Textured Crop
You prefer a compact and forward-moving outline with a textured finish and the defining feature of short sides with choppy, separated texture across the top.
Salon wording: Ask for short, tidy sides and a scissor-cut top with enough uneven texture to style forward or slightly to one side.
Asymmetrical Bob
You prefer a angled and asymmetric outline with a sleek finish and the defining feature of a bob perimeter with deliberately unequal lengths from side to side.
Salon wording: Ask for a clearly intentional length difference, then agree on the shorter side, longest point, parting, and amount of graduation through the back.
