A longer bob with a clear side part and a relatively continuous lower edge. The part changes the balance around the face, while the shoulder-length outline separates it from the shorter French bob in this collection.
Look for these features
- A clearly visible side part
- A clean longer-bob perimeter
- Subtle inward shaping through the ends
A brief to discuss at the salon
I like the side part and the fairly solid lower edge. Can we agree where the ends should sit at the shoulders, how they would behave against clothing, and how much layering to keep inside the cut?
Styling options to compare
Choose products for the finish you want after discussing the cut.
Shape the fringe or ends
Compare blow-dry brushes by barrel size and your hair length. Check the exact model’s instructions and local electrical specification.

Before choosing this cut
Use the shoulder and neck as length landmarks. The word lob does not specify one exact measurement, so point to the intended line. Compare the result with your usual part rather than assuming that moving a part will hold the same shape on every head of hair.
Match the styling choice to the cut
If you want the soft curve shown at the ends, consider what your existing brush and dryer can already do. A blow-dry brush is one possible product category, not a requirement. Check barrel size, handling and the exact instructions for the tool rather than choosing by a finish photograph alone.
A reference helps explain shape, length and finish. Your own density, strand thickness, texture and growth pattern affect the conversation. Agree on the actual length landmarks and the routine you want to maintain before cutting.
