A bob (or clean cut) is a simple hairstyle suitable for women of all ages. It is easy to cut and edit. With a bob, you can create fringes, scales, angles, waves and do backbends. While this style is mostly used on short straight hair, women with long or curly hair can always try it as styling is very easy. You can create a bob cut at home with a pair of scissors, bobby pins, and a mirror. If you are a DIY haircut pro, you can cut someone's bob hair using a basic style (even without bangs) or with the front part slightly longer than the back.
Steps
Step 1. Moisten your hair and divide it into seven sections:
left part, right part, upper part, upper left part, upper right part, left part of the nape and right part of the nape. Leave some strands free.
-
Use clips to secure each section so you can do them one at a time.

Step 3. Move towards the nape of the neck and cut that section of hair to the length you want

Start by cutting a section of about 2.5cm and use that as the length you will use for the rest of the hair. Cut small sections at a time.

Step 4. Take one strand of hair at a time and cut from bottom to top, the same length as the strand below
Don't be impatient and continue calmly and accurately.
Step 5. Dry your hair and check if it is even
To make small corrections, use scissors on dry hair. Use an iron to make them curly or a straightener to make them straight or to turn the tips in or out.
Step 6. Remove the bobby pins from the nape of the neck to create a clean cut
Advice
- For better results and a more even cut, hold the scissors blade horizontally.
- The first time you decide to use this cut, go to a hairdresser and then trim them at home. There are many variations of the basic helmet, and a hairdresser can give you advice on the one that best suits you, your face and type of hair.
