How to use this section
Use the jaw, neck, and shoulders as the comparison points. Bobs create a stronger compact outline, while lobs preserve more styling range and are often easier to tie back.
Want more movement
Compare layered bobs, shaggy lobs, and curtain-bang shapes.
Choosing for fine hair
Look for visible fullness through the ends before adding heavy layering.
