12 Head-Turning Long Inverted Bob Haircuts
Beach Wavy Long Inverted Blonde Bob
@rachel.lott.hair
This fantastic long wavy inverted bob cut is steeply angled and subtly stacked in the back to enhance its dramatic A-line shape.
It was created by Rachel Lott, the Owner of Camellia Hair and Beauty in Queensbury, NY.
Her reason to frame the face? “I kept the length around the face long with no framing for a smooth and continued translation from short to long. Adding framing or wispy bangs to a wavy lob will break up the line and change the look of long inverted bobs.”
I love the color of this long graduated bob. Here’s what Rachael had to say about it. “The long inverted bob cut is accented with organically placed blonde balayage highlights and tousled waves, keeping the style current and on-trend.”
Rachel gave some advice on styling this blonde bob cut with tousled waves to keep the look current and on-trend. “For straight hair textures, wrap hair in sections away from the face loosely around a medium barrel iron. For naturally wavy hair, you can try adding a texture cream or salt spray and let it air dry.”

Long Undercut Inverted Bob for Thick Hair
@gerilynghaisarzadeh
This is a long inverted undercut bob haircut for thick hair. It’s a modern take on the classic bob never goes out of style.
“If you have a lot of hair, shaving all of the hair underneath helps take out the weight,” says Gerilyn Ghaisarzadeh, the creator of this cut.
As for the coloring process, Gerilyn said “as we traveled down the hair shaft, major warmth still remained in the hair. This created a reverse ombre effect which I really liked – lighter purple at the root melted into a deeper darker purple.”
The key to a good long inverted bob for thick hair? “Get a consultation to find out how much of an angle you want. This long bob haircut also works on different textures of hair and really most face shapes depending upon where you put the weight line in the front,” she said.
Side Parted Lob with Fringe for Straight Hair
@ktmac614
A long inverted bob cut with fringe is the perfect way to frame your face and draw more attention to your eyes.
“For long inverted bob variations like this, having straight hair also helps bring more attention to your highlights,” said Katie Martin, the Lead Master Hairstylist at Prodigo Day Spa & Salon in Harleysville, PA.
Want a change from long hair? “Long inverted bobs are a great change from long hair but you don’t want to go super short. Having that length in the front is good security for them!” Katie added.
Here’s how to style a long inverted bob:
1. Start with a great blowout, as a great blowout gives you more longevity with the hairstyle.
2. Starting at the nape of the head, blow-dry the hair in sections with a ceramic and ion thermal brush, over-directing the hair in all directions to give maximum volume along with smoothness.
3. Finish with sweeping the bangs to the side.
4. After, put a smoothing oil, on the ends and lightly slide a flat iron through the hair to give a more sleek look.
5. Finish with a flexible hairspray.
6. For the bangs, rest the bangs together with your hand underneath and spray to keep the bangs together without separating.
Katie told me that the great thing about a long inverted bob is it really isn’t hard and can be done quickly.
As for the best facial shapes and hair types?
“Inverted lobs are flattering for any face shape and hair type. An inverted lob with side bangs is great for fine hair because the blunt cut makes your tresses look fuller and thicker.”
