The bob is a classic haircut that has been around since the 1920s and is actually absolutely timeless. The British star hairdresser Vidal Sasson brought this eye-catcher back to light in the 60s and it quickly became popular with many Hollywood stars. The bob is now available in different variations, including the long bob, which we will present in this article. A long bob is a hairstyle whose length ends somewhere between the base of the neck and the upper arm. The modern and feminine haircut, also known as “lob” for short, is not dependent on the shape of the face or the type and color of hair and is therefore an indispensable part of top hairstyles.
If there is one haircut that looks good on absolutely every woman, it is the lob. Regardless of whether your hair texture is thin, normal or thick, this trendy cut is suitable for you. The long bob is ideal for every face shape - for round and oval faces as well as for angular faces. The long bob can be cut straight, layered, fringed or asymmetrical. This ultimateHairstyle can be with or without bangscan be worn and styled as desired. For example, the haircut can be worn straight with thin hair and, in a layered version, is the optimal haircut for fine hair. The cut works best on fine hair, as was the case with actress Naomi Watts at the 71st Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills.
So that you can wear your lob in different styles with little effort, a layered haircut is the right hairstyle for you. Long bob that is heavily layered or with only slight layers emphasizes the face and looks very elegant. Jennifer Aniston's smoothed lob with a side part, for example, suits her perfectly. The darker hairline emphasizes your blonde hair. The tips are defined and narrow.
If you have curly hair, then you are probably wondering whether curls and lobs are a great combination. Clearly, they also fit together wonderfully. This cut can be worn either with straight roots and curls down the length or as a wild mane of curls. Curls look incredibly feminine. If you want your haircut to be more glamorous, then look with retro style curls is a suitable option for you.
The haircut, which tolerates gentle waves in the lower lengths, can also be worn completely straight. The lob can also be cut into the right shape without any effort. In this photo, Ciara is wearing her blonde lob with a deep side part and as you can see, all you need to do is push your hair behind your ear to make her hairstyle look perfect.
The cut must appear flattering, flowing and falling softly. Rosie Huntington Whiteley presents herself with a slightly wavy, shiny and voluminous long bob. The secret to voluminous lobs are the “invisible layers” in the cut, which take the weight without going through, and retain the length.
You can add additional volume to your hair with a little hair dryer. Hollywood star Jessica Alba also followed the hairstyle trend and wore her brown hair side-parted with a copper-colored twist in a voluminous look.
You can spice up your lob by paying special attention to the ends of your hair. In this photo, brunette Jennifer Lopez wears a layered haircut in a honey brown color with lighter highlights that reaches down to her shoulders. The defined tips give your long bob look a special finish.
Cara Delevingne's hairstyle looks uncomplicated and relaxed here. She presented her haircut for the first time at the global comic fair in San Diego. The ends of her blonde hair are parted on the side and the tips are popping out.
Do you want to refresh your hairstyle with waves? This is very easy. If you want to achieve light waves, you will need a larger round brush and a hairdryer. For stronger waves, you can use a curling iron. Kendall Jennar, for example, wears her long bob shoulder-length and with a slight wave structure. This cut goes perfectly with her dark brown and shiny hair.
A lob with waves looks elegant, feminine and at the same time natural. Victoria Beckham has ditched her long mane and opted for a long, slightly wavy bob with a side parting. She has chosen a soft dark brown tone for her hair.
Without much styling effort, any lob can look adorable, even the most casual one. Emilia Clarke sports a very casual side-parted haircut at the 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards this year. The slightly wavy hair is cleverly tucked behind her ear.
If you want to stand out, then the asymmetrical haircut is the right one for you. He is an absolute eye-catcher. This trendy cut is particularly characterized by the fact that there is a large difference in length on both sides or, as in this photo, between the front and the back of the head. The tips of this brown, straight hair are slightly turned inwards and reach to the upper arm at the front. This lob should be cut and maintained regularly and precisely. An asymmetrical cut shows character, looks good in any hair color and makes you unique.A pronounced A-line bobgoes particularly well for celebratory occasions.
If you like to experiment with your hair color, then feel free to go for the lob ombré look. Ombré hair with gentle transitions between two different colors is still a popular color trend for hair. At the Ombrandthe contrast between light and dark is clearly visible. For Miley Cyrus, for example, the color combination of brown and dark blonde looks very beautiful. The hair is darker on top than in the lengths. The bright elements don't necessarily have to be placed at the bottom of the tips; they look impressive higher up on the head. The great ombré look in combination with the soft waves gives Miley's long bob individuality.
The long bob hairstyle is incredibly versatile. The different hair colors always make the lob cut look different and unique. Jessica Chastain wears the classic lob with a longer front at the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology” on May 2, 2016 in New York City. This cut looks great with her straight, red hair and side parting.
If you want to wear a hairstyle with bangs, you can combine it with the lob. The haircut is perfect for round and angular faces and flatters them. In the photo, Jennifer Lawrence is wearing the layered cut at shoulder length. A few slightly curly strands add extra volume to your hairstyle. The lighter highlights give the bangs a casual lightness.
If you want to try a lob without bangs, then maybe give it a trywith a middle parting. That's exactly what Emily Blunt did, switching up her style with a chic dark bob at the premiere of "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" in London.
