A long bob with bangs for thin hair is a shoulder-length cut that boosts volume and movement. A fringe is added to match most face shapes and enhance specific facial features.
Lindsey Willis is an elite hairstylist and educator in Broken Arrow, OK. She loves how versatile bangs are. “They can be softer, more blended, or a straight line across your forehead,” she states.
With the right amount of layers, thinner tresses can appear fuller. Willis explains, “Light layering or texture on the top section gives the hair some movement. Cutting into the length will take away that thickness on the ends.”
Be mindful of the length you choose. If your lob hits your shoulders, it could flip up. Good thing—adding half an inch would fix that.
Always consider your face shape when you’re choosing your preferred cut. Willis suggests asking your stylist, “Will the style enhance or take away prominent features?”
