob and an inverted bob lies in the gradient of the hair length and the presence of stacked layers.

A Regular Bob typically maintains a consistent length across the entire perimeter of the cut, creating a uniform silhouette. Although variations exist, such as the graduated bob, which has a gradual increase in length from the nape to the front, a regular bob does not have a dramatic change in length from the back to the front.

An Inverted Bob, on the other hand, features a more pronounced gradient, with the back of the hair being shorter and gradually increasing in length towards the front. This creates an A-line shape, where the hair is longer in the front and shorter in the back, forming a capital A shape when viewed from the side. Inverted bobs often include stacked layers, which are tapered and layered to create a more defined and textured look.

In summary:

• Regular Bob: Uniform length across the entire perimeter, with minimal or no gradient.
• Inverted Bob: A-line shape with a shorter back and longer front, often featuring stacked layers for a more defined look.

These styles can be further customized with bangs, textures, and lengths to suit individual preferences and face shapes.
