Wavy lob

Shoulder-skimming length with gentle layers that let natural waves unfold.

The feeling

A closer look

A wavy lob keeps enough weight for soft bends while adding a little movement through the lower half. It can be worn tousled without needing a perfect curl pattern. The cut should allow for how the ends behave when they touch your shoulders.

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

Make it work for you

Styling notes

  • Apply light mousse through damp mid-lengths and ends.
  • Scrunch gently, then leave the wave pattern alone while it dries.
  • Tuck one side behind the ear or lift the roots with your fingertips once dry.

Everyday upkeep

  • Check the perimeter and layers roughly every eight to twelve weeks.
  • Keep product near the ends if your roots flatten easily.
