Here are this year’s most popular long angled bob hairstyles and haircuts to inspire you!
#1: Long Curly Angled Bob
This long angled bob for curly hair is utilizing her natural curls. My favorite thing about this long-angled curly bob is its versatility. Having the nape shorter on a lob allows the natural curl to be released and create volume. You have to be okay with the fact that you might not be able to pull this bob up completely in a ponytail. Also, you will need some product to either enhance your texture or smooth out any unruliness.
#2: Angled Extra Long Bob
If you have long hair, angled bob cuts are the perfect option.
Go for an extra long angled bob with wavy hair so you don’t get short hair regret.
#3: Angled Lob with Blonde Balayage
If you love sharp styles, try an angled lob with a blonde balayage. An angled lob is graduated in the back which creates the perfect line. It’s important that the center nape is the shortest point, getting longer as you move toward the front. You’ll want to avoid over-layering the crown if you like a strong perimeter. The long layers are the perfect canvas for a balayage and will show it off beautifully.
#4: Angled Lob with Waves
An angled wavy lob can be a great cut for any age and any face shape! A moderate effort will be required in styling a lob. Use a blowdryer and a Denman or flat brush against the curve of the head to create natural volume. Add beach waves for more movement by leaving the ends out while curling. Finish with a texture spray or light hairspray.
#5: Long Inverted Angled Bob
If you want a dramatic change, try a long inverted angled bob. The medium blunt cut with a shorter back is the perfect shape for an amazing visual and allows you to keep some length. Keep in mind the blunt line needs to be right above the shoulders so it does not flip out. Blow-dry this style with some smoothing cream and a large round brush. A flat iron can be used for stubborn waves.
