A lob or long bob is a form of haircut and a variant of bob cut. The lob is cut just above the shoulders, at shoulder level or just below. The lob, or long bob, has been hailed as one of the best haircuts of all time because it’s absolutely no fail. There’s a lob to flatter every face shape and hair type, including thin hair. That’s right—lobs aren’t reserved for thicker hair. In fact, it’s one of the ideal lengths for thin hair.
What Are Long Bob Types?
Long bob can be sleek, wavy or curly, it can vary in the length, it may be sleek, shaggy or layered, you may go for a classic blunt or an angled long bob and there are several types of bangs to personalize each haircut you choose, in this roundup we will show you all of them.
What Are Long Bob Advantages?
There are many reasons for long bob popularity. The lob makes all hair look thick and healthy. Also, the strong lines draw attention to bone structure and help frame the face. As the length is maintained around the face, Fugate says it also creates a silhouette that flatters all face shapes. Plus, that length makes for a versatile range of styling options. The lob is one of those haircuts that can be tailored to flatter you and your face shape. The lob can be cut individually for each person, from a blunt and one-length version to a layered with messy bangs or an asymmetrical textured one.

What Long Bob To Choose?
How to understand what lob and what length you need? Pay attention to how low your neckline is. To determine the right bob length for you, look at the front and the back of your neckline. The lower your neckline is in the back, the longer your bob haircut will need to be. Talk with your hairstylist about adding layers to avoid ending up with a triangular bob shape. You’ll want to do how much layering should happen depending upon your hair density as well as face shape. Layering throughout the hair can help alleviate the difficulties of thin/fine hair as well as thick hair. Adding layers around the face can help balance out round and long/oblong faces.

What Bangs To Rock With A Long Bob?
