How can feathered layers work with a bob?

“It’s the feathered layers that bring out individual personality in a bob,” Byrne says. “A good hair cutter will know where to take the layers and how much to feather according to your individual features. Always invest in a good haircut, as this should last you between three and five months. It’s also important to take good care of your hair between salon appointments. I recommend always finishing with an oil for added shine and to keep ends hydrated.”

How will a feathered bob look on different hair textures?

“The feathered bob works on all hair textures as long as it is cut well,” says Byrne. “I always recommend booking a consultation with your stylist beforehand to explain exactly what you want to achieve. Your stylist will then be able to advise you depending on your hair type and texture. I use feathering in all my haircutting to personalise the cut with an undone but precise finish to ensure the hairstyle fits each of my clients.”

What to ask your stylist for

“First, you need to find the right stylist for you. Research their work beforehand to ensure they are the right fit for the style you want,” he explains. “Then make sure you tell them that you would like a feathering technique – it’s important to know that using thinning scissors will not get you the same results; instead, they will make your hair look drier and wirier. I also recommend asking for colour to enhance the texture of this style.”
