Obviously I can take in the picture. But what would you ask for?

Is that actually a hair cut?

Lj8893 · 27/01/2018 20:53

A long bob

Lj8893 · 27/01/2018 20:54

A choppy long bob

It’s a picture of a haircut, if that helps.

No it’s a photo Wink

AdiosPeaceOfRoast · 27/01/2018 21:02

More of a digital image Grin

If your hair isn't wavy naturally you will have to style it yourself like that.

StripySocksAndDocs · 27/01/2018 21:08

Have wavy hair.

Pretty sure it's a haircut. What else might it be?

I want to not have the graduated layers at the front (around my face) which I seem to end up with when I ask for layers.

Show the hairdresser the photo?

StripySocksAndDocs · 27/01/2018 21:19

Long layered Bob. (According to Pinterest!)

Mylady · 27/01/2018 21:22

Its a long bob with some choppy layers - what exactly do you mean when you say you dont want graduated layers around your face when you ask for layers ? Graduation and layers are actually different things on a technical basis

spankhurst · 27/01/2018 21:22

It’s a Lob (proud).

AnotherRoadsideAttraction · 27/01/2018 21:28

It's an unrealistic image of one moment in time when the model's hair was tonged, sprayed and swooshed over her scalp at an unreasonable angle when normally her long bob layers lay fairly limp at the sides of her (gorgeous) face. HTH.

Lj8893 · 27/01/2018 21:30

God there is some catty comments on here for such a simple question from the op.

alittlepieceofme · 27/01/2018 21:32

Love the picture op, I've taken a screenshot of it! Good choice! Smile

NextInLine · 28/01/2018 13:52

Long layers, slightly below the shoulder, with a side parting.
The waves in the hair make it look slightly shorter than it actually is, I don't think it looks like a long bob.

StripySocksAndDocs · 28/01/2018 21:48

I mean this type of layers around my face. Generally this is what I've always had with my hair longer.
