Stacked Bob
Graduated layers stack into a rounded pad of volume at the back of the head, above a short tapered nape.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the style lands on your photo instead.
The back is cut with the hair held out from the head so each layer sits on the one below, building a wedge that pushes the crown up and pulls the neckline in tight. The front is left longer, which throws the whole shape forward. All that volume is cut in rather than styled in, so a rough dry upside down is usually enough. The tapered nape is the part that grows out first.
- Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. Crown height pushes the whole silhouette taller while the tight nape takes width off the neck, which lengthens a round or square face.
- Hair typefine, medium density, thick, straight. Stacking needs hair that stays where it is cut, so straight fine to medium hair holds the wedge best while curl fills the back out unpredictably.
- UpkeepFive to six weeks, since a grown-out stack collapses into a mullet shape, and the daily work is a rough dry and nothing else.
