A-line
A cut, usually a bob, that is shorter at the back and angles down to longer lengths at the front.
Also: A-line bob, inverted bob
An A-line cut slopes from short at the back to longer at the front, like the sides of the letter A. In an inverted bob the back is also graduated, so it stacks up at the nape. The slope can be gentle or steep. Stylists make it by over-directing hair forward, so the front keeps length. The shape frames the face and keeps the back light, and it is one of the most common variations on the bob.
