I Got the Internet-Famous Lob Haircut and These Are the 7 Products I Use to Style It

12/03/2020 - 07:15 PM

I have been teetering back and forth on if I should chop off my superlong hair [1] for months. I am no stranger to taking beauty risks, but once those scissors hit, you won't be getting those inches back for awhile. Celebs like Hailey Bieber [2] and Jen Atkin [3] have inspired me, so I decided to take the plunge for myself. I love the finished product — the length frames my face much better than my previous wannabe-Cher look.

It's been about two months now, and I have finally found the perfect formula for styling my lob. It has turned out to be much easier to work with on a daily basis than I thought. From the perfect round brush to an oil that seals my ends, read on to get my recommended products for giving yourself a flawlessly styled lob. Take the leap! You'll feel like a new person.

Drybar Half Pint Small Round Brush

It's important to get a brush a little skinnier than usual for shorter hair — it makes blowdrying it much easier. I love this Drybar Half Pint Small Round Brush [5] ($36) because it gives me a lot of control.

OUAI Matte Pomade

When I want that piecey, beachwavey look, I rub a dime-sized amount of OUAI Matte Pomade [6] ($24) in my hands and rake it through my curls. It creates texture and hold without any crunchiness.

Beachwave Pro 1.25" Rotating Curling Iron

I am obsessed with my Beachwave Pro 1.25" Rotating Curling Iron [7] ($199) — using it is the easiest and fastest way to achieve curls. It's my favourite hot tool for styling my lob.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment

I consider Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment [8] ($29) to be one of my holy grail products — it's the ultimate multitasker. I put a quarter-sized amount in my wet hair for smoothness and heat protection. It smells fresh and prevents frizziness.

Moroccanoil Treatment

When I flat iron my lob, I always finish off my look with a couple drops of Moroccanoil Treatment [9] ($15). It helps me achieve a sleek and modern look with tons of shine.

Aveda Air Control Hair Spray

The shorter your hair, the less you have to worry about your curls getting weighed down. I always use this Aveda Air Control Hair Spray [10] ($30) because it keeps my styling in place all day long without heaviness. No crunchy curls, please!

R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo

This R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo [11] ($32) is great for any hair length, but I especially love using it on my lob when I'm putting it up in a ponytail. It created hold so that no shorter pieces will slip out.

Freshly Cut

This is my hair as soon as I got it cut (and highlighted, as you can see from the bleach stains). I have been able to maintain its health by using all the products previously listed.

Styled With Curls

Achieving this look has become a no-brainer for me. Now it's your turn for the chop!
