The lob is the most popular celeb haircut of 2014. So many normally long-locked A-listers have chopped their strands, opting for the lob, which is a long bob.
It’s not a short ‘do; it’s more medium in its length, since it can skim the shoulders or hang a bit longer than the chin. It can be asymmetrical, beveled or shaggy and layered. It can be blown out sleek, like you normally see on coif queen Jennifer Aniston, or it can be textured and wavy, with that whole bedhead thang.
But lots of celebs who opt for lobs often post a variation of “Short hair don’t care” as their social media caption after being shorn but it’s not, like, a pixie so it’s not a pure short cut.
Still, when you are used to lots of length and when your hair is your curtain and protective shield, even a mid-length ‘do feels like a major chop.
In recent times, Beyonce, Demi Lovato, Kate Mara, Kylie Jenner and many, many more have gone the lob route. It’s a truly, truly versatile cut that flatters all face shapes and all hair textures, and it can be styled in a variety of ways so you’ll never get bored or stuck in a hair rut.
See 15 celebs that went with the lob. It might even inspire you to make an appointment with your stylist for a little lob action.

5. Rita Ora: The Jay Z protege and singer, who is more famous for her fashion endorsements, her crimson lips, her upcoming role in Fifty Shades of Grey and her failed relationships than for her music in the U.S., changes her hair more than Beyonce. Her lob is so sexy, though. Shizz, Rita Ora would be scorching even if she was bald.
6. Kylie Jenner: While the youngest Kris Jenner spawn is getting a lot of attention for her inflated lips and her extensions, she has shown off a lob on her IG feed and it flatters her face shape.
