Default Lettuce harvest question

Hi - for the first time I am this year growing lettuce in my garden. I
bought some head lettuce plants and all is ok. I also bought some of what I
thought were leaf lettuce plants but now I am not sure. As a kid I remember
my Dad growing leaf lettuce in a row and just snipping it off to collect it
and it grew back ... that is what I was after.

What I got is called Salad Bowl ... some are red and some are green color.
How do I harvest these? Do they form a head and then get cut and done or
can I cut the leaves and they grow back?

Thanks for your ideas and help.
