If you’re considering your first bob hairstyle, the razor-cut bob is a great place to start. Unlike its blunter counterparts, this cut is all about texture and movement. “The razor-cut bob is something people are coming into the salon and asking for. It has a thinner look at the ends due to the use of a razor instead of scissors, so it breaks up and moves easier; it’s less solid,” explains Paul Percival, hairstylist and founder of Percy & Reed. This lightness at the ends gives the bob an effortlessly undone feel, making it perfect for those who want a low-maintenance yet stylish cut.

What’s great about the razor-cut bob is that it’s universally flattering and versatile, meaning it can be tailored to suit almost any face shape and styled to different lengths. Whether you want a chin-grazing bob or a longer, shoulder-skimming version, the razor-cut technique gives the hair has a softer, feathered finish, which makes it easier to style day today.

In terms of styling, the razor-cut bob is refreshingly simple. Its textured ends mean you can let your hair air dry for a natural, tousled look or add some styling products for more definition. “Sprinkle a bit of water on your hands before applying Percy & Reed Finishing Cream, then pull through dry hair for a rock ’n’ roll look,” suggests Percival. This low-maintenance styling routine makes it perfect for anyone with a busy lifestyle – or those who simply want a chic cut that doesn’t require hours of styling every morning.
