How can feathered layers work with a bob?

Byrne explains: “It’s the feathered layers that bring out individual personality in a bob. A good hair cutter will know where to take the layers and how much to feather according to your features. Always invest in a good haircut, as this should last you between three and five months. It’s also very important to take good care of your hair between salon appointments. I recommend always finishing with an oil for added shine and to keep ends hydrated.”

How will a feathered bob look on different hair textures?

“The feathered bob works on all hair textures,” says Byrne, “as long as it is cut well. I recommend booking a consultation with your stylist before to explain exactly what you want from this cut. Your stylist will then be able to advise you, depending on your hair type and texture. I actually use feathering in all my haircutting to personalise the cut with an undone but precise finish to ensure the hairstyle fits each of my clients.”

What to tell your stylist if you want to get the look

Byrne says: “First of all, you need to find the right stylist for you. Research their work beforehand to ensure they are the right fit for the style you want. Make sure you tell your stylist you would like a feathering technique, because using thinning scissors will not get you the same results – they will make your hair look drier and wirier. I also recommend asking for colour to enhance the texture of this style.”
