Curly bob

A curly bob is shaped around shrinkage, volume and the way individual curl groups settle. Dry length and wet length can differ substantially, so the intended silhouette should be discussed in its finished state.

What changes visually

These are design effects to compare, not rules about who can wear this cut. Your preference matters more than a face-shape verdict.

  • A rounded outline builds balanced volume around the head.
  • More internal layers can release volume but reduce perimeter density.
  • A longer front preserves a more elongated line.

A better salon brief

Show your usual curl routine and shrinkage. Agree on dry length, perimeter shape and whether the stylist will cut dry, wet or with a combined method.

What the preview cannot know

An AI image cannot assess hair density, elasticity, previous chemical services, shrinkage or how a cut behaves after washing. Use it to communicate a direction. Ask a qualified stylist or barber to judge feasibility and adapt the reference to your hair.
