1. Tousled Lob with Messy Bangs

A bold color? Check! An edgy cut? Check! There’s so much to love about sophisticated colors as they’re eye-catching and modern. While the layered cut and the tousled styling enhance naturally wavy or curly textures.

2. Bob with Flowy Side Bangs

The thing that stands out about this light and airy look is the color: highlights rooted in your natural color (especially when they are blond and brown) are pretty and ultra-modern. Wearing a lob with bangs is almost definitely a way to get noticed. However, a lob with long side bangs is a guarantee.

3. Voluminous Blonde Lob

If your hair is not naturally voluminous, a guaranteed way to achieve volume is with a stacked bob, but that’s not the only way. A long bob haircut with bangs and choppy layers can also create a more full-bodied appearance, especially if it’s styled in sweeping layers and slightly tousled throughout.

5. Messy Long Hair Bob

One of the greatest things about lobs is that they are so cute, even with minimal styling. Take the messy bob for example: You may think she’s just stumbled out of bed, but the beauty of the cut and its strength is in its effortlessness.

6. Angled Long Bob

For a refined appearance, opt for a sleek angled bob. The best thing about it is that it’s sharp and edgy without being too provocative – and it’s worth it, even if you believe an angled bob is a little harder to maintain.

7. Minimally Styled Lob

If you were searching for pictures to provide you with inspiration on what a long bob with bangs could look like, then this is a fine example. One of the pros of having longer hair is that you can afford a large number of different styles, with subtle beach waves being one of the most popular among them. When worn in a natural way, it’s absolutely stunning.

A lob haircut with bangs is a great choice for women with thin hair, because unlike many other styles it does not make your locks appear flat. To enhance the cut, create a blend of your natural color and nuance highlights – which will leave you looking super elegant.

10. Extra-Long Straight Bangs

A longer A line bob tends to be much more versatile than its shorter counterparts, and is particularly flattering when worn with long bangs, as it creates interesting dimensions. Don’t let the long bangs put you off, while they may seem tricky to wear for everyday (there’s nothing more annoying than having your locks in your face) they are actually easier to style than you think.

11. Blonde Side-Part Lob

One of the many wonderful things about a long bob with side bangs is that it’s chic, but also has a laid back, casual-cool vibe about it. But that’s not the only reason to love it: Blonde can be especially gorgeous with dark roots (of course we’re not talking about cms of regrowth, but rather just a bit of your natural color peeking out).

12. Long Platinum Bob

Platinum is a difficult color to pull off because even the smallest imperfection (like split ends) is instantly highlighted. However, an effortless way to disguise the condition of your locks is to wear them in a choppy lob. The centre parting of the layered fringe also makes it easier to pull off, while complementing the bold color.

There is something about a long bob with side swept bangs that just screams “cool girl.” This lob is simple enough to maintain, but also seductive, thanks to the elegant fringe and gentle waves – perfect for women who want to create a sophisticated appearance.

14. Choppy Cut

Naturally thick hair can benefit from an inverted bob (as it removes some of the heaviness), but so too can feathered layers. The rugged cut frames the face, making it appear softer. And it’s absolutely lovely!

16. Lob with a Modern Twist

This cut is interesting and creates volume, but the best part is undeniably the color. If you want a ‘do that’s sure to grab attention, then a high-contrast color with a root fade will create a truly individual image. Plus, the edginess of the hues work well with the femininity of the side swept bangs.

18. Lob with Deep Side-Part

A traditional lob is simple, but bangs make it fashionable. The deep side part of the bangs frames the face beautifully, and looks polished.
