5. Subtle A-Line Bob
The A-line bob is a classic for a reason: it is structured, sharp, and incredibly slimming. For medium length, the A-line should hit just at the collarbone in the front and be slightly shorter at the nape of the neck. This gradual slope creates a beautiful, elegant line that elongates the neck and highlights the jaw. It is a very professional cut that looks great on almost everyone, providing a sense of order and style that is easy to manage while still having enough length to experiment with various updos.
How to Make
The precision of the A-line depends on the angle of the cut. Have your stylist cut the back at the nape, then gradually lengthen the hair as they move toward the front. Ensure the back is layered slightly to keep it from looking too boxy. To style, use a flat brush to pull the hair toward your chin while blow-drying, which encourages the natural “tuck” of the A-line shape. Use a light styling cream to keep the ends smooth and ensure the line of the bob remains sharp and defined.
