I'd like to hear about the Taylor Swift look on him, too. I am back now on FB with a new account name. Best of all is that I can maintain my Guys With Bobs FB pag!
That was a very cool post, Paige. I'd love to hear a report about how the things went with the bangs. The bob with bangs cut has always been one of my favorite styles, though I've never worn it myself. I've done the chin length blunt cut thing, but I never felt like my hairline or front volume would work well with bangs. I've considered trying some clip-in bangs sometime, though.
Hi, I love the discussion of guys in bobs -- when I first met my BF he was growing his hair out and it had all these layers and was kind of a mess. I got him to go to my stylist and she started trimming it into a cute style and when it got to his shoulders she suggested a chin-length bob. He was reluctant at first but finally agreed after we showed him some photos of bobs that would look good on him. He finally went with the bob about 2 years ago and he absolutely loves it. He usually wears it behind his ears, with a headband, for work, and it looks super-clean and professional, yet feminine. On the weekends I usually set it on rollers for more of a Marilyn Monroe curly bob. Bobbing his hair (and letting me curl it) was a big step for him in embracing a more feminine look and lifestyle. We've been thinking about bangs for him for a while and after seeing Taylor Swift's bob-with-bangs at the Grammys the other night he's finally agreed to go for it! It'll look very girlish but I think he's ready for it. We're getting his bangs cut on Friday. I can't wait!!
Enjoy your bob and don't worry about the haters --

Thanks. Unfortunately, Facebook demanded ID for my account that I had created the page under (BobbedGuy). I am not sure I want to not be anonymous. Don't know. So, I can't access and maintain that page now.

Well I finally have a long bob that I love. My thick brown hair is cut in a one length bob just above my shoulders with bangs. Love the way it looks and swings

Ge the bob. I love mine. I have grown it out more and it is now a lob--a long bob that touches my shoulder blades and angles up to a stack in the back.

I have a bob haircut with bangs now. If anyone wants to see pictures they are in Yahoo groups ” guys_bobbed_cuts” in the album called ” My fem bob”. Check them out and let me know what you think. I hope this thread isn't dead.

A couple of ideas--find a girl with a bob that looks great and ask who cuts here hair. Maybe find a couple of them and get a couple of ads. I tried that but never made the connection because her stylist had just moved out of town. Then I stumbled on a stylist's ad on a local web site and checked her out by looking at her Facebook page. She looked cool and so I went with her. Unfortunately, she just moved a 100 miles away so I may have to change stylists. You should also join the GuyswithBobs Group on Yahoo--there are lots of pix of guys with bobs. Marcy, in particular, wears bobs that are extremely fem, more than I could get away with.

After I have the feminine bob with bangs there will be nothing they can say that will bother me. I will have the confidence to swing my bob and tell them they are just jealous. I do plan to try to find a young stylist that will help me with transitional cuts that hopefully get more fem each time. I have several pictures and I want her to help me choose which one will best suite me. Can't wait to have a fem bob with bangs that swings and bounces each time I turn my head. How do I go about finding the right girl to help me??

Once I have the bob there will be non going back so I won't care what people say. Besides, then I will have the confidence to just swing my bob and tell them they are just jealous. I do plan on doing as you said and going to a nice younger girl if I can find one and letting her take me through the growing out with transitional cuts. I already have several pictures of bobs that I like. I'm going to let her help me pic the one that will be best for my features and hopefully she will get me there with great cuts that look more and more fem each time until I get the fem bob of my dreams. I can't wait to get there and get the bob so it swings and bounces each time I turn my head. And a bob that no one will mistake for a guys cut.

If you can't get through the awkward grow-out phase and comments you get what will you do with comments about your bob? I think what you need to do is to take some pix of your target cut to a stylist and tell her you need help in getting there with transition styles that will always look good at any point along the way. You need a pro to help you through that.

I wish my hair were that long now or at least long enough to get it cut in a bob. I have the midset, I think, to do it but I have to go through the growing out process first and that is where I have always had problems with "your a guy get a haircut" and "your hair is too lng for a guy get it cut". That will be my biggest problem for a few months but if I can get ideas and advice on how to get through that I will definitely get my hair cut in the jaw length feminine bob with bangs that I have wanted all of my life and I will be able to enjoy the feel of it and the swing of it when I turn my head. So like I have asked before I need advice on how to get through that and which bob styles are the MOST fem because I don't want to be able to hide the fact that I have a feminine cut once I get that bob with bangs
