Let’s clear up the confusion, If you’ve ever wondered whether a bob and a blunt cut are two different types of hair, the answer is no because they can actually be made from the same hair. The difference is mainly in how the hair is cut and styled.
What is a Bob?
A bob refers to a hairstyle where the hair is cut short, usually around the jawline, chin, or neck area, the common bob lengths are usually 6”-12” hairs.
A bob can have different finishes depending on how it is cut and styled. For example, a bob can be:
- Straight
- Curved
- Layered
- Asymmetrical
- Blunt
So, when you see a “bob wig” you are generally looking at hair that has been cut into a shorter length and shape.
What is a Blunt Cut?
In simple terms, A blunt cut describes the cutting technique, That’s all.
It doesn’t necessarily mean a short hair because a blunt cut can be used on different lengths of hair. A blunt cut gives the ends of the hair an evenly straight cut, uniform finish, You can have a short blunt cut, a shoulder length blunt cut, or even longer blunt cut hair.
So, Are Bob and Blunt Cut the Same Thing?
Not exactly, but they can overlap.
Think of it this way:
Bob = the overall hairstyle
Blunt cut = the way the ends are cut
The way a wig is cut can significantly change its appearance. A blunt cut gives the ends a fuller, sharper and more structured appearance, while a different bob cut may have softer, tapered or layered ends.
This is why two wigs made from the same hair type and quality can look completely different after cutting and styling.
TO CONCLUDE
If you’re shopping for a Bob or Blunt cut wig, you’re not necessarily choosing between two different types of hair, You’re choosing how you want the hair to be cut and finished. It is important to note that a blunt cut may require more hair to be cut off if you’re trying to achieve a very precise and sharp look.
