And a Lob has an advantage over this season’s short bob. It is a very easy – maintenance hairstyle since it does not lose its shape even if it grows two or three inches from its original cut. It therefore does not necessitate a hair trim every so often. A short bob requires a re-shaping or trim every now and then to preserve the shape and style.

A Lob is also a hairstyle that is flattering to almost all face shape. The longish look elongates a round face, and hides an angular jaw of square faced women. For women with long narrow faces, the Lob can still work for them by having the ends slightly curved by a hair straightener. But the lob is most complimentary to an oval face.
