Inverted Bob hairstyle

The inverted bob hairstyle has been around for decades. Actress Louise Brooks had a small dark helmet and writer Dorothy Parker had to keep her hair simple so that she could redefine feminism.

The designer Mary Quant and spurred a rounded look to complement the playful, Since then, we’ve seen this look textured, colored, highlighted, and razor cut. The basic shape is the same for our retro blunt cut as well as her more modern piecey sisters.

Longer in the front, tapering shorter at the nape of the neck, it’s a flattering style for gals who want to wear a short cut, but still need that little bit of hair to frame their face by keeping it chin length or longer in front.

An A-line bob can also be with some of the current hot bangs and fringe, be it side swept or teeny and blunt cut.

A more retro inverted bob look is achieved by rounded, head-hugging layers that are undercut, which is just what it sounds like: cutting the layers underneath shorter than the ones closer to the crown.

This shorter in back style will also show off a long graceful neck, or lengthen a short neck.

Some of the more modern layered styles don’t have much of a slope to them, and are razor cut into more dramatic angles, highlighted with color. It’s a very youthful and sassy look, with a lot of movement for a girl with her eye on fashion.
