The lob (or long bob, if you're unfamiliar) is a phenomenal short hairstyle, especially if you want to cut your hair but need something less extreme than a pixie cut. A lob haircut can look drastically different depending on your hair texture, curl pattern, and face shape, but because there's so much variety in the types of cuts that are out there, you can more than easily find a lob that works for you. It's generally accepted that a lob can be as long as roughly shoulder-length and as short as just below the chin, and one of my favorite hacks is to look for someone who looks roughly like me to see what the hairstyle looks like on them. Luckily for you, celebrities are constantly experimenting with hair colors and cuts, and there are plenty of a-list lob-lovers to inspire you this spring.
The thing about lobs: styling should be relatively easy. But it's worth repeating that many of these stars have resources at their disposal to make these looks feel like work, including extensions and other types of synthetic hair if they need to add volume, glam teams, and more. Thankfully, a talented hairstylist can help you identify the right cut (and styling) for your unique hair type and texture, even if you're not a member of the Hollywood set. If you, like me, are in the Big Apple, there are plenty of incredibly talented hair artists right within our reach.
