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.
Long Bob
You prefer a elongated and balanced outline with a polished finish and the defining feature of a bob-shaped perimeter positioned around the shoulders or collarbone.
Salon wording: Ask for a collarbone-length bob and clarify whether you prefer a blunt base, subtle internal layers, or a slightly longer front.
