Are you thinking of changing your hair in time for summer? There are so many styles that you can choose from, no wonder everyone needs a little hair inspiration. Many people tend to wait until they see a hairstyle they like before they book their hair appointment. We think the hairstyle of the year, (or should I say years) is a gorgeous hairstyle to choose. It goes by the name lob. Which is in other words, is a long bob. You can style the lob however you like. Wavy, curls, straight, up-do, half up half down style, sleek or messy. Just because you have a long bob, doesn’t stop all the styling options you can have. You still have the security of tying your hair back.
We have come up with 21 cure lob haircuts for you to think about.
1. ANGLED LONG BOB WITH LAYERS

We would recommend it! Opting for a classic lob and having bangs, looks timeless and stylish. If it is the first time you are having bangs and are nervous, try having longer bangs just in case you still want to tie your hair back. You can have the best of both worlds with this hairstyle. Bangs will show off your eyes and you can always style it in so many different ways. If you fancy having your bangs off your face, try clipping it back with bobby pins. If you style your hair differently every other day or so, you won’t get bored of your hairstyle.
10. CURLY, TEXTURED LOB WITH BALAYAGE HIGHLIGHTS
Adding curls will boost your locks.

Adding waves to a lob from the middle down is a quick and simple way to create a gorgeous look. If you are using hair straighteners, which are what most hairdressers will use, it is so easy. Yes, I did say hair straighteners and not curlers, if you haven’t tried it, you’ll be surprised how stunning the waves are when using these. They don’t just straighten your hair, try it and see.

14. TEXTURED, HONEY BLONDE LOB
When having a longer bob hairstyle, going for a lighter shade is better to manage than to have longer hair.

The first thing you notice with this hairstyle is the colour. The colour makes the haircut stand out. The honey, blonde shades look stunning. The textured layers add the bounce to the hair to give the hair life. This colour can be topped up every month or so but if you were to leave it, it will still look amazing. This colour and hairstyle is so versatile.
15. CHOPPY, ANGLED LOB
You can wear your lob up or down but we love this hairstyle down…
