Cutting Medium Bob Hairstyles at Home

Although a bob hairstyle may seem easy to cut, it is important to have some professional experience or training before attempting to create a hairstyle – or at least research the methods that are used in hair cutting before the hair is cut from the head.

Here are some tips that you can use to create a bob hairstyle.

First, determine the length of the bob. Are you going to create medium bob hairstyles, short or a longer style throughout the hair? Once this has been determined, it is important to make the initial cut longer than the intended length, just to be sure that the length is going to be suitable. It is always easier to make additional cuts through the hair, thinning and decreasing the length of the hair – but it is never as easy to try and find methods to replace the lengths of hair that have been cut from the head.

Be sure that the edges of the bob, through each side of the face are matching in length. Use your fingers to judge where the hair lies. Unless you are styling an angled bob, these should match exactly to ensure a professional appearance is obtained from the haircut that is being created.

Next, be sure that you are cutting the hair properly. When it comes to cutting layers, as well as creating a traditional haircut, most stylists prefer to wet the hair to gain better control. In the case that you have much experience cutting the hair, you can easily create a cut that is dry, but you must be able to have control and experience in the styling business in order to create these types of styles.

Once you have begun the haircut, begin from the bottom up while creating layers, as this can allow for an easy way to judge the length of the layers.
