Lob or Long Bob cut: how it is done and who is it good for
The lob, also called long bob, is a hairstyle that represents the longer version of the classic bob. It is part of the medium cuts and is a refined and elegant look that, from the past to today, has always remained fashionable.
In this article we explain how the long bob is made, what are the different variants of the lob haircut and who is good for this hair look based on the different types of face. We also show you tons of images and ideas to inspire you.
LONG BOB CUT OR LOB CUT: MEANING
What does "long bob" mean? The translation of these terms into English is "long bob". What does Lob mean? The meaning of the acronym "Lob" is "Long Bob" because the term comes from the union of the two words: Long + Bob. As the name implies, the long bob is the long variant of the classic bob. The hair reaches a length that can vary from just above the shoulders to slightly below them.
LONG BOB 2020: FROM THE PAST TO TODAY
In the 1920s, many women opted for the bob, following the example of the icon Irene Castle . Towards the end of the decade there was a turnaround, which saw this type of cut lengthen to medium. The lob was put aside during the Second World War and then returned brilliantly around the 1960s . It has never stopped being in fashion since then . Many stars, actresses, models, singers and celebrities have decided to choose the long bob haircut.
Kim Kardashian , Katy Perry, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Cameron Diaz are just a few examples of divas who have chosen the lob cut. This elegant and versatile cut can take on different shapes, folds and volumes. It is one of the few haircuts that can be easily worn by everyone and this has made it one of the most exploited haircuts of recent years.
LONG BOB CUT AND HAIR TOPOLOGIES
The long bob cut lends itself to being made on all types of hair that are wavy, curly or straight. However, there are some tricks to follow to best enhance the look. For those with thin hair the wavy bob version is particularly suitable because it allows you to give more volume to the hair. Those with little hair should also combine the waves with lightening, streaks or balayage that give a multidimensional effect. On very curly hair and afro hair, a long layered bob is betterto sculpt the cut and not exceed in width. Below we present all the variants of the Lob cut and how to wear the long bob according to the different somatic characteristics.
LONG BOB MOVED
The wavy long bob is undoubtedly the favorite cut of celebrities from all over the world. Elegant and refined, it features soft waves . How to do a wavy long bob or a wavy long bob? Just use a curling iron or a straightener or large diameter curlers and then leave the hair loose. You can opt for a central linethat helps to divide the locks in the most harmonious way or a side line for a more feminine wavy lob. Symmetrical or asymmetrical, moved with fringe or without it does not matter, it remains absolutely among the most beautiful cuts of the last!

LONG BOB CURLY
Definitely more jaunty, the long bob curly hair cut immediately gives a more youthful touch to the look. The shorter curly lob just on the shoulders is suitable for those with a regular face , perhaps with a small nose and less marked features. If instead the lines of our face are more rounded, better a short asymmetrical long bob seen from behind and longer in front and maybe we add some copper or blonde shades to create refined contrasts. Don't we have natural curls? Here's our in-depth look at how to do curly hair with tons of super easy tutorials to follow!
LONG BOB CLIMBED
The scaled lob cut is suitable for those who want greater volume and movement , or simply prefer maximum control of the hair, especially if particularly thick. Perfect as a type of long bob for fine hair because it avoids making it look thin and flat. The final effect is really interesting as the scaling creates soft waves in a natural way and a pleasant play of light and shadow when combined with a multi-faceted coloring . To cut a perfect layered long bob, you need expert hands of hair stylists or hairdressers! Suitable for those who want a long bob revisited in a modern and very rock way. For inspiration, look at the beautiful onestrendy scaled cuts .
LONG BOB SMOOTH
The lob cut with straight hair is certainly the most elegant and chic of the different types. Lots of actresses who show off the long bob lob with central split to give a bon ton accent to the look. If we have a round face , let's remember to prefer a medium scaled long bob that helps us to smooth the lines and to show off a very lateral line that will make the jaw line appear sweeter. A very interesting trend is that of the gray lob haircut , perfect for enhancing the fair complexionwith cold undertones. Whether we press our natural color or a tint, we add some contrast in shades of black or white to give dimension to the hair in style. How to get such a fold? The classic combo round brush and hairdryer and later straightener remains the favorite of hairdressers and hair stylists.
LONG BOB WITH FRINGE
The bangs are the ideal expedient to hide the broad forehead but also to make the hair less voluminous. If we have a face with soft lines, we avoid the puffy even-sized bangs, preferring instead a curtain that goes very well with a long bob . We avoid the short bangs in combination with the long bob because it creates too sharp a detachment. Instead, we prefer a side or stepped fringe to give a more lively touch to the look. Let us also remember that the fringe helps to hide wrinkles on the forehead, which is why we often find it to complete the most beautiful haircuts over 50 and 60!
WAVY LOB
In tema di look freschi e raffinati allo stesso tempo, il lob capelli ondulati dona davvero a ogni viso ed è ideale per tutte le età, dalle bambine alle donne mature. In estate possiamo puntare sul bellissimo effetto beach weaves anche se non abbiamo capelli mossi di base utilizzando una piastra arricciacapelli o un prodotto per lo styling adatto. Ma esistono tantissimi metodi senza calore per ottenere onde naturali molto belle. Inoltre, questo tipo di haicut con le sue onde vivaci mette particolarmente in risalto le sfumature dei capelli tinti, dal ramato al long bob castano con rifletti biondi fino ai capelli rossi, come stiamo per vedere.
LONG BOB BLOND AND BROWN
The haircuts with blonde and brown hair remain a must for those who love to show off a natural and hyper feminine allure. We can reward elegant blonde shades to be obtained with the chatouche technique or prefer blonde reflections on the front strands that give brightness to the complexion. Meches , ombré and lightening remain the most popular expedients to give movement and size to the hair with style, but also to cover gray hair.
LONG BOB ASYMMETRIC CUT
The asymmetry determines an avant-garde concept of the lob . The medium-length hairstyle in fact provides a side line accompanied by a longer tuft than the opposite side of the head. Moved or smooth no matter, the tendency sees the long bob like a functional haircut perfectly fit the wearer that you can easily manage and modify to suit your needs, just during the fold . How to dry an asymmetrical lob? How to style the long front long bob? Straightener, curling iron, comb and styling productsthey are essential. To bring out the asymmetry of the smooth look it is essential to use a straightener. For a wavy look it is useful to dry the hair upside down and use a diffuser to give volume to the hair. Find out in this article how to give beautiful volume to hair.
LONG BOB EQUAL
The symmetrical long bob , exactly the one worn for example by Uma Thurman , sees its maximum expression in the perfect smooth and central line. This crease looks good on a regular face or heart-shaped face while it doesn't enhance an elongated face. How to style a symmetrical long bob? The lengths are brought inwards during the fold with the help of a round brush if you want to create a sober and elegant hairstyle . The more modern look includes a super smooth straight long bob or the wavy lob hair version like the one proposed by Kimberley Walsh with ombre hair .
FAUX BOB
The Faux Bob is not a cut but rather an ideal hairstyle for those who want to experiment with the bob without having to cut their hair thus giving up their own lengths. To create it, it is first necessary to make the hair move using a curling iron : once the fold has been made, proceed by tying the hair with an elastic almost at the end of the lengths. At this point, the soft tail is wrapped around itself inwards until it forms a sort of cylinder that will be pinned to the nape of the neck through the hairpins . In this way we will perfectly simulate the long bob cut without necessarily having to make a cut. Below you can see the photo tutorial to create this DIY long bob hairstyle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE LOB CUT
Just like the classic bob or carré, even the long bob does not require particular care and maintenance unless we want to keep the length unchanged . Since this is a haircut that lends itself well to taking on a slightly disheveled or soft appearance , the retouching linked to the cut is essential when there is the need to shorten the hair. Or eliminate split ends or in the case of long bob with fringe, fringe or side tuft. To find out how this is done or how you can shorten lengths yourself , check out our article on how to cut hair .
WHO IS GOOD WITH THE LOB CUT
Who is the long bob good for? It depends on how it is made, worn and styled. Let's see all the cases.
The long bob cut in the wavy and soft version softens and harmonizes the features to perfection so it looks good on an oval face, a triangular face or even an elongated and square face .
The scaled lob and the smooth asymmetrical lob instead give those who have a round face and want to make it visually more oval.
The long bob combined with a fringe hides an important forehead and is good for those with a long face .
A very long messy lob, which reaches just below the shoulders, softens the features of a triangular face or a square face with too angular features.
The long bob can be chosen by young girls but also mature women, over 40 or over 50 and over 60 . It is practically ageless!
As for hair color, as you have seen in the images of this post, the lob is beautiful on blondes, brunettes and even reds. To give a volume effect and especially enhance wavy or wavy hair, it is an excellent idea to opt for the long bob with shatush , degrade, ombrè, with highlights or balayage.
In short, each of us can find in the long bob, with its many variations, the ideal haircut ! And do you like it? Let us know what you think!
