Hair trends
come and go, but there’s one in particular this season that seems to stand out:
the lob. I know, I know…what, exactly, is a lob? A “lob” is short for
“long bob”- A long, shaggy layered, collarbone length cut that fits virtually
every face shape, hair texture, and color. Its versatility makes it a popular
choice for anyone looking to change up their ‘do. Celebs like Jennifer
Lawrence, Selena Gomez, T-Swift, and Alexa Chung have all been rocking the look
this year, and for good reason. It’s put together while simultaneously seeming
effortless, and brings a chic feel to any look.
The great
thing about this cut is that you can go 2 to 3 days without washing your hair
because it’s so convenient to style. You can transition from straight, to
wavy, to half up with ease- add a little dry shampoo in there and consider
yourself good to go. Here are four ways that you can style the “lob”:
SLEEK AND STRAIGHT
Easy enough,
right? Just flat iron out any wave or curl in your hair to achieve this smooth
look. We chose a side part, but a middle part looks great as well…this style
can easily transition from night or day with little-to-no touch ups in between.
HALF-UP HIGH
PONY
This look
works on Day 1 or even Day 3 hair. Take the style from #1, gather half of your
hair up into a ponytail at the crown of your head, pull hair slightly from the
roots to add some volume on top, and voila! For a more dramatic, night-out
look, you can use more hair for the ponytail (think Ariana Grande). Add some
smoothing serum on the ends if they feel dry from the day before.
Keep styling
