How to Pull Off a Stacked Bob

While it's important to be realistic about your expectations when getting a haircut, it can be helpful to bring along multiple photos to the salon. This gives your stylist a visual reference that will help them to give you what you want. Multiple angles, from the side, front, and back can also help so that you don't end up walking out of your appointment unsatisfied.

Haircuts will also lie differently depending on your hair texture. If you have very fine and straight hair, for instance, a style will look completely different on you than it would on someone with thick curly hair.

For those with thin and straight hair, a stacked bob can add layers and volume to your hair that will make it seem full and bouncy. On someone with curly hair, you will need to find a stylist who has experience with curly hair.

You will probably also need different layers so that the haircut still looks flattering. If you are unsure how to style your new cut so that it works with your hair texture, ask your stylist for tips while you're at the salon.

If you're looking for a bold and editorial look, blunt bangs can be a great addition to your stacked bob. They will draw attention to your eyes, too, so if you want to bring out your peepers, this is a style to consider. This is also great for those with really thick hair who want to thin out the back part of their hairstyle.

All bangs look good with this hairstyle! Side-swept bangs are great for a softer look that isn't so harsh. It can be more feminine and forgiving on different face shapes than blunt bangs can be. You can even pin your bangs back with bobby pins or a clip if you would rather go for the "no bangs" look for a day, so there's plenty of versatility with this style.

The stacked bob already adds tons of dimension since it's a naturally layered cut. But by adding highlight, you can take this dimension to another level.

Highlights will help to make your hair look more natural and can flatter your hair color and your face. Talk to your stylist about what shades you'd like to consider, and where you want your highlights placed.

You can get subtle highlights around your face to open your face up, or highlights all around your head to emphasize your layers and give you a sun-kissed look.

This is for someone daring who wants an edgy cut that'll stand out. It's also perfect for summer since it will give you some relief on your neck!

A stacked bob that is extremely short in the back can have a shaved undercut to revel the bottom of your hair. This is not for someone who isn't bold, but can be a great statement haircut that no one will forget.

Even if your hair is naturally straight, you can add some soft beachy waves for a new look. It may also make your hair look slightly shorter, so people will wonder if you got a fresh new haircut. Add soft waves around your head, focusing on the parts around your face and the top of your head. This will add volume while flattering your face at the same time.

No matter your natural texture, straightening your bob can give you an intense and fashionable style. By keeping it straight all around, you can really admire the work of your stylist. You can also add products to your hair that will give it an editorial shine that demands attention when you walk in the room.

This look is perfect for a date, since the curls add a feminine and romantic touch to your hairstyle. Whether you use a curling iron or leave curlers in your hair overnight, this look can be effortless and still flattering. For a natural look, use your fingers to gently tease the curls apart so that you don't look like Shirley Temple.
