“The Japanese bob is also a chin-length bob that really hugs the curvature of the face,” says Currier. “This bob is usually parted in the middle and has gorgeous sweeping layers that flick away from the face with blunt ends.” The name comes from the country of origin and inspiration. In Japanese hair salons, this is just a short bob. For styling a Japanese bob, Currier recommends using a hair straightener and “beveling” sections, essentially curving the hair under. For the pieces around the face? “You’re going to want to direct the [straightener] forward in the opposite direction and sweep backwards towards the ear to give a curved, sweeping look to the fringe,” she explains.
