Stacked bob hairstyles are growing in popularity, as they give your short hair more volume and fullness than a conventional bob.
The Story on Stacking
Stacked bob hairstyles are really nothing more than graduated cuts. The hair in the back is shorter than the front, much like an inverted bob. The difference is that the layering is very drastic in the back. This bob hairstyle gets its name because the layers of hair are literally stacked on top of each other. You'll end up with some very short pieces on the bottom layers, which naturally cause the style to poof out and build shape as it goes upward.
Front and Center
While your hair is stacked in the back, your personality can shine through with how you style the front. For example, the hair in the front can stretch all the way down to your chin or further. Alternatively, you can keep the front relatively short provided it's still the longest part of your style. Angling longer bangs in the front can make this a more modern hairstyle since bangs are very stylish at present. You can also play with your part. A side part, which accentuates a sweeping bang, can soften your features and make this short cut look more feminine.
Stacked Hair Styling
Not only will you love the look of this instant modern hairstyle, you'll also love how easy it is to style. Because this cut is complex, your styling skills don't have to be. You can wash and go when you're short on time and when you're ready to put in a little extra effort you can really make it stand out. Use a shine cream and straightening iron to smooth out the angled pieces in the front for a stunning sleek look. Or use your curling iron to add some extra depth and shape to the front and top pieces.
