Long Bob Hairstyles for Straight Hair
When you have straight hair, the kind of long bob you end up choosing should depend a lot on how thick or thin your hair is. With thinner straight hair, opt for lots of layers in order to increase the look of volume. On the other hand, if your hair is thick and straight you can rock any type of long bob that you like, since you’ll have volume naturally.
Long Bob Hairstyles for Thick Hair
Razoring is the magical technique that tames thick hair and takes off its weight without taking away from its wonderful natural volume. In particular, razoring from below can make you feel light and cool while avoiding frizz. If your hair is naturally straight, you can also rock a blunt bob, since the weight of the hair will keep it from getting frizzy, and the effect can be very striking.
Long Bob Hairstyles for Thin Hair
When you have thin hair, a more top-layered lob haircut can go a long way towards amping up your volume and making your hair appear denser. However, it’s more important to style the hair in a way that will make it appear more voluminous. Blowouts from below are great for volumizing, as are all kinds of waves. By parting your hair to the side you can also increase the amount of volume on top of the head. Lastly, texturizing sprays and volumizing conditioners are great for increasing the volume of your hair and making it look more piecey.
1. Beachy Long Bob
There is no beachier dye job than a blonde balayage, of course, since the darker roots add texture. When you have a long bob, whether longer than the shoulders or shorter, all it takes is styling it into waves to achieve this kind of breezy and summer-ready look.
2. Textured Golden Lob Haircut
A textured lob is an extremely modern haircut choice, like today’s answer to Rachel Green’s layered lob in Friends. The texture comes from piecey layering all throughout the long hair near the face. Styling it into waves makes it extra textured and makes the golden locks look very soft and lush.
3. Voluminous Curled Lob
Don’t be confused by the angle of the photo and styling here, as this is definitely a long bob hairstyle. The voluminous curls shorten it a bit, but styled more straight the hair will surely fall just below the shoulders. The extreme side part and styling prove that long bob haircuts can be extremely seductive.
4. Honey Swirl Long Bob Haircut
This is one of those simple long bob haircuts with hair that falls just a bit below the shoulders, and mostly cut evenly all across. Wavy styling gives it more volume and texture, as does the gentle honey balayage over light brown locks.
5. Gold-Touched Long Bob
A hint of balayaging can have a really big impact on long bob hairstyles. The chocolate brown hair was cut to be nearly parallel with the shoulders, and then styled into soft waves. The light gold touches give it a punch of brightness.
6. Razored Bronde Lob
This is one of those longer lob haircuts that might even reach long hair category if styled straight. The brown-blonde coloring is rich and sumptuous in a very flattering way. The hair is curled away from the face in a way that frames the features beautifully, and the ends were razored for maximum texture.
7. Pink and Violet Layered Lob
You can absolutely rock layers with long bob haircuts. The layers are both in the back and at the front to frame the features and lighten the load. This would look great with any color, but we’re big fans of these violet and pink hair colors.
