Let’s talk lobs! Although we love some long mermaid locks, we are seriously LUSTING over the lob hair trend! What is a ‘lob’ you might ask? We explain everything you need to know about the style, along with how to perfect it.
Lob Hair Trend
First thing’s first, what is a lob? It’s simply short for a long bob! Generally 3-4 inches long than your usual bob, the long bob sits anywhere between the collarbones, to above the bust. It’s perfect for those who want the chop, without being too drastic. And, the lob is also known as the hairstyle that suits literally everyone! We can definitely see why the lob hair trend is here to stay.
In terms of the specific cut, a lob is usually a little shorter at the back and cut to achieve plenty of texture. Not only is it super flattering, it looks awesome styled both sleek and straight, or textured and wavy!
How to Achieve the Perfect Lob
If you’re not going from long to short, it’s important to know how to get your lob on point! Although the lob is super textured, thin & wispy ends is definitely not ideal. Volume and thickness is KEY to achieve the PERFECT lob! And with a little help from hair extensions, it’s super easy to thicken up those ends. Yep that’s right! If you thought hair extensions need to be dramatic or super long, they’re also amazing for adding volume & thickness to short hair.
