This guide focuses on inspiration photos for layered bob. Use it to prepare a specific salon conversation, then confirm the plan with the stylist who assesses your hair.
Choose photographs for a purpose
For layered bob, bring a small set of reference photos that share the feature you want. The amount of interior movement should support the outline you want. Point to the actual outline, placement or finish instead of assuming the salon will interpret the caption the same way.
Layers change how weight and movement are distributed within a bob.
Add a picture of your current hair
Include your current hair from the front and back in ordinary light. If you usually wear it tied back or air-dried, show that too. Ask: “How much movement can we add while keeping a full-looking perimeter?” Your current photo makes that question easier to answer than a tightly cropped inspiration image alone.
Show an example you do not want
An unwanted result can be just as useful when choosing layered bob. Explain why it feels too strong, too short, too dark or too difficult to maintain. A comparison with a blunt bob can reveal whether your goal is a different technique or simply a different version of the finish.
