Unless you live under a rock, chances are you have heard the term “lob haircut” at some point during the last year. Lobs are definitely one of the biggest hair trends right now and I don’t see them going anywhere soon. So the question is: What exactly is a “lob”? … And what is the difference between a lob and regular bob haircut?
The name “lob” is a combination of the words “long” and “bob,” creating a unique word for a “long bob”. They are typically A-lined (longer in the front and shorter in the back) and have some slight layering. It is trendy to wear a lob with waves or curls but it also looks good straight.
The popularity of the lob stems from the fact that it is a shorter haircut, but allows you to still put your hair up… and if you decide in a month that you don’t like it, it will be a lot easier to grow out. Another benefit about the lob is that it is flattering on almost anyone.

Love A Lob♥️ Such a versatile haircut 💇
I have a very inverted bob.. As it is now, it’s grown out. So it’s almost a LOB. Dinna like it at all. I prefer shorter. To me.. This just looks like the way I would cut my hair when it was long. Cute styles.. But no Bob about it
I like to get my husband’s opinion. We make mutual decisions on most things because, as you said, it is 2016. He asks what haircut looks good for him; I do the same for myself. Automatically doing what we want and not consulting the other is a good way to make a marriage fail.
It is 2016, not 1950. Do what you want, not what your husband tells you to do. I did not know women still did that.
Love it, I have been debating on cutting my hair. I have always liked the longer in front, shorter in back but not wanting to go extreme of an a line or bob, (per my husband’s opinion) so the lob is a perfect meet in the middle. I have thin hair and I think the lob will be the perfect marriage of keeping length, gaining style, and my hair looking fuller. Love the Lob action! ?
Loved all of it. Very informative.
