Should I get a long bob? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

The long bob is one of the most universally flattering haircuts because it suits a wide range of face shapes and hair types.

• Round faces: A long bob that falls just past the jawline can help elongate the face, creating the illusion of a slimmer face.
• Oval faces: An oval face shape is considered ideal for almost any haircut, and makes your Stylists job very easy! In the case of a long bob there is no exception.
• Square faces: If you’re considering a long bob, soft face-framing layers can soften strong jawlines, making the overall appearance more balanced and feminine.
• Heart-shaped faces: You’ll likely benefit from movement at the ends by drawing attention downward and away from a wider forehead.

Hair texture of any haircut is often understated in terms of its importance. For example one length haircuts are more structured, wavy hair adds natural movement and curls can introduce a voluminous effect. It’s too worth noting that most long bobs aren’t the same and a competent Stylist will adapt the long bob to suit your face shape, hair type and lifestyle.
