Micro Bob
A compact bob cut well above the jawline — a bolder, shorter cousin of the classic bob with real graphic impact.
ShortStraight · WavyHigh daily effort
Texture fit
Best on straight and wavy hair, where the short, precise line holds its shape most cleanly.
Daily effort and upkeep
High upkeep — at this length, growth shows fast, so plan a trim every 4–6 weeks, with 5–10 minutes of daily styling to keep the line sharp.
One real trade-off
This is one of the least reversible cuts in the catalog — once it's this short, there's no tying it back or pinning it up while you wait to grow it out.
