The “Lob,” meaning a long bob, is just that – a longer version of the bob hairstyle. While some cuts are better suited for specific face shapes, The Lob haircut is one of those “one size fits all” sent-from-heaven haircuts that truly works on just about anyone.
The best Lobs are slightly choppy and just grace the top of the shoulder. They’re easy to style, look great straight or wavy, and compliment any wardrobe or occasion.
One of our favorite ways to rock a Lob? Curly and messy, compliments of AG Hair. Spray Curl Trigger liberally on damp hair, then roughly blow dry using your fingers to shake out and scrunch up your hair as you go. Once dry, spray all over with Texture Spray concentrating on your ends to add messy definition.
