Hi does anyone have photos of their asymmetrical bob haircut? Considering this after always having long hair x

Not sure this is useful to you OP, but I think it's a horrible and very outdated hairstyle

WeCameToDance · 06/01/2019 15:19

Ive had a few and I would also say dont do it! Not because they look bad but because they are hideous to grow out. My hair has never looked as bad as when I have been growing out an asymetrical hairstyle. What about an inverted bob? They look great in lots of lengths and are far easier to grow out when you want a change.

ReturnofSaturn · 06/01/2019 15:26

Any opinions welcome pinky. What would you suggest for a shorter haircut? I've only ever had longg hair.

That's a good point wecame. Just remembered I actually had my hair shaved on both sides at one point and the rest long...took ages to grow out Grin

Unless you want to complain to the manager in every establishment you visit then you shouldn't go for it.

I can't be the only one who read that as asymmetrical boob and then thought, ooh, I have one!.

Luckingfovely · 06/01/2019 15:54

Also did it when I was younger and it was hideous and took forever to look normal again.

A good hairdresser should be able to recommend what would look best for your hair type and face shape and lifestyle - there is no way in the world that internet strangers can give you any useful advice at all.

ReturnofSaturn · 06/01/2019 16:29

I didn't create this thread to ask for advice luckingfovely ...I was asking for pictures.

ReturnofSaturn · 06/01/2019 17:19

I did google but most images on google images were of bobs on rather good looking women so of course they looked good with their bobs....as iam not particularly good looking myself I was hoping to see the haircut on a more varied looking bunk of people Grin

Goodness, lots of criticism here! Go to Pinterest OP. I have a (slightly) asymmetric bob with balayage based on a few things from there. No idea what all the hate is about 😂

Rusty me too! GrinGrinGrin

darlingShelby · 06/01/2019 17:46

It was actually a good idea for the opto ask for real pics ( if posters want to share ) as the ones online from hairdressers, don’t really show true to life examples.
How it wears etc...

CandleWithHair · 06/01/2019 17:50

Don’t do it unless your name happens to be Susan

DarcieStarlight · 06/01/2019 17:54

@CandleWithHair we think alike. Refer to my post below Wink

CandleWithHair · 06/01/2019 18:15

@darciestarlight when your haircut becomes meme worthy, it’s probably had its day Grin

TheNavigator · 06/01/2019 18:18

That meme is just rank misogyny, please refrain from spoiling the lovely S&B board with such woman hating nonsense.

Fairyangela · 06/01/2019 18:22

That meme isn’t even of an asymmetrical bob surely? I’d have thought asymmetrical is one side longer than the other?! Not the back shorter than the front.

chuffnstuff · 06/01/2019 18:23

Op, I have an inverted bob, but no pictures, though will look on my hairdressers FB page. Best hairstyle/cut I've ever had.

FlyingMonkeys · 06/01/2019 18:25

I think the problem with 'low maintenance styles' is they rarely are. Unless you have very good hair that falls naturally into shape you'll probably spend more time faffing with it than you'd want to.

CandleWithHair · 06/01/2019 18:46

@TheNavigator Hmm ok then. Fwiw I have had that hair style myself previously, and I think the meme is funny. Does literally no one on MN have a sense of humour anymore?!

TheNavigator · 06/01/2019 18:55

Nope, I'm obviously an uptight menopausal cow. That is what your 'hilarious' meme is implying, isn't it? Do you also enjoy mother in law jokes?

fartwhenyoustandup · 06/01/2019 19:01

What? What on Earth could anyone possibly find as misogynistic about that meme?
And what's up with mother in law jokes?
