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

#29: 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.
