Also called LOB (long bob) on the other side of the Atlantic, this hairstyle offers a perfect style to those who will adopt it. Dynamic and chic, the long bob could win the palme d’or for the hairstyle that is the easiest to adopt and wear. Slightly plunging (it’s almost invisible to the naked eye for non-professionals), the locks that frame the face are longer to give balance and a perfect illusion by falling just below the shoulders. Thanks to its length, it softens the features of marked faces and breaks the angular side of square or triangular faces without appearing flat and heavy. What about a round face? Perfect too, we tell you! Its lengths subtly lengthen the face by erasing curves. Among many cuts, it is also the best ally for fine hair because it gives an impression of volume and substance. Very pretty on smooth, it is particularly advantageous on curly brown hair or with aerial waves. Another advantage and not the least, unlike the classic bob, the lob is long enough to continue to tie the hair and play with the hairstyles and change your look according to moods and ideas.
