Required registry views

One cut. Four viewpoints.

A single portrait can hide the taper, fade height, crown, weight line, or neckline. Every published Hairqut record must show the construction from the front, three-quarter, side, and rear. The recorded fashion white backdrop keeps the silhouette readable while preserving fine strand detail.

The registered views establish the reference. This blueprint pins the most important construction decisions directly to those source views, then makes adaptation, maintenance, and the chair-side conversation clear.

Verified-angle construction map

Approved-view rounded curly bob construction map

The approved front, side, and rear registry views are annotated only where the center part, balanced width, rounded crown-to-rear curve, upper-neck dry perimeter, continued rear part, and balanced rounded edge are visible. The diagram does not prescribe curl type, exact length, hidden layering, sectioning, elevation, overdirection, cutting angle, tension, product formula, or timing.

Annotated front construction map for Rounded Curly Bob. Front view of a rounded dark copper-brown curly bob with a center part — Center part and balanced side width
The front establishes a visible center part and a rounded, broadly balanced side-to-side silhouette.
01
Center part
A visible central part divides the front curl fall; depth, section width, and natural persistence are not recorded
02
Balanced side width
Defined curl groups create broadly balanced width around the cheeks and jaw without proving identical density or hidden internal layers

Side90°

Approved publication view

Rounded crown-to-rear curve and upper-neck perimeter

The profile shows a continuous rounded outer curve and a dry curl edge finishing above the shoulder.

Rounded crown-to-rear curve

The visible outer silhouette flows from crown into rear projection; elevation, layering, and weight placement remain unknown

Upper-neck dry perimeter

The lowest visible curl ends sit around the upper neck and remain clear of the shoulder; exact stretched or wet length is not stored

Annotated rear construction map for Rounded Curly Bob. Rear view of a rounded curly bob showing center part, volume, and a balanced perimeter — Continued center part and balanced rounded edge
The rear records a centered crown part, dense visible curl distribution, and a softly balanced lower silhouette.
01
Continued center part
The central part remains visible through the upper rear crown; hidden sectioning and natural reset behavior are not established
02
Balanced rounded edge
The lower rear curl edge reads softly rounded and broadly balanced rather than blunt, pointed, or shoulder-length

Pins locate the reference evidence; the numbered notes make the request legible in the chair. This is an original Hairqut communication diagram, not a universal service prescription.

Provenance: The diagram uses locked approved publication views that mirror the reconciled formal package byte-for-byte. Semantic HTML and SVG overlays preserve those pixels. A newer generated raster passed the six exact labels but remains internal because it re-renders the subject and rasterizes critical meaning.

Reference result

A center-parted rounded curly bob with defined curl groups, cheek-to-jaw width, a rounded crown-to-rear curve, and a dry edge above the shoulders.

Starting-state gate

A professional must assess natural pattern, dry and wet length, shrinkage, density, strand support, growth direction, part behavior, condition, porosity, scalp, prior cut, and routine before confirming the result.

Personal adaptation

Desired width, face framing, part location, neck contact, volume, definition, drying routine, climate, and maintenance tolerance matter more than copying the image. The visible curl finish is not a universal curl-type rule.

What is known, what must be assessed.

Every field is marked by its evidence boundary. “Unknown” is intentional: the registry never invents hidden technique, anatomy, timing, or price.

Construction

Technical specification

Taxonomy and naming: The canonical record identifies a rounded curly bob: a short bob-family haircut defined by a rounded dry silhouette and curly reference finish.; Recorded
Front geometry: A center part divides defined curl groups into a broadly balanced silhouette around the cheeks and jaw.; Visible
Top and crown: The crown reads rounded with restrained lift and no visible flat top, peak, or disconnected short zone; hidden support is not recorded.; Visible
Side profile: The outer line follows a rounded crown-to-rear curve with projected curl mass and a dry edge above the shoulder.; Visible
Rear geometry: The rear shows distributed curl mass, a continued central part, and a softly balanced rounded lower edge.; Visible
Dry perimeter: Visible curl ends sit between jaw and upper neck across the views; exact centimetres, stretched length, and wet length are not recorded.; Visible
Parting and direction: A central part is visible from front through upper rear crown. Its natural persistence, section width, and reset behavior require assessment.; Visible
Weight and layering: The finished surface supports a rounded distribution of visible mass, but does not prove internal layers, elevation, graduation, weight removal, or a cutting method.; Visible
Texture classification: Defined small-to-medium curl groups are visible. An exact curl type such as 3B cannot be reliably assigned from the images alone.; Visible
Hidden construction: Sectioning, elevation, overdirection, graduation, internal layers, cutting angle, tension, wet-to-dry allowance, tool path, and finishing formula are not stored or safely inferable.; Unknown
Variation boundary: An off-center part, asymmetry, blunt triangle, stacked nape, disconnected undercut, shag perimeter, shoulder-length lob, or stretched smooth finish is a variation rather than this exact reference.; Recorded

Adaptation

Hair and suitability

Reference texture: The approved result shows defined curly hair with diameter variation and light surface texture. This is a visible finish, not proof of the natural unstyled pattern or an exact curl class.; Visible
Pattern and shrinkage: Assess pattern variation, shrinkage, expansion, frizz, spring, wet-to-dry change, and desired definition by zone before setting the perimeter.; Assess
Density and strand support: Assess density and strand diameter through temples, sides, crown, rear, and nape. Different support may require retained weight, altered width, or a different internal plan.; Assess
Growth and part behavior: Assess natural part, crown split, hairline, cowlicks, side direction, and nape growth before promising the centered fall or rear balance.; Assess
Length and achievable shape: Assess dry, stretched, and wet length by zone. Short, uneven, heavily layered, damaged, or broken areas may need adaptation or growth before supporting the reference outline.; Assess
Condition and porosity: Assess dryness, absorption, buildup, tangling, breakage, elasticity, colour or chemical history, and heat response before detangling, cutting, or finishing.; Assess
Scalp and sensitivity: Assess tenderness, irritation, lesions, flaking, thinning, ingredient sensitivity, detangling tolerance, and heat comfort before service.; Assess
Face and head shape: No universal face-shape rule is supported. Personalize part position, front framing, side width, crown lift, rear projection, and perimeter position while retaining the rounded bob identity.; Assess
Routine and environment: Confirm wash frequency, detangling, drying, definition, refresh method, sleep routine, climate, activity, product tolerance, time, budget, and maintenance preference.; Assess
Continuous-view limitation: The four AI-derived views are internally consistent illustrations but do not prove one continuous physical subject, identical curl placement, or a hidden one-to-one section map.; Unknown

Service handoff

Booking service: womens_haircut
Appointment duration: Not specified in canonical evidence; confirm after dry and wet length, shrinkage, density, tangling, current shape, scalp, detangling, drying, and finish expectations are assessed.
Price: Not stored in this style record; the current booking service controls price and any correction, treatment, extensive detangling, drying, or additional finish requires separate confirmation.

Consultation

Confirm dry shape, shrinkage allowance, and preferred width

Agree on the intended dry perimeter, cheek-to-jaw width, crown profile, part location, face framing, and shoulder clearance using the approved views.
Assess natural pattern, shrinkage, density, strand diameter, growth direction, current layers, damage, porosity, scalp, and usual dry state before choosing construction.
Confirm whether the current length and prior cut can support the rounded outline now or whether an adapted shape or growth plan is needed.
Confirm detangling, cleansing, drying, heat, product feel, climate, time, budget, and maintenance preferences without prescribing a fixed routine.

Care plan

Keep the intent, not a fixed schedule.

1
When the dry outline loses balance
Reassess the shape before removing length
The source mentioned 8–12 weeks, but shrinkage, growth, density, desired width, condition, routine, and budget determine actual timing.
2
On wash or reset days
Support curl groups without forcing a reference texture
Use cleansing, conditioning, detangling, definition, and drying methods selected for the current scalp, pattern, porosity, sensitivity, buildup, and routine.
3
Between full resets
Refresh only where needed
Water or a compatible light refresh category may help selected areas, but stop or adapt if residue, dryness, tangling, irritation, or loss of movement increases.
4
As the part or volume shifts
Review comfort and daily behavior
Reassess part persistence, crown split, face contact, neck contact, climate response, sleep compression, and styling time before changing the shape.

Home kit

Product categories, not product pressure.

Cleanse

Gentle scalp and hair cleansing category

Choose strength and frequency for scalp, buildup, activity, pattern, porosity, colour history, and routine.

Condition

Conditioning and detangling category

Choose slip and weight for the current density, strand diameter, porosity, tangling, ingredient response, and desired movement.

Define

Leave-in and curl-definition category

Select hold, weight, layering, scent, and washability through testing; the approved finish does not establish a formula.

Dry

Air-dry or controlled diffuser category

Choose airflow, temperature, handling, and duration for condition, shrinkage, volume preference, scalp comfort, and heat tolerance.

These are care and tool categories, not paid placements or a substitute for professional assessment. No exact curl class, hidden layer map, sectioning, elevation, overdirection, cutting angle, tension, wet-to-dry allowance, product formula, heat setting, appointment duration, price, maintenance interval, or universal suitability is prescribed.

Book with this Blueprint

Blueprint v1.2 · reviewed September 12, 2026. Every diagram pin and technical field was checked against the approved front, side, or rear publication view, the canonical record, and the formal evidence package. Exact curl class, length, hidden layering, sectioning, elevation, overdirection, cutting line, tension, porosity, face-shape suitability, heat setting, product formula, maintenance timing, appointment duration, price, continuity, and unrecorded generation details were left unknown or assessment-required rather than inferred.

Why this record passed with warnings

Studio exposure varies visibly across the four viewpoints, most notably between the front and side fields; the curl silhouette remains fully readable.
AI-derived viewpoints are internally consistent illustrations, not proof that one physical 3D subject was photographed from four angles.
