Textured Bob vs. Layered Bob: Learn the Difference and Discover Carlo Carlesi's Secrets

Have you ever been in a situation where a client wanted a fresh cut but showed you an inspirational photo of a structured bob with waves? We understand your challenges. To help you with client consultations, we interviewed expert hairdresser Carlo Carlesi, who analyzed the differences between two trendy cuts and shared his valuable cutting tips for achieving both!

Textured Bob:

• Thinner, more refined silhouette.

• Less need for at-home maintenance.

• Generally uniform in length with light texture for a touch of movement.

Layered Bob:

• Ideal for clients with naturally wavy or curly hair.

• Requires greater technical skill.

• Also perfect for clients with finer hair, as it creates volume without compromising density.

Textured Bob Cutting Technique: Carlo uses his KAMIKAZE shears for textured cuts. This tool allows him to create movement and remove weight in a single pass. He uses the texturizing shears by gliding them through the hair along the perimeter of the cut, creating a subtle, uniform gradation.

Layered Bob Cutting Technique: Carlo recommends using X SERIES 5.5" shears for their absolute precision on both dry and wet hair. After creating the layers throughout the head, Carlo intervenes to remove excess corners, ensuring an even weight distribution.
