The lob: the best celebrity long bobs of 2019

While long hair is still adored by hoards of celebrities and clients alike, the trend for going shorter and shorter is picking up pace. With the Millennial mid length style popular with 20 somethings, if the celebrity zeitgeist is anything to go by clients will be opting for even more off this summer... A versatile, easy to style cut that suits all hair types, ages and face shapes, Philipp Haug is a huge fan of the look. The international artistic director for Toni & Guy and manager of the flagship academy in central London, picks his favourite celebrity lobs of the moment.

Kendall Jenner

Emma Stone

Cate Blanchett
