Previewing a shorter bob before a haircut
- Keep the original head angle.
- Preserve the silver color and light.
- Keep the face shape.
- Keep the ear jewelry.
- Preserve the ear outline.
- Follow the bob reference.
- Blend the new edge.
- Shorten the existing ends to the reference length.
The separate bob reference supplies the length and outline. The main photo supplies the face, earring and window light.
Fictional haircut-preview demonstration: compare a shorter bob before deciding to cut this woman’s naturally gray hair. The face, visible earring, pose, unaffected sweater and room are retained. Only hair and areas originally hidden by that hair are changed; newly revealed neck, sweater and background are simulated estimates. The portrait and landscape share the same haircut, with common side extensions in the landscape. This is a visual preview, not a guarantee of a physical haircut.
