Sexy Long Bob

Classic meets scintillating in Kerry Washington's va-va-voom lob. To keep the look smooth and frizz-free, work a quarter-size dollop of Living Proof Leave-In Conditioner($27) through damp hair. After blow-drying, use two drops of Verb Ghost Weightless Oil($20) for extra shine.

Retro Long Bob

While a bit longer than the traditional lob, Kylie Jenner's flipped-out coif is giving major retro vibes. To get those iconic rounded ends, blow-dry your hair with a small round brush and set your strands with hairspray.

Dimensional Long Bob

Visually effortless hair is here to stay (need we explain why?). Millie Bobby Brown's soft lob, complete with barely-there curtain bangs and strands of caramel color, is where it's at. "Curtain bangs are perfect for someone who wants bangs but doesn't want to wait to grow them out. The shortest piece should be cut to the bridge of your nose and go longer from there," says Gillen.

Coiled Long Bob

Yara Shahidi's curly lob is lush and lustrous as can be. We love the effortless, laid-back look for the summer scene.

Wet-Look Long Bob

JLo's honey-hued lob is totally one for the books. The wet-look style is yet another example of how celebs can't get enough of this hair trend.

Crinkled Long Bob

Hairstylist Jen Atkin was responsible for putting Chrissy Teigen's long bob on the map. We love how the cool crinkled texture provides shape and structure to the otherwise blunt cut.

Glam Long Bob

Zendaya's transition to the long-bob length can aptly be declared "the lob heard around the world." With tons of soft layers, ample volume, and loads of coveted bounce, this is one glam 'do.

Shapely Long Bob

When it comes to the appeal of a long bob, where do we even start? Olga Kurylenko's 'do is versatile, low-maintenance, and super stylish. "Lobs are the best of both worlds. I love a good collarbone lob; it's a strong shape that perfectly frames the face. I think women love the ease of styling a lob," says Gillen.

Blunt Long Bob

One of the most versatile and easy-to-style lobs is the blunt cut. To mimic Union's look, blast a texture spray (we love Kristin Ess Dry Finish Working Texture Spray, $15) from roots to mid-shaft for a quick, lived-in style.

Soft Long Bob

Those with heart-, diamond-, and square-shaped faces might be interested in Natalie Portman's 'do, one of Gillen's favorite lob looks. "l love these soft flowing waves in her one-length lob. It's great to soften a face shape with lots of angles," he says. Use Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray ($7) before curling with your 1.5-inch barrel iron, instructs Gillen.

Romantic Long Bob

To maintain a soft, low-key cut like Gomez's, use Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream ($52). Work a small amount through damp hair to add moisture and eliminate frizz. Tousle with fingers for an undone finish.

Glossy Long Bob

If you're looking for a face-framing cut but are a little less traditional, this asymmetrical blunt bob/lob might be for you. Cheekbone-, chin-, and collarbone-grazing waves hit all the right notes while the deep side part adds elegance and sophistication, notes Rivera. She recommends styling with shine spray and her By Gina loose hold Clutch Hairspray ($17).

Sleek Long Bob

The combination of the deep side part and sleek texture gives Mila's long bob a directional feel.Grab a flat iron and the best hair straightening products to get this elegant and structured style. Or for something more semi-permanent, consider a Brazilian-blowout at home.

Asymmetric Long Bob

We love the idea of an asymmetrical lob for thick, full hair texture like Chopra's. To play up your volume and texture, apply IGK's aptly named Beach Club Volume Texture Spray ($34) from roots to ends, using your hands to distribute the product.

Effortless Long Bob

Clarke's full, shoulder-length cut is perfect for the low-maintenance girl. Messy texture keeps a lob effortless and current, comments Gillen. Blast roots with a blow-dryer for added volume and body, or revive a day-old style with Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo ($28).

Voluminous Long Bob

The key to styling a curly lob like Knowles's is to keep hair super moisturized. Work Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk ($14) through damp hair to detangle, shine, and protect natural hair. Incorporating long layers into your cut will also give your lob shape.

Defined Long Bob

While we love the idea of a relaxed, air-dried lob, there's no harm in adding definition and curls from time to time, like Stone. Prime your hair with Ouai’s heavenly scented Heat Protection Spray ($28) and use Ghd's Curve Classic Wave Wand ($205) to create easy natural-looking curls.

Shaggy Long Bob

In terms of current hair trends, Gillen cites a shaggy lob (aka a square-shaped haircut) as a much sought-after look. Here, he says Taraji P. Henson's shaggy lob reads as sexy and spunky, thanks to flirty layers that he recommends styling with a texturizing spray.

Straight Long Bob

Lisa Kudrow's blunt shoulder-grazing lob is flattering in oh so many ways. To achieve this style, Rivera recommends applying a volumizing mousse at your roots. Then, using a large round brush, gently turn the ends under to create volume when drying hair. "Parting the hair off-center can add volume and flair to the style," she notes. Finish with a shine serum spray for added gloss.

Curly Long Bob

If your hair has got a natural curl or wave, work with your texture. For undone but subtle waves like Monica's, spray R+Co. Sail Soft Wave Spray ($18) through damp hair, scrunching with your fingers. The vitamin C–loaded formula leaves hair soft, shiny, and naturally wavy.

Blown-Out Long Bob

If you've got fine to medium hair, a style that will achieve fullness and body might be what you're after. Christine Baranski's round-brush blowout is classic and lends lots of volume and body to hair, Gillen tells us. To achieve her look, he suggests styling with Sachajuan Root Lift ($35) and Styling Cream ($37).

Center-Parted Long Bob

There is nothing we don't love about this haircut—from the smooth center part and easy wavesto the golden highlights and serious shine.Now if only we had Olivia Palermo's beauty secrets... oh, wait, we do.

Bright Long Bob

A long bob is a great length if you want to dabble with peroxide. It's hard to keep hair in good condition when it's that blonde (especially after a disaster at the salon), so a fresh cut with long layers will ensure it looks its best.

Fringed Long Bob

With a full fringe and blunt ends, Bella Hadid's lob gives off serious'80s vibes. Ensureyourlong bob looks glossy and smooth, too, by misting with a finishing spray.

Tousled Long Bob

A littledry shampoo or texturizing spray—Gillen recommends Sachajuan Ocean Mist Hair Cream ($36)—will give the hair an airy texture à la Alexa Chung. It works best on medium to thick density hair. The ombré color with a few flyaways is the perfect imperfect finish to this tousled look.

Beachy Long Bob

One of the most sought-after long bob haircuts is a blunt, super-texturized, and wavy look. If your hair falls flat naturally, enlist the help of a wave spray like Ouai Wave Spray ($28). Mist the lightweight product through damp or dry hair for undone texture like Lucy Hale's, or focus on the roots for volume.

Classic Long Bob

With barely any layers and blunt ends, a long bob can be worn sleek or tonged for a beachier feel.It's seriously versatile; even this sweeping side fringe can be worn center-parted as a curtain fringeor disguised into an updo. Yep, long bobs can easily be pulled up.

Swept-Back Long Bob

The Star Wars actress shows off yet another way to wear the lob: swept back from the face. It's a softer interpretation of the trendy slicked-back look, and in that sense, we find it more wearable.

Bouncy Long Bob

Proving that a long bob looks great even if your hair is super thick, RHW's side-swept lob is the stuff dreams are made of. Use a barrel brush to blow-dry the edges out for a '60s take.

Layered Long Bob

Perfectly put-together hair is boring. Instead, opt for a choppy, layered cut that is edgy and undone. You can take Gillen's word for it: "Lobs are perfect for next-day hair, tousled and the appearance of shape and structure with a carefree feel."
