Long Bob with Bangs

@longbobcabelo Adding bangs is the best way to spice up your lob haircut. With extra hair texture, a very long bob looks on point. All you need to style such blunt lob with bangs is a round brush, a hairdryer, and a shine spray. A curtain fringe will emphasize your facial features, and the long layers in front will balance all face shapes.

Long Bob Side Part

@romeufelipe Add some drama and volume to your lob haircut by switching your parting to the side. Make a messy incredibly low-maintenance look by disheveling the front strands with a bit of sea salt spray or just pin them back with some embellished clips.

Wavy Lob with Bangs

@ahappyjustin Beachy waves have withstood the test of time from the 40s to nowadays, however, they never look too basic - on the contrary, they add a sexy retro vibe to your image. Incredibly flattering, incredibly feminine, incredibly versatile, they suit women of all ages.

Shoulder Length Lob Haircut

@romeufelipe A mid-length blonde lob haircut is more popular than a short layered lob, as it’s less eccentric and more versatile. Also, a medium lob allows for numerous styling options from top knots to elegant updos, unlike an above-shoulder haircut like a classic bob.

Blonde Lob

@romeufelipe You can get a lot of volume out of your blonde blunt cut if you take a root lifter. Apply on damp hair and spray on the base of roots, blow dry it with a round brush, and add some soft, messy waves.

Straight Hair Lob

@cortesdivosoficial A simplistic straight lob shows off its choppy layers. With a creative zigzag parting and a touch of carelessness, this cute lob hairstyle looks so fresh. A straighter hair lob haircut works for various hair lengths. P.S. Don’t forget about the heat protectant before applying a flat iron!

Piecey Lob

@longbobcabelo Ohhh, these romantic beach-inspired waves! Wavy or curly hair is guaranteed to give that special playful vibe to any long bob. This relaxed and loose breezy medium hair style can be done with a big-barreled curling iron or large hot rollers. In the end, spritz some salt spray and lightly comb through your choppy lob hairstyle. Here is an easy how-to video.

Textured Lob with Bangs

@yukistylist Add a boho vibe to your soft lob hairstyle with a little bit of hair texture. Let your hair dry naturally and mist with a texturizing spray or run a few waves with a large barrel curler. Curtain bangs will add up to your shoulder-length cut.

Lob for Fine Hair

@romeufelipe Make your thin hair seem thicker with a blunt lob and some color highlights and lowlights. Consider dying your fine hair to let the lights, mediums, and darks work together with a volume-enhancing haircut for a visual «thickening» effect.

Lob with Side Bangs

@ahappyjustin Spice up your blonde lob with side-swept bangs. This is a cool and easy trick that helps to visually reduce the appearance of a large forehead or even make you look younger. Use a large round brush while blow-drying your asymmetrical lob to achieve the desired volume even on straight hair.

Curly Lob with Bangs

Middle Part Lob

If you’re planning to go for short hair and cut your hair into a bob or a lob, invest in a good curling iron and a couple of hair products like a shining spray, a dry shampoo, or a texturizing spray. Save the pictures of an inverted lob or asymmetrical lob with extra length in the front from this gallery to show your hairstylist and get your perfect long bob.

Celebrity Lob

Sexy and stylish, a lob couldn’t bypass the red carpet of Hollywood. Kendall Jenner along with all the Kardashian/Jenner clan are fans of sharp long bob haircuts. Lucy Hale and Olivia Culpo lob haircuts are other examples of a celebrity lob low-maintenance hairstyle.

What Is a Lob Haircut?

The definition of «lob haircut» is a long bob, meaning a super-versatile cut with hair length between the collarbone and chin - somewhere above the shoulders, at shoulder level, or just below them. Since lobs are neither too short nor too long, they allow for numerous styling options from a sharp and sleek lob to beach waves. Also, it’s possible to make an elegant updo for a special occasion.

Lob vs Bob

Instagram : agence_salon If you’re considering a brand new look but can’t choose between lob hair and bob cut, it all depends on where you are now. If you’ve got long hair and want to experiment, you should better try a lob first. If you’ve already had a lob, go for a bob - even if you don’t like it much, your hair will soon grow back into a lob, which is your safe tested zone. Also, when choosing between these two hairstyles, bear the next in mind:

• Length

A lob is usually shoulder-length, while bob is cut at jaw-level. A lob can be styled into an updo, a braid, a bun, or a ponytail, while bob is too short to make something more complex than a half-up.

• Texture

Both lobs and bobs work great with sleek, straight, choppy, textured, wavy, and curly hair. However, for extremely thick hair, a long bob is the only option since cutting it too short makes hair frizzy, unruly, and puffy. As for very thin hair, a bob will give it extra pump and volume.

• Face Shape

Lobs work for all face shapes, while bobs can make a round or square face bigger.

• Maintenance

Whichever you choose - lob or bob - you will have an easy-maintenance, stylish and sexy hairstyle that can harmoniously complement any outfit of yours.
