Blunt chin-length bob with an even, continuous edge
The defining feature is an even perimeter at the chin. Without short crown layers interrupting the surface, the eye follows one clean line around the bottom of the bob.
Your salon brief
Show the photo.
Then talk it through.
I want an even chin-level line with no short crown layers. Please show me how the perimeter would sit when my hair is dry and how much internal adjustment you would need for my density.
- Where would the back meet my neck at this length?
- Would the front stay long enough for my usual ear tuck?
- How would my natural texture interrupt or bend the lower line?

What defines it
The shape
Point to the chin landmark rather than simply asking for a short bob. In this generated reference, the ends form a continuous boundary instead of the separated tips seen in the shaggy bob.
The outline is the main event here, with no pictured fringe requirement. The French bob adds wispy bangs and a softer bend, while the Italian bob emphasizes retained weight and rounded fullness at the sides.
Your hair, your routine
Before you book
- Perimeter density
- Ask to compare the amount of weight your hair carries at the bottom before agreeing to any internal thinning.
- Front sections
- Decide how the pieces beside your chin should fall; a fringe would be an additional choice beyond this outline.
- Length changes
- The chin landmark will shift toward the jaw and neck as your hair grows. Choose whether you want to maintain it precisely.
- Daily checking
- Consider whether you are comfortable arranging the whole lower line after sleep, especially the back you cannot see directly.
Day to day
Styling and products
Optional. The haircut itself is a salon service.
Wear the bob with your usual part and let it settle before checking the ends. Compare both sides at the chin with your head level; an ear tuck can make one side appear shorter without changing the cut.
An optional detangling brush is the sole listed tool role. Use it according to its directions and your stylist's advice for your texture, starting gently at the ends; it does not supply the even perimeter that must be established during the haircut.

Wet Brush Original Detangler, Pink Frost
What to check
Similar cushioned detangling brush in Pink Frost, with an oval head rather than the broad illustrated paddle. Choose for gentle section-by-section detangling; it is not a heated styling tool or automatically suitable for every wig fiber. Follow the brush and hairpiece directions. Some review feedback concerns durability.

Questions
Does a blunt bob mean no layers at all?
This reference shows no short crown layers, but the visible outline cannot reveal every internal cutting decision. Tell your stylist that preserving a solid lower line is your priority.
Can a chin-length bob be tucked behind the ears?
That depends on your chosen front length and where your ears sit. Ask your stylist to demonstrate the intended tuck before settling the final perimeter.
