We all laughed at a meme that showed “Hair I want” with a stylish short haircut and “What I also want” with long locks. Indeed, sometimes it is so hard to choose! And the long angled bob is the haircut most of us eventually land on. It has clean angles and a flattering shape and can be endlessly adapted with color, layers, or bangs. Here are top picks to consider for a chic look day in and day out.
1. Middle-Parted A-Line Lob
The longer length of this haircut compared to the classic bob cut allows for a smoother color gradient. The ashy dark blonde at the roots effortlessly transitions into creamy blondes and culminates with white blonde tips.
2. Tousled Side-Parted Lob
The deep chocolate brown shade of this gorgeous haircut brings to the fore the health of the hair. The strands are glossy and supple, giving off vivacious energy. This cut is slightly tousled as if the strands were windswept on the move. But we bet it would look equally stunning when styled smooth and sleek.
3. Inverted Lob with Side Bangs
When cut right, an inverted bob naturally falls into a rounded shape that complements the shape of your head. Enhance the shape a little bit by styling the ends of your cut inward. With long side bangs flaring out, this haircut gets a touch of dimension and movement.
4. Wavy Graduated Lob
Waves get a serious update with the flattering balayage! The gradual lightening effect of the ombre balayage creates a natural-looking transition that complements the waves. The lighter ends highlight the movement and texture of wavy hair.
5. Stacked Angled Bob
Get the best of both worlds with this dreamy haircut – the longer front strands that are so characteristic of an angled bob and a voluminous graduated back typical of stacked haircuts. With the soft bangs that round off the shape of the cut and dimensional pastel color, this hairstyle is streamlined and graceful.
6. Tousled Off-Centered Lob
If you thought long bobs were only fit for monochromatic looks, think again. This visionary blonde angled bob incorporates pastel highlights and lowlights in varying shades. Thanks to the tousled texture the play of light on the strands makes them even more dimensional and enigmatic.
7. Sleek Lob with Rounded Bangs
Tweaking your mundane hairstyle can be as easy as cutting bangs. Talk to your hairstylist to discuss the right type of bangs for your face shape, hair texture, and maintenance commitment. The voluminous curved out bangs flawlessly complement the sleek rounded shape of the hairstyle.
8. Sleek Asymmetrical Lob
The difference in length of the frontal pieces is what gives this hairstyle visual interest. When your hair naturally parts somewhat off-center, such asymmetrical styles will be simple to cut and style. This cut will be especially flattering for round or heart-shaped faces, creating pleasing angles and elongating the face.
9. Angled Lob for Fine Hair
The structured shape of a long bob can create the illusion of thickness for fine hair. Opt for subtle layers or blunt ends, depending on whether you want added movement or a thicker-looking baseline. Maintenance matters, too – fine hair can lose its shape quickly, so regular trims are essential.
10. Lob with a Bend Wave
No wonder so many A-list celebrities adopted the softness of bend waves – they exude a relaxed vibe without looking overly styled. To recreate the look, clamp the flat iron halfway down the section, twist your wrist to make a slight bend in the hair, and then move the iron down the strand to form an “S” shape.
