As iconic and ever-relevant as the lob is, we’re always game for an update. Luckily, there are so many ways you can cut and style your shoulder-length or asymmetrical lob.

Lobs are also ideal for playing around with highlights, layers and accessories.
Here, the best inspiration to keep that classic lob looking fresh.
