Tips For a Bad Ass Razor Bob
Here’s some steps — more like tips for a bad ass razor bob.
1:: Eliminate disruptions in the nape. Cowlicks in the nape could easily push back on your line or pop out underneath, leaving things messy. Taking down these cowlicks before starting your first section makes for a freshly fresh start and set you on your way. Techniques for this vary but the flat of the razor is the perfect tool for the job
2:: DON’T DO A DUMPY BOB. By that I mean a bob that sags in the back is whack. Make sure you follow the curve of the neck on your first section to set the shape of your line.
3:: Lighten up; the hairline behind the ear is a great place to remove weight. For both form and function. It’s really helpful for that chic tucked behind the ear look and it tackles the heaviest part of the line to create a nice flow in movement.
4:: Drop it like it’s hot. Keeping a razor bob from looking too layered can be a challenge. One way to assure success is to drop each section just a tad. This helps to best show off the texture created by the razor as well.
5:: For a cleaner finish to your bob reframe from taking weight out as you move to the top round of the head. Alternatively if you want that real razor layer Bad Bob look then what you do on those last sections is on display but keep it clean.
6:: Bonus tip! If any of this doesn’t make sense — take a class. There’s no comparison to real life hands on instruction. No TikTok IG social media video can teach the fine nuances of razor cutting.
