Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
A chic, modern alternative to long braids. Micro knotless plaits are installed with a deep side or center part, then cut and sealed at graduated lengths to create a sharp, collarbone-grazing A-line bob with natural swing.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Install micro knotless braids using a clean diamond or square grid across the entire head.
-
Trim the braids at graduated lengths: shorter at the nape (4 to 5 inches) and angling longer toward the front (10 to 12 inches).
-
Seal the cut ends by burning them neatly with a lighter or dipping them in hot water wrapped around small rollers for a beveled inward curve.
-
Add two gold filigree micro-cuffs along the longer front grazing braids.

Pro Styling Tip
A micro-braided bob has movement and drape similar to a silk press bob, without the heavy bulk of larger box-braid bobs.
