Why it works, texture and upkeep
Why it can work
Internal layering lightens up a bob's weight without losing the recognizable shape, which makes it easier to style and less prone to looking helmet-like.
Texture fit
One of the more flexible bobs — it works across straight, wavy, and curly hair thanks to the layering doing the shaping work.
Daily effort and upkeep
Medium upkeep — a layer refresh every 6–10 weeks keeps the internal shape from growing shaggy, with 5–10 minutes of daily styling.
