Cut Hair Into An Uneven Wispy Bob

Sport a stylish wispy bob haircut for a new look.


Update your look this season with a sophisticated but playful wispy bob haircut. Like the classic bob haircut, this style is worn above the shoulders and typically involves very straight-cut ends. The wispy bob hairstyle is also worn above the shoulders, but the ends of the hair vary in length, creating both movement and texture. To cut this hairstyle yourself, you just need a few tools.


Instructions


1. Spread the newspaper on the floor to catch the falling hairs. Place your chair on top of the newspaper and set up the mirror in front of you or the person whose hair you're cutting.


2. Spray hair with the water mister so it's damp. It's easiest to cut slightly wet hair.


3. Divide the hair into seven sections: the left side, top, right side, left crown, right crown, left nape of the neck and right nape of the neck. Leave about half an inch of hair down around the perimeter of your head. Use this hair to determine how long you would like your wispy bob to be. Comb the front of this hair straight down and cut it straight across with your scissors. Do not hold the hair taught, but rather let it hang between your fingers while you cut. Cut the rest of the hair the same length.


4. Continue to comb and cut the rest of your hair to match the length of your first section. To make sure the back sections match the front sections, comb them straight up into the air and hold them with your fingers. They should be the same height. Cut every section but the crown of the head.


5. Part the hair down the middle, when you reach the crown sections. Cut these sections as you cut the others, making sure they are the same length as the other sections. Once you've finished cutting, you've completed cutting your bob.


6. Start about 3 or 4 inches away from the ends of your hair, and drag your razor toward the ends. Cut inward slightly so the razor cuts diagonally from your starting point. This creates a subtle layering effect that produces the wispy look. Be careful not to cut yourself, of course. Repeat this razor motion around the entire head. If you're cutting your own hair, use two mirrors when you do the back so you can see what you're doing. Once you complete this around the perimeter of your head, you will have removed a good amount of the bulk.


7. Twist the bangs around one of your fingers and cut into them on a strong diagonal line. You should cut almost straight into each strand, but angle your scissors slightly so they cut very steep diagonal shapes. This process will thin your bangs to match your hair. Cut until you see a feathered effect in the bangs. Remember, the bangs should stay the same length as they were before, but with some slight variety in the texture.
