The angled cut towards the front adds sophistication to the look. This color and cut combination looks amazing on women with various skin complexions, especially a warmer one.

#27: Very Short Stacked Cut with a Tapered Back

This hairstyle is a very short, stacked, inverted bob by Lilli Loeffler, a hairstylist from Whitefish, MT.

Unlike a classic A-line, this cut features a tapered back with stacked layers. The undercut helps with the styling as it keeps the weight line longer to hold the shape of the inverted bob with short stack.

To style short stacked haircuts, Loeffler suggests applying a lightweight volumizing product called anti-gravity from Kevin Murphy.

“This high inverted stacked bob with nape undercut is great for both thick or thin hair. For thin hair, it creates height and volume. With thicker hair, the layering can take the bulk out of it for a smoother look around the face,” Loeffler states.

Oval face shapes are also great with bob hair cuts, but a round face shape would pair nicely with this one.

A popular, short stacked inverted bob has short layers in the back that continue to get long in the front. It’s a trendy look for women of all ages desiring an edgy yet feminine appeal.

Whether with straight or textured locks—a bob cut is a perfect canvas for various hairstyles. It’s customizable to suit a round, oval, or square face shape. Moving the partition from the center to the side can create a subtle yet visible change to your look.

Michelle Summers-Davies, a Matrix Artist ambassador from Wales, UK, shares her expert view on this cut. “Hair texture, hairline, and face shape are factors to consider in getting this cut,” she says. “It’s vital to ask your stylist about the suitability of this cut with your features and lifestyle.”

She continues, “The bob haircut is a classic piece popular for all ages. Styling this versatile cut means changing it from an inverted to a boxy, chin-length bob or lob.”

It’s imperative to know that the sides must carry the same angle as the back for short, inverted stacked haircuts. “This way, it’s easier to avoid producing a heavy baseline. It’s also vital that layers be texturized and not too blunt to add movement and takeaway extra bulk,” she adds.

A drawback to this cut relates to women with curly or frizzy hair wanting pin-straight hair. “This situation calls for more styling to achieve the desired look,” she explains. “Having skills in hairstyling while using good styling tools will solve this drawback.”
