12. Blunt Lob
The ultimate power bob, this one-length cut exudes confidence. The blunt ends create the illusion of thicker hair, while the slight inward curl at the ends softens the jawline. Pro tip: Request “hidden layers” underneath to reduce bulk for fine-haired wearers.

13. Wavy Balayage Ombré Lob
Beachy meets bold in this look, where face-framing blonde pieces pop against darker midsections. The waves are looser at the crown and tighter at the ends for a “lived-in” effect. Color trick: Concentrate the lightest pieces around the face to brighten your complexion.

14. Lob with Side Bangs
Side-swept bangs soften this lob, making it ideal for heart-shaped or long faces. The longer length (just below chin) balances the shorter fringe. Maintenance note: Dry shampoo is a must to keep bangs fresh between washes.

15. Choppy Lob
Textured and youthful, this cut uses uneven layers to create volume at the crown. The piece-y ends add edge without looking messy. Styling hack: Twist random sections and pin them up for a half-up style that shows off the layers.
