Long Bob Hairstyles
Lobs are beautiful in any texture – straight and sleek or wavy and messy. You can wear your lob as a downdo, or lift your locks up in a sort of updo or half-up hairstyle – so many options and there’s always a quick and easy styling method, depending on your hair type.

Long bob haircuts let you wear your hair down, up and half up while looking gorgeous, regardless of the style choice. The front pieces graze your shoulders, drawing attention to clavicles — one of the most sensual female body parts.
#2: Straight Ash-Blonde Lob
Here’s a good option to take note of if your tresses are a bit on a thinner side. A long bob haircut helps your locks gain a fuller appearance, while a darker base with ash-blonde highlights delivers extra dimension and makes your hair look more voluminous.

Let’s take a look at a more classical option. This sleek long bob features middle parting and sharp angles that make for an elegant, lady-like look. If you want your A-line lob to look so formal as this one, remember that it calls for a single hair shade.
