We've seen nearly every iteration of the bob emerge in recent years, but one you can expect to see more of in the coming months is the "sliced" version of the cut. Unlike the others, this take on the style has loads of texture and movement.
"Slicing is a texturizing technique used to break up solid shapes and remove weight, creating movement and texture," Jenna Spino, a stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago, previously told POPSUGAR. "When used on a bob haircut, you get a 'sliced bob.' It's a sleek, blunt but textured 'do." Nine Zero One master stylist Lisa Satorn adds: "The slicing technique transforms a blunt one-length bob into a low maintenance, chic, slimmer silhouette."
The hairstyle combines the best of both worlds: "It has more texture than a classic bob but is more blunt than a choppy, layered bob," Spino says. That's because the slicing technique doesn't add traditional layers, which allows you to keep the blunt ends while still benefiting from movement in the style. "It helps give movement yet sleekness at the same time," says Satorn.
