The Expensive-Looking Short Haircut Everyone Who Wants to Look Polished This Winter Is Asking For

Right now, everyone is thinking of getting their hair cut in the Who What Wear UK office. Many of us are loving short haircuts at the moment, with bob hairstyles making up most of our haircut inspiration for winter as we book plan our next salon appointment. But if a bob hairstyle isn't for you and you still want to keep some length, then a blunt lob haircut might be the sweet spot before you try a shorter bob style. And it's tipped to be a major winter hair trend, with Google searches for 'blunt lob haircut' up over 5,000%.
What Is a Blunt Lob Haircut?
A lob haircut is shorthand for a long bob, which sits longer than that of a traditional bob, usually falling somewhere between the jawline and tops of the shoulders. Paired with a blunt cut, this haircut instantly makes your hair look fuller, thicker and healthier. Plus, if you're growing out a shorter bob right now, a blunt lob haircut is a great way to transition into longer lengths too. And if you have longer lengths but aren't ready to commit to a short bob haircut yet, then a blunt lob haircut is a great way to feel out a shorter style while still retaining some length and having the option to tie your hair back. See? It's so versatile.
