What Is a Lob Hairstyle?

Is it considering going shorter but afraid of regretting a drastic cut? A long bob is an ideal in-between length that suits all hair textures and face shapes; it can even be dressed up for formal occasions by adding simple accessories.

Straight-Across Bangs

Straight-across bangs complement blunt lobs well and look flattering on oval and heart-shaped faces. Try center parting with curtain fringe for an ultra-chic and sophisticated look.

Layers

Long lobs with layers are suitable for all hair textures and face shapes. If you have fine hair, your stylist can add delicate, subtle layers to prevent your ends from puffing out into an unflattering triangle shape. Conversely, thicker locks may require additional volume or shaping via layering techniques to add body and volume.

Blunt Cut or Straight Lob

Opt for a blunt cut or straight lob with no layers for an easygoing and casual appearance. This style can be worn with bangs or left straight across your forehead for an attractive finish.

Selena Gomez’s Signature Look

To create a trendy yet feminine style like Selena Gomez’s signature look, pair your lob with a middle part and wavy hair for an effortlessly fashionable and classic finish. Your stylist can use a curling wand to gently bend strands around your face for an effortless and relaxed finish – ideal for parties!

Light Accents

If you want a face-framing style, ask your stylist to add light accents in front of your lob. This will draw the eyes and cheekbones forward, giving a youthful glow. Additionally, this style works great when worn with a center part – this way, it can look sleek and sophisticated or playful, depending on how it’s styled.

Subtle Color Gradients

An alternative way to highlight a lob is with subtle color gradients. This technique creates a natural, seamless look that’s simple to maintain while adding pops of color with the popular balayage hair technique.
