The lob is the perfect in-between option if you want to sport a new look, but aren’t quite ready to commit to a shorter, choppy bob.
It sits on the collarbone or skims the shoulder. The hair is usually kept longer in front, with more layering in the back, giving a subtle, heavier effect through the back.
That said, not all lobs were created equal – there are a variety of styles you can get.
Here, we rounded up some of the best celeb-approved medium haircuts to try right now.

lob
Ann Hsu: Voluminous side-swept

This hairstyle with just a few choppy layers but it is oh-so-cool and sophisticated. By parting the hair off to one side, the front acts like side-swept bangs to create the illusion of volume in the front section of hair, even though they are nearly all the same length.
Yoona: Old Hollywood glam waves

To keep things breezy and prevent the style from looking too stiff, avoid over-combing or applying stiff hairspray as you will lose the movement in the cut.
Alyssa Chia: French girl scarf

Messy hair, don’t care! Throw in a vibrant scarf to second-day tresses for a bonus pop of colour. Did we also mention this easy ‘do will give you some extra snooze time in the AM?
Kuo Hsueh Fu: On the fringe

Eyebrow skimming wispy bangs will slim round faces and soften sharper face shapes. Product in the bang area tends to weigh them down and they get oily faster so if you’re trying to add volume and lift to your bangs, work with clean bangs.
Xin Zhilei: Shaggy bob

You will get and edgier look if you ask your stylist to thin out the ends of your hair with shears or a razor. To get your lob to be poker-straight, you want to prep your with a nourishing hair mask to boost shine, before you blast it with your hairdryer, using a downward motion.
Jolin Tsai: Tousled curls

The modern way to wear a lob is to make it look as undone and as effortless as possible, like the tousled look made famous by Jolin Tsai. Put slightly damp hair into large braids for a couple of hours. Take your braids out and run your fingers through your hair.
Vivian Hsu: The middle part

Give your lob hairstyle a polished look with a classic and on-trend middle parting like singer Vivian Hsu. The sleek split evokes that “off-duty” model appeal. To locate your middle part, use the tip of your nose as a centering point and place your finger on it.
