Hot Summer Hair: The New Lob

The grown-out bob is a universally flattering style that’s set to stay.

This face-framer is worn around shoulder-length and suits everyone, says Pantene ambassador Barney Martin, who cites January Jones, Taylor Swift and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as trailblazers for the trend.

Insider tip: Moving away from the sleek lob of last season, the new look is "flatter at the roots and wider at the mid-lengths and ends. Longer, soft layers encourage hair to move."

You’ll need: Styling is a cinch. "With your head upside down, apply a volumising or texturising spray to damp lengths, then blast the roots with a hairdryer until dry. Use cold air to set, flick hair back and spritz a wax underneath the layers," advises Martin.
