How to Style Angled Bob Cut with Layers
Angled bob is, basically, a type of haircut that is shorter in the back and gradually transitions to a longer length in the front. If you want to cut angled bob on your own, it’s crucial to get salon-quality scissors which have sharper blades that allow you to cut hair without damaging it.
You also need a handheld mirror (optional) and a fine-toothed comb. Keep your hair damp and pull it into a ponytail on top of your head. Measure how long you want your angled bob to be and mark with a clip or bobble. Then, cut right there. That’s the longest layer.
Now all you need to do is to segment hair into three sections (two toward the front and one in the back). Twist these sections in another ponytail and cut right across. You’ll get a layered look that you can style in many ways.
You can keep your angled bob with layers sleek and elegant, or you can mess it up a little bit for a casual look. Bandanas, headpieces, sunglasses, ribbons, and many other accessories can help you style your bob according to your outfit, occasion, and other factors.

Angled and graduated bob terms are often used interchangeably, but they’re not exactly the same hairstyle. You see, angled bob is a type of bob and a forward haircut that is short in the back and gradually transitions to a longer length in the front which gives this style an angled appearance.
The most interesting thing about the angled bob is that its aesthetics varies and it changes over the years, but one thing is certain – the defining factor is a variation in length and a clearly visible angle at which shorter length transitions to longer.
