Alot of people misunderstand this. It’s like saying the term “guitar”. A guitar is a category of instrument but not a specific instrument because there’s electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, etc… it’s the same thing with “bobs”. It’s important to understand that a bob is not just a bob and that there are specific types of bobs that fundamentally exist and must learn such as:
-One Length Bob (pure line technique)
-Beveled Bob (Line w/ External Graduation)
-Classic Graduated Bob (Tri Ext Grad to Line)
-Lip Length Bob (Line to Rnd Ext Grad)
-Firefly Bob (Ext Grad To Rnd Ext Grad)
-Light Graduated Bob (Line w/ Int Grad)
-Classic Layered Bob (Line w/ Flat Layer)
-S**ggy Bob (Line w/ Flat & Concave Layers)

This is one of the biggest misunderstandings & misteachings I see all the time. It’s so important to understand that “density” and “weight” are two completely different things. “Weight” is the result of how we vertically distribute the hair when we cut it resulting in one of the three category of techniques meaning: Line = Max Weight, Graduation = Build Up of Weight, or Layers = Removal of Weight…. “Density” is the amount of hair somebody is born with. This is something that as a hairdresser you have to begin to understand that you cannot do anything about. People are born with what they’re born with. And guys the whole “thinning hair out” falls right into this category of bad teaching (that’s a subject for a whole other post.)… but just taking vertical sections and slicing through the hair IS NOT layering hair. All that is doing is removing “density”. So for example, let’s say there is a client with a one length bob. A one length Bob is a “line technique”, meaning Max Weight. If you go through and just start taking chunks out of the inside of that bob, when you’re done, you still have a one length bob that is still “max weight”. You just put a bunch of holes in it and made it less “dense”. (And yes, I know, there’s a lot of Instafamous stylist that do just that to dry hair, beach wave it with a curling iron and charge $500🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️) but we digress… The point is, a true understanding of how technique works and hair as a fabric will give you all the right answers when proper choices need to be made to achieve the result you are looking for. Knowledge is everything in our industry because remember, “When you don’t truly understand something, you will believe anything”…

There’s a reason why most hairdressers struggle with haircutting. Other than a few terms, true “foundation” & “basics” of haircutting is not something you’re ever really taught in cosmetology school. And we hear alot about “advanced cutting techniques” as if that’s something you learn once you’re “experienced”…Not True. There’s no “advanced cutting techniques” only untechnical fancy scissor slinging”. True advanced haircutting is not about how you cut hair with a tool. But rather, the intricacy of a design rooted on foundation techniques mixed together to create the geometry of the form you want…
