Hot Taupic: Lobs

What do you get when you give a "Bob" hairstyle a little more length than it's used to? A Lob (long Bob hairstyle)! This hairstyle has taken over the spring season and is said to continue its fame throughout the summer season as well. I personally love this style since I've always seen "Bobs" as being a little too short for comfort. Its the perfect cut that allows you to still curl your hair without turning into Shirley Temple. It also gives you the option of going long and sleek if you straighten it. In my book it's a win-win! Several celebrities have taken on the trend and added a unique personal touch to make it their own. I've put together a couple of photos to give you ladies a little Lob inspiration since their are so many different approaches to it!

#1: Straight Lob

#2: Wavy Lob

#3: Lob with Choppy Front Bangs

#4: Partially slicked back Lob

#5: Tousled, Voluminous Lob

These are just a few examples of how celebrities took the Lob trend and made it into their own fashion statement. A key point to keep in mind when selecting which one is best for you is the shape of you face. Also it's crucial to consider the type of hair you have before cutting it too short. If you have naturally straighter hair then feel free to chop, chop, chop. However if you have naturally curly/frizzy/course hair, cutting it too short could add some serious volume. Once you've found a style you like, consult with your hairdresser as she'll know more on what's best in the long run for you!
