Layered curly lob

The feeling

A closer look

This longer curly bob sits near the shoulders when dry. Carefully placed layers can reduce heaviness while preserving full ends. Curl density and shrinkage matter more than matching the exact wet length in a reference photograph.

These generated images are inspiration. A hairdresser can help adapt the shape to your density, growth patterns and preferred routine.

Styling notes

• Work curl cream or gel through damp hair in manageable sections.
• Scrunch the ends towards the roots and arrange the face-framing curls.
• Dry gently without rough towel rubbing; release any firm product cast only after drying.

Everyday upkeep

• Review the layers as the shape grows, usually around eight to twelve weeks.
• Use conditioner during detangling and support the section above any knot while working through it.
