The blonde lob is a great hairstyle for naturally straight hair. If your hair is quite flat, you may want a lot of layers throughout.

Try to practice a good blowout to add more movement and smoothing to your hair.

You’ll look attractive with the long bang draping backward off your face.

#25: Dark Blonde Lob with Wispy Ends

A dark blonde lob with wispy ends will be the ideal hairstyle for you if your hair is fine to medium. Ask your colorist what is the best shampoo to use to achieve maximum longevity of the color.
