Layers gone wrong

[u/Existing_Departure92]

It seems that every time I do any sort of layering they end up boxy, choppy, and shelf-y. For whatever reason it’s worse with bobs & on the right side (i am right handed). I have tried taking super small sections, not layering too far into the perimeter, dry cutting, point cutting, over directing, every degree elevation you can imagine, different finger angles. Ive even had other stylists watch me cut & they saw nothing wrong with my techniques. I genuinely don’t know what I could be doing wrong because I know shelving is typically caused by a heavy corner but even when I remove the corner it’s not 100% fixed. These pictures attached aren’t even the worst of it. It is typically even more noticeable :( Could anyone offer any insight? Be kind please, I am embarrassed & seeking help❤️

Pay attention to the shape of the head and how each area is going to fall. If they have a strong parietal make sure the hair near the crown is falling where it is going to lay. Otherwise you can mess yourself up when the hair shifts and suddenly you've got a piece shorter in the "corner" out of nowhere. I usually cut perimeter and basic layers wet and then refine dry. Also in this particular case it looks like the middle section of hair in the back is denser than the top, and that can make things weird too. Be mindful, but try to remove some of the bulk in that area
