The Haircut That’s Quietly Replacing the Lob (And Looks Good on Everyone)
Move over, lob — there’s a new cut in town. And it’s not just trending, it’s quietly taking over salons across the country. It flatters every face shape, plays well with your natural texture, and makes “I just woke up like this” hair totally achievable.
So what is this mysterious new go-to?
Enter: The Soft, Shapely Midi
Somewhere between a bob and long layers, the “shapely midi” is rising fast as the new it-girl haircut. Think less blunt precision, more soft movement. It hits right at or just below the collarbone — the perfect in-between length for versatility without commitment.
Why Stylists (and Clients) Love It:
-
Universally flattering: Unlike the lob, which can feel boxy or heavy on certain textures, the shapely midi brings contour and flow that frames the face beautifully.
-
Low effort, high payoff: It air-dries with ease and still looks styled. Great for wash-and-go girlies and blowout lovers alike.
-
Looks intentional (even when it’s not): Thanks to its built-in shape and internal layers, this cut doesn’t need daily heat or constant styling to look “done.”
How It’s Styled This Season
-
Soft bends > tight waves
-
Texture sprays > hairspray
-
Air-dried and tousled > flat ironed and sleek
The new midi celebrates movement. It’s less about polish, more about personality. Think French-girl effortlessness meets California cool.
Is the Midi Right for You?
If you’ve been stuck in the same lob for years and want something fresh—but not drastic—this is your moment. Ask your stylist for a mid-length shape with invisible layers, tapered ends, and styling versatility. Bonus: It grows out beautifully, which means fewer salon trips without sacrificing style.
