Naturals 4a, 4b, 4ab: Experience with bob cuts?

[RegaLady]

I have decided to get my hair cut in a bob for the summer. I was wondering if any ladies here with natural hair in the 4s ever cut their hair in a bob (with no relaxer) and what their experience was like with maintaining the cut and it straightened on some occations. Any help would be great!

would not recommend too blunt of a bob (dempending on how short ur going) if ur gonna wear it curly unless you like the triangle wedge look....which isnt bad imo but its not a fav look of most naturals

So you mean ask for a layerd bob? Or a gradual layered bob?

 

[BillsBackerz67]

yes an angled bob with gradual layers (not blunt choppy ones) would probably look best. How long is your hair now?

My hair is APL, but the length does not look very flattering on me. So I would like it shaped up.

By the way, the braidout in your siggy is almost the look I am going for on a carefree day. I think your hair was relaxed then, but how did you achieve that?

It was very hard to straighten and make it look nice. It was also hard to maintain.

Thank you, it was relaxed. 2 cornrows one on each side I braided them wet with vo5 strawberry conditioner and took it out after 2 days.
