17. Go for the Lob

The lob is the industry term for a long bob, and we’re sure it’s not the first time you’ve heard it. If you like having long hair but don’t want the pressure of maintaining too much length, the lob is an ideal shoulder-length that still appears long. Lobs can be wavy, straight or curly, but either which way you wear them, they’re going to look classy.
