An angled bob lives or dies on the one-inch drop from nape to front, and it holds best on 1A to 2B hair you can roll under with a round brush. These angled bob haircuts run from jaw to collarbone, blunt or layered, and need a trim every five to ten weeks before the line blurs.
1. Classic Angled Bob at the Jaw
The classic angled bob is the first of the angled bob haircuts I show, with the nape an inch shorter than the front and the front landing at the jaw. I cut the nape on dry hair, then angle the line forward to the jaw with the shears flat. It suits fine to thick density and 1A to 2A texture on round and square faces. Blow-dry with a round brush rolling the front under. Trim every six weeks.
2. Long Angled Bob Haircuts at the Collarbone
Long angled bob haircuts drop the front to the collarbone while the back sits at the shoulder, so the angle reads over two inches. I cut the back at the shoulder on dry hair, angle the front down to the collarbone, then point cut the ends. It suits fine to thick density and 1A to 2A texture on round, square, and oval faces. Blow-dry smooth with a round brush and finish with serum. Trim every eight weeks.
3. Angled Bob With Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs on an angled bob soften the diagonal with a second line from the brow to the cheekbone.

It suits fine to medium density and 1B to 2B texture on round and square faces. Blow-dry the bangs out with a small round brush. Trim the bangs every five weeks.
4. Angled Bob for Fine Hair
An angled bob on fine hair stays blunt along the angle so the line reads thick.

It suits fine density and 1A to 2A texture on oval and round faces. Apply a mousse to damp roots and blow-dry with a round brush. Trim every six weeks.
5. Stacked Angled Bob
A stacked angled bob builds graduation at the nape so the back lifts while the front drops to the jaw. I cut the nape short with graduation on dry hair, build the weight line at the occipital, then angle the front down. It suits fine to thick density and 1A to 2A texture on round and square faces. Blow-dry with a round brush rolling the front under and lifting the stack. Trim every five weeks.
6. Long Angled Bob Haircuts With Layers
Long angled bob haircuts with layers keep the collarbone angle and add layers from the chin so the front moves. I cut the back at the shoulder on dry hair, angle the front to the collarbone, then point cut layers from the chin. It suits fine to medium density and 1A to 2B texture on most face shapes. Blow-dry with a round brush rolling the ends under and finish with a light cream. Trim every eight weeks.
7. Angled Bob for Thick Hair
An angled bob on thick hair takes internal layers so the angle sits flat instead of flaring.

An angled bob lives or dies on the one-inch drop from nape to front, and it holds best on 1A to 2B hair you can roll under with a round brush, so the line stays crisp past day three. Angled bob haircuts work best when the back is stacked tight. A round brush does the lifting. oval face haircuts follow the same rule: shape the interior first, then let the perimeter do the talking.
