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.
Stacked Bob
You prefer a rounded and angled outline with a polished finish and the defining feature of graduated back layers flowing into a longer angled front.
Salon wording: Ask for graduated stacking through the back with a longer front, then decide how steep the angle and how full the crown should appear.
