21. Wavy Lob with Clips
Take the cutest hair clips you have and slide them nicely onto your hair. Feel free to mix and match different clips for a chic and playful look. This doesn’t even take five minutes to do.
22. Tousled Layered Lob
A slightly messy look also works on long bobs and shoulder-length hair. If you’re not fond of using a curling iron or a flat iron to achieve those waves, try heatless hacks like sock curls or using bobby pins to create tousled hair. The result is just as awesome sans the risk of heat damage.
