Blunt Lob
Collarbone · one length
A blunt lob is a long bob cut clean at the collarbone, all one length with no layers. The single line keeps the ends looking dense and healthy, and the length is long enough to tuck behind an ear or tie back. It may be the least fussy haircut in the salon repertoire.
Who it suits
Almost every face shape wears collarbone length well; it's especially good for round and square faces because it draws the eye down past the jaw. Best on straight to lightly wavy hair. Very curly textures lose the sharp line the cut relies on, and long, narrow faces may want to add a fringe.
One-length cuts grow out gracefully — a trim every 10-12 weeks keeps the line crisp. Styling is optional; it works air-dried.
Blunt Lob — common questions
What length is a lob exactly?
Anywhere between the chin and the collarbone — most versions sit right at or just above the collarbone. Shorter than that is a bob; much longer starts reading as simply long hair.
Is a blunt lob good for fine hair?
Yes — it's the standard recommendation. Keeping every strand the same length concentrates weight at the ends, so fine hair looks noticeably thicker than it would with layers.
Can I wear a blunt lob wavy?
Definitely. A quick bend from a flat iron or wand turns it into an easy, modern wave. Keep the last inch of the ends straight when you style so the blunt line still shows.
