Defined as a hairstyle featuring graduated layers cut into naturally black hair, black hair with layers, often referred to as a "layered bob" when cut to shoulder length, is a flattering and versatile style for individuals with both fine and thick hair textures.
The layered style adds volume and movement to fine hair, while it helps to reduce bulk and weight in thick hair. Historically, the layered bob gained popularity in the 1920s as a symbol of liberation and modernity for women.
