What to tell your stylist

“I’d like a shoulder-length lob that I can style wavy. Please let the ends touch my shoulders, with the front slightly longer than the back. I want the volume balanced, and please don’t thin the ends too much.”

Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

Why choose it

  • A soft transition from long to short hair
  • Balances round and square faces
  • Easy to grow out

Keep in mind

  • Ends that touch the shoulders tend to flip out
  • Needs a styling product to hold the wave

About Wavy Lob

“Lob” stands for long bob. The ends touch the shoulders or stop just above them, and the front can be left slightly longer than the back. Waves make the ends look undone but intentional. Cut straight and styled wavy, it looks its most natural.

Because it ends below the chin, it lengthens a round face and softens a square jaw. On thick hair, light internal layers help balance the volume. For everyday styling, a sea salt spray or a wide curling iron takes a few minutes. If you decide to grow it out, it’s also one of the easiest short cuts to grow.

What’s the difference between a lob and a bob?

A bob usually ends at the chin. A lob reaches the shoulders, so it’s longer and more versatile. If you don’t feel ready for short hair, a lob is a great middle step. You can compare the Blunt Bob and Wavy Lob on the same photo.

Can I wear a wavy lob with straight hair?

Yes. The cut is the same on straight hair, and the wave comes from a curling iron or sea salt spray. Left naturally straight, you get a sleek long bob instead.
