Lobs are going to be the "it" haircut of 2016! They are low maintenance, versatile, and so easy to style. They're also the perfect wear-as-is hairstyle if you couldn't be bothered with things like styling. Stayglam.com shared some stunning lob ideas that you're going to want to try ASAP!
1. A-line Lob
An A-line bob is longer in the front and shorter at the back and looks great on practically every face shape!
2. Pink Lob
Pastel pinks and purples will continue to rule the roost in 2016.
