Mid length is where most of my lob clients actually land, somewhere between the shoulder and collarbone, with just enough texture cut in that they’re not fighting their hair every morning. This is the sweet spot length, honestly, the one that works for the most face shapes and hair types.
Here are twelve ways I bring texture to this specific mid length lob.
Mid Length With Point-Cut Ends
Instead of a blunt line at this length, point cutting breaks up the ends so the whole shape feels lighter and less severe.
Layered Mid Length for Movement
A few well-placed layers at this length add bounce without losing the overall shape that makes the mid length lob so wearable.
Texturizing at Mid Length for Fine Hair
Lighter texturizing techniques keep this length from looking stringy on fine hair while still adding that lived-in feel.
Texturizing at Mid Length for Thick Hair
Thicker hair can handle heavier texturizing at this length, removing bulk while keeping the mid length silhouette intact.
Styling Mid Length for Everyday Wear
This length is genuinely fast to style, a quick wave with a one-inch iron or just air-drying with texture spray both work beautifully.
Why Mid Length Works for Most Face Shapes
This length hits at a point that elongates most faces slightly while still framing the jaw, which is why I recommend it so often in consultations.
