#2: Textured Angled Lob with an Off Center Part

After putting the product, shake your hair out and shape it with your hands and a comb as you prefer.

For an even edgier finish, apply some pomade or wax through the mid-lengths and ends. Then tousle them using your fingers to really show off the texture.
#12: Tousled Gray Hair with a Center Part

#18: Fresh Chestnut Brown Long Bob
If you have chestnut brown hair, consider a fresh take with a long bob. An important thing to remember is that the thicker the hair, the more texturizing the style will need. After layering, use a razor to etch out weight by taking 2-inch-wide sections of hair and running the razor through the midshaft to the ends.

It’s important to understand the disadvantage of going darker at the roots than your natural hair color. Doing so will create a line of demarcation as your hair grows out, and you’ll need to make more trips to the hair salon for a quick root touch-up.

#27: Layered Lob Cut for Fine Hair
Women with thinner strands should try a layered lob cut for fine hair. In general, a textured lob for fine hair is best on skinny strands because shorter lengths will actually make the hair look and feel fuller.

A textured lob is a longer version of a bob cut with layers for added body and volume. The length varies, which could be grazing the neck, shoulders, or collarbone.
Stylist Olga Karacheban of Salem, Oregon loves a long bob haircut, especially the messier one. “This bob style is meant to be a tousled imperfect look,” she points out.
A textured haircut is perfect for women with natural waves. It’s also ideal for those who love wearing a messy beachy wave, done with a curling or flat iron.
The challenge is making sure that the back lays right. It’ll take more practice on using your heat tools. But since this style can look messy and undone, don’t worry about perfection too much.
Surprisingly, this chop complements shorter heights. Karacheban explains, “Having a lob concentrates the focus on your face’s length that gives you an appearance of being taller.”
It’s paramount that you consult your stylist to understand your hair type. They can figure out how much texture your locks will need.
Karacheban states, “Super fine hair can look fuller when cut shorter. But with a thicker mane, a lot of bulk has to be removed to give you a lightweight feel and add flow to the strands.”
