9. The Long Bob with “Grow-Out” Layers
If you have a lob that has grown out, you have the perfect base for this style. “Grow-out” layers are long, blended, and seamless. They are the antithesis of the choppy shag. This cut is perfect for the “minimalist” who wants to wake up, brush their hair, and go. It’s elegant, professional, and provides just enough layering to keep the hair from feeling heavy or boxy.
How to Make
Have your stylist blend your existing length with long, soft layers that start near the collarbone. The goal is to make the layers so seamless that you can barely tell where the shorter hair ends and the long hair begins. To style, let your hair air-dry until it is 80% dry, then use a large round brush to smooth the ends for a polished, “I didn’t try too hard” look. Use a lightweight finishing oil to define the ends.
Things Needed
- Large round brush
- Lightweight finishing oil
- Professional haircutting scissors
- Blow-dryer
