#1 What Is a Lob?
You might be wondering what this strange word means and how it pertains to hairstyles. The lob we’re talking about is a combination of two words: “long” and “bob.” It’s basically a long bob haircut. It’s not too long and it’s not too short—the lob is the Goldilocks of haircutting.
#2 How Long Is a Lob Haircut?
A lob generally falls between the chin and collarbone, though I’ve cut longer versions past the shoulders. It can have an A-line shape, shorter in the back and longer in the front, or it can be cut straight across. The idea is to keep the shape of a bob with more length than a traditional short bob.
#3 Can Anyone Wear a Lob Hairstyle?
A lob can work with many face shapes and hair textures. The trick is choosing the right length and shape for you. There are plenty of variations: a layered lob, a square or A-line lob, or a shaggy lob with more movement.
Now that you have the basic idea of what a lob is, you can book a haircut at Headbetter and we’ll talk about your specific hair goals. I now work in Encino, near Sherman Oaks.
A lob can be easy to wear, but a precision lob takes skill to cut. The angles, balance, and way your hair falls all matter. My Vidal Sassoon training gives me the foundation to work with those details and tailor the haircut to you.
