One strong line, shoulder-length
Blunt Lob
A shoulder-skimming length cut with a strong, weighted line across the bottom — a lob with real presence rather than a soft taper.

Why it works, texture and upkeep
Why it can work
The blunt weight line gives shoulder-length hair a defined edge instead of letting it trail off, so the length reads as intentional rather than just 'grown out.'
Texture fit
Works with straight and wavy hair, where the weight line stays visible; a flat iron or blowout keeps the ends looking uniformly blunt.
Daily effort and upkeep
Medium upkeep — a trim every 6–10 weeks keeps the line from splitting into wispy ends, with 5–10 minutes of daily styling.
