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.

Hi is the lob undercut like the blunt bob?
Which would be better of a haircut style for women who has thick hair? Cause i dont want my hair to be puffy once i do get my hair cut. Im thinking Either the a-line graduated hair cut or the lob?
If you have super thick hair that puffs out, I would stay away from graduation or chunky layers. A lob would probably look really good, especially if you have the ends textured. Of course, it’s hard for me to say for sure without seeing your hair, but I would definitely talk to your stylist about options 🙂

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.
Yes, sone woman like to please their husbands and look Nice for them.
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.
Love, love, love the bob, i had my frizzy, wavy waist length hair cut into a very A-line graduated bob 12 years ago and have had bobs in all their varieties ever since. Not so happy with the lob tho it looks amazing on straighter hair. I need more graduation at the back or it just looks like a thatch. Please talk more about suitable bobs for difficult hair like mine
Thank you for the suggestion! I am planning on writing more versatile posts for different hair types in the near future. 🙂
