Long Bob or The Lob

The bob has long been an iconic hair cut for its ability to make a statement. Over time the look evolved to include a variety of takes on the style, and the cut that continues to stand the test of time is the lob or the long bob. No matter what length you’ve decided, there are plenty of hair products for bobs or the lob!

There is a learning curve that comes to styling short hair. Because there is naturally less weight than longer hairstyles, volume can be easier to achieve — but mastering the bob or lob is all about creating volume in the right places.

When styling the bob or the lob a.k.a the long bob, heat protection is a must. Before heat styling your hair, always layer your strands with HEATED.DEFENSE. This weightless foam treatment is nearly undetectable but will add all the protection you need to guard against heat damage from styling up to 232˚C / 450˚F.

If you’re creating a smooth finish for your bob or lob, after prepping with HEATED.DEFENSE, add body at the scalp with ANTI.GRAVITY or BODY.BUILDER. By creating body from the start, this will enhance movement in your style and create a more natural, lifted look. From here, layer EVER.SMOOTH and then blow dry. If you’re creating a super sleek look with a straightening iron, EVER.SMOOTH will ensure that the iron glides effortlessly over your strands for a smooth, shiny finish.

For a shimmering finish, spritz SHIMMER.SHINE or mix EASY.RIDER with YOUNG.AGAIN treatment oil and apply to your hair either before or after you blow dry. For added repair and heat protection, LEAVE-IN.REPAIR can be applied to damp hair and is ideal for all hair types to safeguard the health of your hair.

If you want more movement in your bob or lob, after blow drying with the above regimen, finish with DOO.OVER to add texture, volume and movement while also absorbing excess oil and product buildup for a style that lasts.
