Compare the edge, part and length of a bob

A bob is defined as much by its outline as by its length. Begin with a blunt, rounded or French bob, then compare the part and fringe. Longer lobs and a loc bob appear as related references so you can see the difference without treating every bob-shaped style as the same cut.

What to compare

  1. Pick a visible lower edge

    A straight, blunt perimeter reads differently from ends that curve inward or a softer textured outline. Compare the lower edge against the same jaw and neck area. Describe the intended endpoint instead of only asking for a short bob.

  2. Separate the fringe decision

    A French bob with a short fringe and a center-part bob expose the forehead differently. Keep length and color steady while changing the fringe. If you mainly want to test bangs, use the bangs tool before changing the entire outline.

  3. Use longer and textured references honestly

    A collarbone lob keeps more length than the short bobs here. A loc bob changes the strand structure as well as the silhouette. Use those related examples for comparison, and discuss the actual technique and maintenance with your stylist.

Compare one detail at a time

Use the same photo for both options. Each successful try-on uses 1 credit; if all results fail, the credit is returned. AI may change other details, so check both results.

Questions before you try

What is the difference between a bob and a lob?

A lob is a longer bob, commonly extending toward the shoulders or collarbone. Our longer examples are marked as related so you can compare extra length without mistaking them for the short bob options.

Can I preview a bob without changing my bangs?

Use a text description that states the bob length and asks to keep your current fringe. Templates may include a different fringe or color, and AI can still change details beyond the request.

Does the preview show how thick my bob will look?

It illustrates a possible outline and volume, not a measurement of your hair density. Your texture, existing layers and styling affect the real result. Bring the saved reference and those details to your appointment.
