Black Lob Hairstyles to Get Inspired
Though bushy African American hair may seem too whimsical for a lob haircut, there is a plethora of ways to pack it into this trendy style. In fact, you can use sew-ins or opt for relaxed hair, but also you’re free to wear it all natural. “If you’ve got super tight curls, ask for a dry cut so your stylist can see the shape they’re cutting in. If you’ve got loose waves, a wet cut works fine,” recommends Jen Atkin, acclaimed lob queen among celeb stylists, in her comments to Elle. Here is how you can rock a lob, having straight, frizzy or wavy hair.

10 Best Long Bob Styling Ideas to Perk Up
Still in doubt? “If you’ve been thinking about getting a lob, I would say go for it. The lob isn’t one of those drastic cuts that’s going to leave you in tears a week after your salon appointment,” wrote celebrity hair guru Mark Townsend in his article for Byrdie. We can’t but agree with the pro, yet have a few words to add. The longer version of the time-honored bob offers an abundance of space for experimenting with styling. On this medium length, both laid-back beach waves and chic Hollywood curls look equally stunning, though so dramatically different – and you can have the best of two worlds! Besides, it’s hardly possible to find another hairstyle, which is so advantageous for displaying ombre, highlights and all kinds of trendy color solutions. Let’s see how to put it all together.
