What is a long bob?
A long bob, also known as a lob, is a shoulder-length haircut. It is a longer version of the bob and is considered long if it is below the chin. This hairstyle has been around since the 1920s, though it briefly lost its popularity at the end of the decade, it returned later and has been on trend ever since. Many women prefer this hairstyle, because of its versatility. The interesting way in which the hair is shaped provides a beautiful look for you without even having to style your hair in any special way. If you have a long bob, or a lob, you can just roll out of bed and start singing “I woke up like this”!
