Soft Bob with Subtle Inward Curl
A gentle, ear-length bob with ends softly curved inward, creating a refined and demure look, a hallmark of classic Japanese feminine short styles.
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a clean bob perimeter
- movement from the c-bend
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Medium upkeep
- Expect a few minutes of styling most days to keep the shape reading the way it does here.
- At the salon
- A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

“I like the c-bend and the short silhouette. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
