How to Cut Hair to Look Thicker
- 1). Determine the length of the bob haircut. For a fuller face, a longer bob is a more suitable choice. For a narrow face shape, a shorter, chin-length bob will look best.
- 2). Separate the hair into sections: right side, left side, right top of head, left top of head, left nape of neck and right nape of neck. Clip sections into place to hold.
- 3). Wet hair. Comb the top section of hair in front of the face and determine the length of the bob. You may choose to keep the front and sides of the bob longer, which is called an angled bob. Cut hair at the desired length.
- 4). Use a comb or ruler to determine the angle of the bob around the back of the head. Cut around the nape of the neck until you reach the front section that is already cut.
- 5). Unclip the hair one section at a time. Cut the remaining sections to match the hair already cut. Use the previous cut sections as guides, and cut from back to front, angling the front sections if desired.
- 6). Dry the hair. Use a flat iron to straighten and smooth if desired.
