Blunt Lob
A collarbone-length cut with a strong, weighty perimeter.
The blunt lob sits between a bob and long hair, usually around the collarbone. Its strength comes from a visible baseline with limited external layering. Subtle internal shaping can improve movement without weakening the edge. The cut is long enough to tie back but short enough to make the ends and color feel more prominent.
| Length | Collarbone |
|---|---|
| Texture | Straight, wavy, or loose-curly hair |
| Face-shape starting points | Oval, Round, Heart, Square |
| Maintenance | Low to medium. Trim every 8 to 12 weeks to preserve the line. |
Who may want to try blunt lob?
This style is a useful direction for people interested in a fuller-looking perimeter, growing out a bob, versatile styling. Face-shape labels are only a starting point; the strongest choice also accounts for density, growth pattern, natural texture, styling time, and how often you want to return for maintenance.

What to ask for at the salon
Ask for a collarbone-length lob with a blunt perimeter, minimal visible layering, and only discreet internal weight removal if needed.
Bring a front, side, and back reference when possible. Point to the exact perimeter, fringe position, top height, or side length you want to preserve. Ask the stylist to explain how the idea should be adapted to your real hair rather than copying the image without adjustment.
How to style it
- Keep the ends relatively straight when adding waves for a modern outline.
- Switch between a center and side part to change the balance.
- Use a round brush at the ends only if you want a softer finish.
What to consider before the cut
The collarbone can make the ends flip outward. Moving the cut slightly above or below that point may create a more predictable fall.
Previewing the silhouette can make the decision clearer, but it cannot predict exact shrinkage, chemical limits, cowlick behavior, or the finish produced by a specific salon technique.
