Why Precision Matters in Blunt Cuts

Unlike layered or textured styles, a blunt bob relies entirely on accuracy. Dull or mismatched shears create uneven edges, forcing stylists to over-correct and compromise the design. That’s why precision shears are essential—they ensure smooth cutting from root to tip, creating straight lines without pushing or folding hair.

Choosing the Right Shears for Sharp Lines

The best shears for blunt bobs share several qualities:

• ✅ Convex edges for smooth, effortless cutting
• ✅ High-quality Japanese steel for durability and sharpness
• ✅ Ergonomic handles for comfort during longer precision sessions
• ✅ Balanced weight for stability and control

Whether you’re using swivel shears for ergonomic comfort or traditional straight handles, the edge quality and steel grade are what truly define your results.

FAQ: Shears for Blunt Bobs & Precision Cuts

What size shear is best for blunt bobs?

5.5” to 6.0” shears are ideal for control and precision when creating straight lines.

Can I use swivel shears for blunt cuts?

Yes. Swivel shears provide ergonomic benefits, reducing wrist strain while still delivering the sharpness needed for precision cuts.

Do I need different shears for blunt cuts versus texturizing?

Yes. Blunt cuts require razor-sharp edges for clean lines, while texturizing shears are designed to remove bulk and add movement.

How often should I sharpen my precision shears?
