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.
Micro Bob
You prefer a compact and precise outline with a sleek finish and the defining feature of an ultra-short bob perimeter positioned above the chin.
Salon wording: Ask for a bob that sits clearly above the chin and clarify the exact relationship to the lips, cheekbones, ears, and preferred fringe.
