A long blunt bob is a one-length cut that usually lands right on the shoulders or collarbone. It looks great on any woman, and with the right chop, it can enhance and accentuate facial features. What makes the blunt lob cut extra awesome is how versatile it is, as well.
Depending on the natural hair type and how you want to wear it, this lob may sometimes require more styling. According to Wisconsin-based stylist Maggie Banks, “A big misconception is that short hair equals less styling required, and that isn’t always true!”
One key question for the stylist is: What styling products and routines do I need?
“I recommend blow drying or air drying the hair in a product with a holding element,” Banks explains. “This will help the style hold all day, minimize frizz, and make restyling for next-day hair easier. Something like a sea salt spray air-dried or even a gel blow-dried and brushed through works great.”
A shoulder-length blunt lob haircut like this tends to flip out. When this happens, use a blow dryer and hot tools. Use a heat protector and keep your hot tools at a lower temp, too.
Before getting a chop, make sure you also ask your stylist, “How often do I need to come in to maintain this cut?”
Banks says that a trim every 6-8 weeks is essential to keep a long bob that’s blunt. But since it grows out well, and if you are okay with getting a longer length, feel free to spread out the appointments a bit.
Go bold and imitate Chrissy Teigen, Kim Kardashian, or Katy Perry’s blunt lob hairstyle.

#1: Soft Blonde Blunt Lob with No Fringe
If you want a sleek and modern look, your best bet is the trendy soft blonde blunt lob with no fringe and middle part. Spend time to perfect this style – it’ll be worth it! With its length just below the shoulders, this cut works on all face shapes and hair textures. This low-maintenance style will still require regular trims to keep everything looking neat.
#2: Warm Blonde on a Shoulder-Length Blunt Cut
The shoulder-length blunt cut in warm blonde is a soft and feminine hairstyle. The medium length is ideal for those hesitant about having short hair. A long blunt bob haircut is quite versatile, too. You can wear it wavy or straight, even easily pulled up into a ponytail. The warm blonde highlights accentuate the style, giving it beautiful dimension and depth. No worries this type of haircut suits all hair types and textures.
#3: Blonde Face-Framing Highlights for a Lob
Add lighter face-framing highlights to your lob. This brightens your complexion and gives your hair a dimension. Icey blonde highlights are ideal for naturally ashy hair shades and are more forgiving as they grow out. The same trend can be applied to darker hair, although the tones of the highlights may need adjustment to match.
#4: Blunt Sleek Bob with Slight Graduation
One method to add volume to thin hair is using a bob hairstyle with a slight graduation. If you want to add body to fine hair and maintain some length, I recommend an A-Line blunt bob. This style prevents your hair from looking long and stringy, giving it a fuller look all around that holds a strong shape. This strategy works well for people with thin hair around the temples, giving this area a denser appearance.
#5: Ash Blonde Long Bubble Bob with Off-Center Part
The bubble bob hairstyle is the latest trend. It’s worn, sleek, and turned under. If you want this style, ask your stylist to cut your hair slightly longer than a traditional bob with a low-maintenance ash blonde color. This extra length will allow you to round off the style. Avoid adding layers, as they will remove the bluntness from your baseline. Also, an off-center parting can give your hair a softer look. When you dry your hair, use a round brush. Make the hair sit under by turning the brush inwards, towards the face.
#6: White-Blonde Blunt Lob
A blunt lob cut in a white-blonde shade is a trendy style. This length of the lob is highly versatile, as you can wear it up and down. For a bob vibe, wear it straight. Discuss with your stylist to choose the best length that suits your hair texture.
#7: Long Blunt Lob with Bangs and an Undercut
A hairstyle featuring a trimmed lob, straight bangs, and an undercut is visually powerful. If you have straight hair, this style would suit you. The style’s clean lines are best suited to sleek hair types. Request minimal layered trims, straight, short bangs, and one side shaved for the best outcome. Blow your hair out with a shine spray such as Redken’s Shine Flash and a round brush for a polished finish.
#8: Long Blunt Yet Tousled Bob
Are you looking for something chic and sharp? Ask for a long blunt yet tousled bob! Sharp, textured lobs are a timeless cut that is also very on-trend.

This is a great choice for those wanting a fresh, modern look without sacrificing length. The blunt-cut lob works well for straight and wavy hair types and can be easily styled to suit any occasion. To achieve this sleek look, start with freshly washed and dried hair. Apply a heat protectant and use a flat iron to create a sleek and smooth finish. Finish off with a shine serum for added polish and shine.

However, it’s important to consider your hair’s health and maintenance needs. Frequent coloring and heat styling may require additional care. Embrace this beautiful hairstyle and enjoy the versatility it brings to your look.
#12: The Bluntest Long Bob
If you have fine or thin hair, the long bob with no texture may be just your style. This haircut is ideal for stringy hair types. The drawback to this haircut is the need for more volume and texture. However, if you’re attempting to have healthy ends, this is a great route. Avoid going too short. The beauty of this haircut is the length around the face and chin.
#13: Soft Blunt Bob with Dimensional Highlights
One way to amplify a smokin’ bob is to add dimensional highlights to accent the cut. If you want to highlight your facial features, you can create a money piece. It should start at the root or farther down from the root, creating a shadow, depending on your face shape. Round-face shapes look great with asymmetrical highlights. A longer face shape looks better with a longer root shadow.
#14: Bright Money Piece on a Blunt Lob
Ask for a bright money piece on your long blunt bob. The key to remember is blunt cuts will always make your hair look thicker. So, if you have fine hair, this is a great choice, or if you want your hair to look thicker than it is. You can ask your stylist for a soft blend texture by doing slide cutting or using texturizing shears. Both will soften the shape.
#15: Blonde Blunt Lob with Dark Roots
A blonde long bob with dark roots is perfect for women searching for a classy hairstyle with a modern edge. Keeping a dark root with your blonde will not only create depth and dimension to your hair, but it will also grow out more naturally if you have darker hair naturally. This shadow root can be melted seamlessly into your blonde hair so you can wait a little longer between trips to the hair salon.
#16: Icy White Lob with Blunt Ends
Are you thinking of being icy white this season? I advise considering all factors like color history, budget, and a maintenance routine. This includes salon visits and product usage. If your length is long and layered with colors, you may consider shorter styles like a lob with blunt ends. This gives your overall hair a look of health.
#17: Long Blunt Bob
A long blunt bob on this shoulder-length hair is extra special due to its color. The foilayage provides a fresher result to a one-length blunt bob. If the hair needs fullness, ask your stylist about tape-in extensions.
#18: Gorgeous Blonde Balayage Blunt Lob
When having a lob cut, team it with a balayage. Ask for a bright face frame to show off your curtain bangs. If you can, keep the dark areas close to your natural color. This gives a great, seamless look. When styling, use a volumizing spray before drying. Tong away from your face, leaving the last 3rd out for a raw, lived-in look.
#19: Sun-Kissed Blunt Style
A sun-kissed style is a sleek look for the modern woman. To maintain this look, it’s best to get a haircut every 7-10 weeks. Adding a few highlights will be the key to enhancing the texture. Ask your stylist for a blunt baseline haircut with long layers and a few face-framing pieces.
#20: Extra Long Blunt Cut Lob
If you want healthy-looking hair, my best advice is to cut your split ends off. Hair will always grow back, and don’t you want your hair to look fantastic? A lob is a great choice because it’s still long enough to pull back easily and will grow out quickly. Add loose waves with a 1 1/4-inch iron; you might love it.
#21: One-Length Blunt Lob
A one-length haircut is one of the most elegant, classiest, yet simplest haircuts you will see. Its bluntness creates such a sharp and perfectly crafted finish. Styling it straight with a middle part will give you a timeless look you can wear all day long.

#23: Textured Blunt Lob with a Deep Side Part
A textured blunt lob with a deep side part is great for fine hair. Keeping the layers minimal or hidden will give the illusion of thickness. The deep side part adds interest and some sass to the style—Blow-dry with a round brush to add volume and waves for more texture.
#24: Wavy Lob
A wavy lob is the epitome of cool-girl chic. Always a classic cut that will always be in style. Wear it sleeker for a classy work look, or add beach waves for a more relaxed style. Ask your stylist to add hidden layers by texturizing the mid-lengths to the ends of the hair.
#25: Soft Graduated Blunt Lob
Choose a soft long bob for its perfect length. Hitting below the chin and above the shoulders, this cut delivers a feminine, versatile shape.

#26: Center-Parted Blunt Bob
A center-parted style elongates the face and frames facial features beautifully. The blunt edge strengthens facial features by creating strong lines and contrast. Blunt haircuts are a great way to add boldness to soft facial features, drawing them forward and enhancing the overall dynamic of the face.
