Length is slightly shorter at the nape (around 10-12 cm at the back) and longer at the front (around 18-22 cm), but the signature is STACKED ROUNDED VOLUME at the back of the head — layers built up at the crown and upper back create a rounded, slightly domed silhouette. The graduation is smooth and curved, building density and lift at the crown, NOT a sharp straight diagonal line. Style with a smooth blow-out and subtle curved waves that follow the rounded shape. NOT an A-line bob (which has a sharp diagonal line and no back volume — flat at the back), NOT a one-length bob (which is the same length all around with no graduation), NOT a long bob — the defining feature is the rounded volume at the crown and back of the head.

The graduated bob is the bob with stacked graduation at the back, falling to the chin at the front — short and stepped at the back, full length at the jaw in front. Victoria Beckham (again) wore the definitive 2000s version (her 'pob'); the modern variant is softer and less aggressive than the early-2000s original.
It flatters round and heart faces — the stacked back adds vertical volume that lengthens round faces, and the chin-length front balances heart-shaped jawlines. Straight hair shows the graduation cleanest; wavy hair softens the back stack into something less visible. The cut works less well on very curly hair where the stack disappears under the curl pattern.
Medium daily maintenance — needs a smoothing blowout to keep the back graduation defined. Air-drying tends to flatten the stack. Trim every six weeks; the graduation drifts as the back grows. The graduated bob has been in continuous rotation since the early 2000s and is one of the cuts most-associated with the era. Ask for 'stacked graduation at the back with the front falling at the jaw — Posh Spice circa 2002' — naming the reference is the fastest path to the right cut.
