Step-by-Step Guide
Before we begin, it’s important to have the right tools. You’ll need a sharp pair of scissors, hair clips, a comb, and a spray bottle filled with water.
Step 1: Start by sectioning the hair into four parts – the crown, the sides, and the back. Clip each section in place.
Step 2: Begin at the nape of the neck and take a horizontal section of hair. Hold the hair between your index and middle fingers and cut at a slight angle towards the face. Repeat this step on each section until you reach the crown of the head.
Step 3: Release the crown section of hair and comb it straight down. Cut the hair at a 45-degree angle towards the face to create layers.
Step 4: Release the side sections of hair and comb them straight down. Cut the hair at a 45-degree angle towards the face to create layers. Repeat this step on the other side.
Step 5: Take a small section of hair from the front and cut it at a steep angle towards the back to create the inverted effect. Repeat this step on each side until you achieve the desired length.
Step 6: Check for any uneven sections and make any necessary adjustments.
Step 7: Style the hair using a flat iron or curling iron to create volume and texture.
Step 8: Finish with a hairspray to hold the style in place.
Congratulations, you’ve just created a beautiful inverted bob!
