Inverted Bob Haircuts

An inverted bob haircut is an asymmetrical variation of the bob haircut, which is traditionally shorter in length. The hair is much shorter in the back, with an almost "stacked" appearance, giving a great deal of height in the crown area. Longer layers are left to frame the front of the face.http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/apr/13/hair-raising-inverted-bob-hairstyle-back-style Celebrities who have sported this style reality television mom of 8 Kate Gosselin and singer Rihanna. The haircut is sometimes called "posh bob", nicknamed after Victoria Beckham who has also worn an inverted bob. The style is also sometimes called concave bob, stacked bob, or wedge bob.http://hair.lovetoknow.com/Images_of_Inverted_Bob_Hairstyle

Inverted bob hairstyles first became popular in the 1920s. They have come back in style several times since then, including in the 1960s, when the hair style academy Vidal Sassoon reinvented the hairstyle. It is suitable both for curly and straight hair and the hair can be parted in the middle or to the side.http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/apr/13/hair-raising-inverted-bob-hairstyle-back-style/

The inverted bob hairstyle is versatile and can either be short, with the front layers only long enough to reach the lips, or long, with longer layers falling long enough so that it sweeps below the chin or just above the shoulders. This style can also be worn with or without bangs and works well with various hair textures including sleek and straight or curly hair.http://www.beauty-and-the-bath.com/Inverted-Bob-Hair-Styles-Gallery.html No matter which version is worn, this style is said to make a woman's neck look longer.http://www.fullerheadofhair.com/a/inverted-bob-haircut.shtml
