Long Inverted Bob

Long Inverted Bob Haircuts

An long inverted bob is a variation of the classic bob, which is more shorter in length. Traditionally a bob haircut retains the same length of hair at the back and front. The long inverted haircuts or the graduated bob haircut on the other hand is cut very short at the back, almost to the nape and is left long at the front. It is cut asymmetrically and it has a lot of height in the crown area. The longer hair at the front, frames the face, softening the look of the long inverted bob haircut. The reason it is called a long inverted bob is because it is just opposite to the traditional bob hairstyle and is much longer at the front.

Long inverted bob is one of the most sexy and glamorous styles and it is also called The Pob, since it was worn by Victoria Beckham. This hairstyle is suitable for those women who are not afraid to experiment and has thick hair with sharp or gamine features. It is not a good haircut for women with round face or thin hair. As long inverted bob accentuates the bone structure of a woman, therefore it is suitable for those women who have high cheekbones and a sharp jawline. This style is also quite high maintenance and a regular trim is necessary to maintain the best looks.

The best thing about long inverted bob haircut is that you can play around with different looks. Ask your stylist to give you a long inverted bob with fringe cut asymmetrically for a chic and sophisticated look. To style this look, all you need to do is part your hair on the side and the bangs will fall over one eye. Use a hairspray with a good hold to keep bangs in place. This is a very good style for those women who have a triangular face shape as it diverts attention from the prominent chin and accentuates the eyes. Celebrities who are seen with long inverted bob with bangs are Nicole Ritchie, Paris Hilton and Katie Holmes.

Other ways to add some more oomph to a long inverted bob hairstyle is to opt for hair highlights. Highlights in blonde or chocolate done at strategic sections at the front of the hair gives this style a whole new look. This sophisticated hairstyle is incredibly versatile as you can opt to have your hair parted at the center or at the side. The long inverted bob is all about volume at the crown and length at the front, so you need to invest in a good volumizing shampoo and conditioner.
