Section the box bob haircut 

Sectioning in the hair is taken by splitting the densities in the front and back. The back section is much larger than the sides, and the back is split into two down the middle. Then the sectioning is taken horizontally across so the hair can be cut. This simple method will be repeated up the head. Utilizing the same method of hair cutting for consistency.  

Keep the box bob cutting techniques simple 

It's a simple technique, Matt doesn't want to over complicate this classic. He takes the head and it's in a neutral, balanced, non-tilted position. He wants to look at the hair in a natural position and visualize where his bob line will sit. Once he's ready Matt begins cutting. Using the wider toothed end of his comb, he holds the hair in place with zero elevation against the neck and starts cutting in the middle. 

Be methodical when cutting a box bob 

Work your way up systematically following the guideline. Once the back is complete, Matt moves on to the sides, following the same cutting technique. Then repeats the process on the opposite side until all the hair is cut. You won't be able to tell if the hair is perfectly one length until its styled but look out for balance in the shape. 

Dry and style the box bob 

Then style the hair. Grab your blow-dryer and irons. For a classic box bob, straight really gives it a statement. Matt flat wraps the hair smooth to get the hair shiny and dry, he then goes in with his straightening iron and polishes the hair perfectly smooth. Now it's dry he has noticed an overhang, which is caused by over-direction, so he goes in and sharpens off the look.
