What Is a Lob?
A lob — short for long bob — is a bob that ends anywhere between the chin and the collarbone, usually with a blunt or lightly textured edge. It keeps the crisp outline that makes a bob read intentional, but leaves enough length to tie back, curl, or tuck behind an ear. The lob filter above shows that exact silhouette on your face; run the lob filter and you will see where the hem lands on your shoulders before a single strand is cut.
The lob earned its permanent spot on salon menus because it splits the difference honestly. Shorter cuts free your neck but limit styling; longer hair offers options but demands time. A lob gives both: wash-and-go credibility on weekdays and enough hair for waves on weekends. The lob filter lets you audition that compromise — run the lob filter twice with two colors and the personality of the same cut changes completely.
Texture decides the mood. On straight hair a lob reads sharp and architectural; on wavy hair it turns soft and French; on curls it becomes a rounded, buoyant shape. The lob filter renders the outline either way, and switching shades inside the lob filter shows how ash brown reads polished while rose gold reads playful — same cut, different story.
One Lob, Thirteen Colors
A blunt edge is a canvas for color: dark shades sharpen the line, light shades soften it, and vivid shades turn the whole cut into a statement. Every image below is the lob rendered by the lob filter in a different color; pick any swatch in the lob filter above and that exact combination lands on your own photo.
Why People Use a Lob Filter
The First Big Chop
Going from waist-length to collarbone is a genuine decision. The lob filter shows the destination on your own face so the big chop feels like a plan, not a leap.
Growing Out a Bob
A classic bob passes through the lob stage on its way down. Preview the next six months with the lob filter and decide whether to stay there instead.
Office-Safe Change
A lob reads polished in any dress code while still feeling like a real change. Run the lob filter, pick a natural shade, and walk into Monday with receipts.
Color Test Before Bleach
Collarbone-length hair is the most expensive canvas to bleach badly. The lob filter tries silver, pastel pink, or rose gold on your photo with zero damage.
Show Your Stylist the Hemline
"Somewhere around the shoulders" means five different lengths to five stylists. Bring your lob filter result and point at the exact line you want.
Straight or Wavy Tonight?
The lob is the shortest cut that still takes a curling iron well. Use the lob filter to pick a color you love, then style the real thing both ways.

Will a Lob Suit Your Face Shape?
A collarbone-length hem changes where the eye stops, so shape matters — the guide below narrows it down, then the lob filter settles it on your actual face.
Ovale
The easiest match — a lob's clean line frames balanced proportions without any adjustment, and the lob filter will prove it in seconds.
Carré
Ask for a hem slightly past the jaw with a softer edge so the line does not echo the jaw; check the proportion in the lob filter.
Rond
A lob that ends below the chin adds the vertical drop a round face likes — the lob filter shows exactly where that sweet spot sits on you.
Cœur
Collarbone length adds width at the narrowest part of a heart-shaped face; preview the balance in the lob filter before committing.
Diamant
A lob with a deep side part softens prominent cheekbones — test both partings with a quick run of the lob filter.
Allongé
Keep the hem at or above the collarbone and add a wave; a flat, over-long lob stretches the face, and the lob filter makes that trade-off obvious.
Lob vs Bob vs Midi: Reading the Length Spectrum
Bring your lob filter preview to the salon and length vocabulary does the negotiating. A classic bob ends at the jaw or just below — graphic, French, higher maintenance. A lob ends between chin and collarbone — the flexible middle. A midi cut drops to the collarbone or an inch past — the longest stop before "long hair" officially begins. The lob filter shows your face at the middle setting; too short and you are a midi person, too safe and you are ready for a real bob.
Upkeep is honest middle ground too. A blunt lob wants a trim every eight to ten weeks to keep the line crisp — half as often as a jaw-length bob. Styling splits by mood: a blowout with a round brush for the sharp version, air-dried with cream for the soft one. Run the lob filter, live with the render for a week, try a second color, and only then book the appointment.
Lob Filter FAQ
Is the lob filter free?
Yes. New users get free credits — enough for your first lob filter preview at no cost, no app install — it runs right in your browser. Credit packs and subscriptions exist if you want more later.
How realistic is the lob filter?
The lob filter keeps your face, lighting, and background untouched and rebuilds only the hair — the blunt hemline, the collarbone length, and your natural hairline, with no helmet edges. Run the lob filter in two colors and compare them side by side.
Quelle photo marche le mieux ?
A clear, front-facing selfie in even light with your shoulders in frame gives the lob filter the best input — it needs to see where your neck meets your shoulders to place the hem convincingly. Hats and heavy shadows make it less accurate.
Is a lob high maintenance?
No — that is its selling point. A lob air-dries acceptably, ties back for the gym, and only asks for a trim every eight to ten weeks. The lob filter is the zero-maintenance way to enjoy the look before you own it.
Does the lob filter work for curly or coily hair?
Yes. The lob filter handles straight, wavy, and coily (3A–4C) textures for any gender — a curly lob renders as the rounded, springy shape it actually is, never straightened into something else. Test yours in the preview above.
Will a lob work if my hair is very fine?
Fine hair is where a blunt lob shines — the solid edge makes ends look denser than any layered cut. Preview the illusion with the lob filter, then ask your stylist for a blunt or lightly textured finish.
Can I download and share the lob filter result?
Yes. Download the lob filter preview to show your stylist the exact hemline, send it to friends for a vote, or post your own before-and-after.
