The lob is going nowhere for 2014, so make sure you're up to date with the latest celebrity long bob haircuts to inspire your clients for the Autumn/Winter season.
"Longer, looser, and hipper than your classic bob, this season’s most sought-after style is taking the celebrity crowd by storm," says Joico international artistic director, Damien Carney. "It’s all about having a slightly undone, beachy, youthful vibe."
What is it?
"The Lob, quite simply, is a longer bob. Unlike its predecessor—which can have an overcoiffed, school-mum look—this lengthier, looser version grazes the shoulders and has an undone, sexy feel."
What hair type does it suit?
"It's perfect for most hair textures but we think it’s especially ideal for those who have some natural movement and wave. If your locks are poker-straight, consider adding a few bends with a curling iron; as well as some volume with a texture product like Joico Texture Boost Dry Spray Wax or Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo.
What about face shape?
"The cut works with different face shapes. If your face is mid-length, you’re golden. But those with longer faces can benefit from adding a fringe to counterbalance the look.
How should I style it?
"It's easy to style. In fact, the danger with the Lob is OVER-styling, which can give the cut an unnecessarily conservative look. Instead, use a bit of product, use your fingers and use the blowdryer to find that perfect happy medium. Or, should we say, imperfect happy medium."
