Inspiring Long Bob Haircuts
With 50 long bobs to choose from, there is a huge range of lengths, angles, and finishes to pick through.
1. Lob with Straight Side Bangs
Feeling over parting your hair in the middle? When you choose a long bob, make sure your stylist cuts in a side bang to switch up your face dimension. Wear it straight to get a chic, sleek hairstyle.
2. Layered Lob with Bangs
One of the easiest ways to add framing to your long bob is with bangs. Wear them short so they come just to the eyebrows and straighten them to emphasize layering and angled cuts. For a subtler change, vary the part or tuck one side behind the ear to show the outline.
3. Long Braided Bob
Looking for that perfect protective, trendy hairstyle? Your black hair will love being worn in a box-braided long bob.
Make face-framing layers more noticeable with colorful beaded ends or hair wrapping in contrasting colors like purple and pink.
4. Platinum Lobs with Curtain or Micro Bangs
Women love feeling feminine and flirty, and we love a haircut that can make us feel that way even more! Get that feeling easily with platinum hair color on a long bob worn wavy with long curtain bangs or straight with super short bangs. The same lob shape can also carry warmer highlights, an ombre transition or a vivid colour accent.
5. Straight Angled Lob
If you have an oval or round face, a sleek, straight angled bob is ideal for you. With minimal styling requiring only a center part, your luscious locks will be ready for the day in no time.
6. Thick Stacked Lob
For hair that is fine or thin, go with a stacked lob. The angled cut not only thins out a round face shape, but also thickens up thin and fine hair when teased at the crown.
7. Side-Parted Asymmetrical Lob

8. Wavy A-Line Lobs with Blonde or Auburn Ribbons
If you love playing with hair color and want to show it off, a long A-line bob will do just that! Add light red and brown to black hair or light blonde to dark blonde hair. Then add lots of waves and watch heads turn!
9. Curly Lobs with Full Bangs or Side Part
