French Bob
A short, slightly undone bob that grazes the jaw, often with a soft fringe — the effortless Parisian cut, previewed on your own photo.

Who it suits
The French bob sits between the chin and jaw and is deliberately a little undone, which makes it feel modern rather than precise. It flatters oval and longer faces best, where the short length adds width and the jaw-grazing line draws attention to the cheekbones. It’s happiest on fine to medium hair with a straight or slightly wavy texture — the cut relies on a clean perimeter, so very thick or coarse hair can fight the shape. A soft fringe is classic with it but optional; without one it reads cleaner and more grown-up.
What to expect in real life
A French bob is short, so it needs a shape-up every 5–7 weeks to stay at the flattering length — let it grow and it loses the chic, deliberate line that defines it. The upside is the styling: it’s meant to look slightly tousled, so air-drying with a little texture spray is often all it takes. If your hair is very straight you may want a quick bend with a flat iron or a round brush to stop it sitting too severe. It’s a low-effort look day to day but a higher-commitment cut at the salon.
How this is different from a filter
A filter drops a flat hair shape over your photo or blurs the edges — it can’t show you how a chin-length cut will actually sit against your jaw or whether the length lands where it flatters. Stylery re-renders the bob onto your real photo — the perimeter line, the volume through the ends, the optional fringe — without changing your face. You see a short cut on your own jaw and neck, which is exactly the thing a filter can’t honestly preview.
