Italian Bob

The Italian Bob is a classic cut that addresses the issue of flat, lifeless hair by strategically creating weight at the bottom and lightness at the top. The course demonstrates how to combine precise line technique with a square layer on wavy or straight hair to create a hairstyle full of movement and volume that the client can easily style every day.

Paweł Rup guides you through the entire process, from consulting and diagnosing the “pancake effect” problem, through the precise division of the head into line and layer sections, all the way to the final styling. You’ll see how the lower section, cut using the line technique, creates a solid foundation and the weight of the bob, while the upper section, styled in a square layer, lightens the interior and gives the hairstyle natural movement.

In this course, you'll learn:

• The "invisible bangs" technique – how to section off and cut a short strand that, when swept back, frames the face but remains invisible on a daily basis
• A precise division of the head into four zones based on anatomy—the occipital bone and the curve of the head—as the foundation for building weight and lightness
• Building a line with a break – why each subsequent segment is cut 0.5 cm longer to create a curve and avoid a flat shape
• Work in a square section (at a 90-degree angle to the head) using vertical sections to remove bulk from the interior of the hairstyle without losing length
• A styling technique that combines a diffuser with irregularly wrapped strands around a brush – how to achieve a natural, effortless look with movement and volume
• A recessed crown in the 180-degree projection, serving as the final detail that connects the upper section to the back and adds lightness to the crown
• Cutting bangs using the sliding technique to give them lightness and direction without shortening the base length

After watching this course, you’ll learn to consciously manage the weight and volume of a hairstyle, turning flat hair into an asset. You’ll learn how to create a bob with a solid foundation and dynamic volume, and the “invisible bangs” technique will become your go-to tool for crafting modern, easy-to-style cuts that clients will love for their versatility.
