Laurent Voisinet Breaks Down His Texturised Bob in 8 Steps

Laurent Voisinet's texturised bob from his Neo-Kawaii collection runs on eight cutting steps, and each one trades heavy graduation for airy, graphic softness. Photography for the step-by-step comes from Latil Pascal.

The cut pairs structured lines with relief and texture — Voisinet describes the result as both graphic and romantic. For working stylists, the technique matters because it delivers two distinct stylings from a single cut, which means a client can leave with a polished bob one visit and a softer, undone version the next without a re-cut.

What are the eight cutting steps?

1. Take a centre parting, then a horizontal parting at mid-ear level.
2. Cut the length of the bob using the full blade of the scissors.
3. Take a horizontal connecting parting with the sides. Cut the sides using the full blade.
4. Work vertically from the vertex towards the nape.
5. Continue this movement towards the nape.
6. Work across the whole nape using scissor-over-comb and point cutting.
7. Define the fringe. Work vertically from the vertex towards the fringe.
8. Work the sides in orange-segment sections, starting from the vertex, to soften the angle.

Step 8 carries an optional extension: depending on the hair's texture, texturise the whole head with point cutting or slide cutting.

Which tools does the technique depend on?

Three scissor techniques do the work here. The full blade establishes the bob's length and the sides; scissor-over-comb and point cutting clean up the nape; point cutting or slide finishing adds texture where the hair type calls for it.

That mix keeps the service efficient. The structural work happens fast with full-blade cutting, and the texturising stays optional — so a stylist can adapt the finish to fine or thick hair without changing the base cut.

What does the final look deliver?

Voisinet frames the payoff simply: one cut, two different stylings. The mid-ear horizontal parting anchors the silhouette, the orange-segment sectioning softens the side angles, and the vertical work from vertex to nape and fringe keeps the shape connected.

The Neo-Kawaii collection sits alongside his other editorial work — and the next collection drop is the follow-up worth watching for anyone booking this cut into autumn training.
