Features of the hairstyle elongated bob without bangs

In contrast to the traditional bob, the hair is trimmed obliquely rather than straight, creating a seamless transition from the short back of the head to the long front strands. In this instance, the parting may be to the side or straight.

The most common type of elongated bob is straight, which doesn’t have a noticeable texture, but there are other options as well. The hairstyle appears voluptuous and structured when paired with a bob haircut and wavy curls.

Who suits it?

Who then looks good with a simple, long bob? Even though an elongated bob is so simple, its traditional straight version is not the most popular. Oval, rectangular, and diamond-shaped face shapes work well with it. Girls with round faces look best with a graduated variation with volume in the crown area; this will visually lengthen the face and hide the cheeks because the front curls create an elongated vertical on the sides.

However, a bob without bangs—especially a straight one—won’t look good on girls with high foreheads or people with square faces. In this instance, the chin line will appear visually heavier as the emphasis is moved to the jaw.

Pros and cons of haircuts

An extended bob does not give the impression of having short hair; rather, the appearance of someone sporting such a haircut has come to represent femininity and elegance. This cut visually corrects posture while highlighting a sophisticated long neck and balancing the proportions of a short neck. Straight, thick hair looks especially good with a long bob without bangs. One minor taboo, though, is having a high forehead. It will be prominently displayed with this haircut.

The bob loses its shape and grows out quickly, though, so regular maintenance is required.

Show the hairdresser: options for an elongated bob without bangs

There are a ton of gorgeous elongated bob styles available without bangs. We highlight the most popular ones and provide advice on how to handle them at home.

Classic

When wearing a classic bob without bangs, the hair covers the entire back of the head and reaches the level of the neck, while the front strands are only slightly longer (sometimes covering only the cheekbones). Just a reminder that an extended bob without bangs looks great on medium-length straight hair as well. Curls look great with this haircut as well.

Experts from SalonSecret share a lifehack. You don’t always need to style. Additionally, with one exception: not washing your hair. Your classic bob will stay neat all day long if you use dry shampoo (L’Oréal Professionnel Morning After Dust) to the root zone of your entire head, massage your scalp with your fingers, and comb your hair. Volume will also emerge from the roots.

Graduated

One of the few options for a bob that works well on thin hair. Maximum volume can be achieved because of the gradient that runs the entire length of the hair.

Another variation of zonal graduation allows for the creation of volume in the parietal region, which makes the hairstyle ideal for a round face shape.

Experts from SalonSecret share a lifehack. Wavy hair works best for this haircut because layering it will not take much time. To create a fashionable texture pattern, apply paste to the ends of the Redken Rough Paste; this is sufficient.

Very long

The front curls in this instance may go as low as shoulder level or even lower. This bob works well with hair that is straight or wavy. On comparatively long hair without bangs, an elongated bob looks especially harmonious. A simple ladder can be used to create a difference in length near the face.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Even if all you’re doing is using a hairdryer to dry your hair, shield the lower third of your hair from extreme heat in order to achieve the desired look for your long bob. Additionally, look for light textures for your hair, like Redken Satinwear lotion, which is designed specifically for styling with a hairdryer.

Asymmetrical

A longer oblique cut on one side of the haircut and a side parting define an asymmetrical bob without bangs. Although it may not seem like it, this is how all hairdressers are trained to cut hair. Finding a master will not take long and be fruitful, especially if you utilize our locator.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. When the hair is frizz-free and smooth, the haircut looks amazing. The intended effect can be achieved and maintained for the entire day by lightly running a styler through the strands after applying the spray along the length of Matrix Miracle Creator.

Wavy

One of the newest styles, which is made using curling curls and is based on a traditional elongated bob.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Use specialized volume-forming mousses, such as L’Oréal Professionnel Transformer, Matrix High Amplify, and their equivalents, to curl curls instead of regular mousses.

Bob-bob

It’s also commonly referred to as a "bob on a leg" haircut. In this instance, the volume is dispersed throughout the entire hairstyle, with a very short occipital portion. Strands close to the face descend to the chin or collarbones. The triangular and extended features of the face are balanced by the bob-bob. Ideal for extremely fine hair.

Kérastase More and Densimorphose Mousse

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Naturally, hair density and volume do not just happen. Before styling Kérastase Densimorphose, try using mousse. It makes the strands silky and shiny and makes it easy to achieve the desired thickness.

The main characteristic of a bob is that it appears very differently on various hair tones, so you should check how it will appear on your current color before getting a haircut.

On dark hair

The most striking combination for a classic straight bob with extensions is very dark hair.

Using technology balayage to paint the square on dark hair is a great way to make it more structural and expressive. The hairstyle gains color versatility and volume instantaneously.

Create coloured tips in red or plum tones as an additional method of highlighting long bob curls and adding brightness.

For light hair

Light hair tends to appear less voluminous if texture and depth of color are not added, so graduation options are great for them, whether they are worn on the leg or at a classic length. Of course, complex coloring techniques like pastelage, shatush, or airtouch are also great.

Even so, a straight bob still looks stunning, particularly when the curls mimic sun-bleached hair.

A straight or slightly wavy bob that seamlessly transitions to blond using the ombre or balayage technique is a great choice for people with light brown hair.

For red hair

An asymmetrical bob with a side parting can draw attention to the brightness of red hues. Here, the hair close to the face can be chin length; this will draw attention to the neck’s natural curve and give the picture a particularly delicate, flowing quality.

And a wavy bob is among the most advantageous bob styles for red hair. Saturated red tones are perfectly emphasized by curly curls, which also create an airy hairstyle.

How to cut a square for lengthening without bangs?

• Using elastic bands, they offer to divide the hair into three areas: side and occipital. And immediately fix the elastic bands at the level setting the length. Behind this can be, for example, 2-5 cm above the base of the neck, that is, above the seventh vertebra. On the side tails, fix the elastic bands just below the collarbone.

• Gather the will in a fist and cut all three tails immediately under the elastic bands. Now the hair can be dissolved.
