Have you heard about the long bob hairstyles (they are also called lobs)? If you haven’t, here’s one thing that will draw your attention: a long bob haircut will most likely suit you perfectly.
Your face shape (oval or round face) and your hair type (straight or wavy) don’t matter at all because of an amazing feature of long bobs — they can flatter every woman! That’s probably why long bob cuts are so popular now. It’s one of those trends that will not die in the next few years — and we are really happy about it. A simple, beautiful, and elegant haircut that is easy to maintain — what can be better than that?
Here we’ve gathered 70 pictures of the best layered bob hairstyles — only the cutest, the most feminine, and the trendiest cuts that will certainly impress you. The long layered bob cuts are definitely worth your attention — so let’s not waste time and take a look at them. Ready?
Cute Long Layered Bobs With Bangs
As we all know, even perfect things can get better. When it comes to lob hairdos, it’s all about layers. Layering can make almost every haircut better, and lobs aren’t an exception — the layers give a volume boost, they provide depth, give a movement to a hairdo, and they can make you look younger (especially in combination with bangs).
Long layered bob haircuts are truly the perfection of the haircuts. Meet some amazing photos of the long layered bobs with bangs — we are sure you won’t be disappointed!
Despite the bangs (especially curtain bangs) can take your time and effort every morning, and despite they must be trimmed every 3 weeks, they are the thing that can upgrade your style.
The bangs (or “fringe” if you live outside the United States) can make your face look thinner and more oval, they are chic and trendy, feminine (if you choose shorter bangs), or extremely cute (if you prefer a short bob with a long fringe)…
Damn, we could talk about them all day long if we had time. But you know, a picture’s worth a thousand words — so don’t waste your time and check the pictures out right now!

Remember what we’ve said about the face shape types at the very beginning of this article? That was absolutely true — the long bob cuts work great for all face shapes. However, there are some details and nuances here.
Like, if you have a square face shape, a long bob with the short blunt bangs will not suit you perfectly — such a hairstyle is a great way to make your face look like a boxy face, not to make it more oval or round. But that’s not what you are looking for, we believe.
However, don’t worry: there is one amazing hairstyle that will work great for you if have a square face shape. We are talking about the messy layered lob cut — it’s the cut that will soften your look and your jawlines, without any doubt.
But of course, it’s not about the ladies with square faces. A messy long bob hairstyle cut in layers is one of those universal hairdos that will frame the face and add some balance — not to mention its fantastic ability to make every face look more elegant. Who doesn’t love that effortless vibe?
The bangs will work fine here, too (especially long and side-swept ones). It’s a very versatile hairdo, which means you can change and upgrade it according to your ideas. Check the pictures out and draw inspiration from them!

Ways To Style Long Bob With Layers
A long bob is one of the most popular hairdos in the world, so it doesn’t make sense to describe all the possible ways to style it. However, there are three main ideas of what you can do with your shoulder length cut.
What are they?
The first one is a traditional bob cut with layers. It’s a simple and extremely beautiful haircut that works perfectly for all (well, almost all) face shapes. Wanna add movement? Wanna try a textured and flattering hairdo, but aren’t ready for something extraordinary yet? Then such lobs are for you.
Then, we recommend trying an inverted lob hairstyle. Short at the back, long at the front — it’s a great voluminous haircut that becomes even better if it’s angled. By the way, the bangs are welcome here!
The last idea is called “shag”. The shaggy long bob cuts are, like, the sexiest, and the most rock ‘n’ roll version of a traditional long bob. The layers can’t spoil it, but they can make it better — so if you feel that you are cool and strong enough, you can show your confidence to the world with a shaggy lob hairstyle. Would you try it?
Of course, that’s not all. You can do whatever you want to your long layered bob — like, you can try highlights or other coloring techniques like balayage or ombre in order to express your personality and to make your look perfect.
You can ask your hairdresser to make two layers: the upper layer (it will make the hairdo look voluminous) and the longer layer — such haircuts look great, too. You can try gradual bangs if you want to look even softer and more relaxed…
What is more, you can always make some braided updos with your long bob, since the length of your hair will be enough to do that. There are literally dozens of things you can do to improve and style your long bob — so look at the pictures and get new ideas!

Two things make us love long layered bob cuts on wavy hair. The first thing is that these hairstyles are extremely easy to maintain. They are probably in the top-5 list of the simplest haircuts — so if you are looking for a low maintenance cut, well, our congratulations. You’ve just found it.
The second thing we love about such hairstyles is their softness. Yeah, we said that all lob cuts look soft, but the wavy layered lob hairstyles are the winners here, with no doubt. Very romantic, very soft, very feminine haircuts — exactly what you were looking for, right?

Alright, enough soft cuts. It’s time for something playful and chic!
We are talking about side-swept bangs, of course. They don’t just add volume to every haircut, they also make you look extremely elegant.
Another interesting feature of the side-swept bangs is that they frame the face perfectly — a layered bob with such bangs can make your face look more oval. Perfect for all face shapes!
Besides, side-swept bangs are perfectly combined with a straight bob (if your hair is often worn straight) or A line bob. And of course, such hairstyles look fantastic — check the photos out to make sure we’re telling the truth.

Volume is great, when it comes to haircuts… but not when it comes to thick hair. The thing is, too much additional volume in thick hair can make your face look more masculine and boxy if your hair isn’t long enough — so sometimes you just need to find a haircut that will tame this volume.
A simple long layered bob is exactly what you need here — it frames the face, makes it thinner, and doesn’t add any unnecessary volume.
Here we have some amazing photos of how the long layered bob cuts can look on thick hair. Take a look at them, and you’ll see why we call such bobs universal!

Lob haircuts look great both with layers and without them. But as you have probably already noticed, the wavy and layered long bobs are really the next level of fashion.
There’s no secret here — long bob hairstyles look fantastic, and they are quite simple, that’s why all the women with medium hair love them. But what if your hair length is a little longer than that classic above-the-collarbone length?
It’s not a problem at all. Take a look at the pictures above to make sure we’re right — of course, the lobs will not work great with waist hair length, but they are still a perfect variant of a mid length cut.
