Classic Lob with Bangs

This shoulder-length cut is what we call a "lob" or long bob. What makes this style absolutely stunning is how the soft, straight-across bangs frame the face like a picture frame. The hair falls just past the shoulders with subtle layers that give it movement without being too choppy.
This cut works great on straight to slightly wavy hair, and the best part? It's low-maintenance but looks incredibly neat. The length gives you so many styling options. You can wear it sleek and straight for a sophisticated office look, add some loose waves for a date night, or even pull it back into a chic low ponytail when you're running errands.
The bangs are cut with just enough weight to lay beautifully but not so heavy that they feel overwhelming. They're perfect for hiding any forehead imperfections while highlighting your eyes.
When it comes to maintenance, you'll want to trim the bangs every three to four weeks to keep them looking fresh, and the overall cut can go about eight to ten weeks between hair salon appointments. The beauty of this style is that it grows out gracefully. As it gets longer, you're just moving toward a longer lob, which is equally gorgeous!
For styling, a good heat protectant and a paddle brush are your best friends. You can air-dry it for a natural look or give it a quick blow-dry with a round brush for extra smoothness and shine. Add a light-hold hairspray to keep the bangs in place all day.
It's the kind of hairstyle that works whether you're heading to a business meeting, a casual brunch with friends, or even a fancy dinner. It's that versatile and timeless!
The color shown here, a rich, warm brown, is perfect for this cut because it really shows off the precision and allows you to see every beautiful line.
