The Blunt Collarbone Lob: Is It Your Next Cut?
What the Blunt Collarbone Lob is, who it suits, and how to make sure it works on your face.
What is the Blunt Collarbone Lob?
The Blunt Collarbone Lob is one of the most-requested looks right now — but "requested" and "right for you" aren't the same thing. The details that make it work are in the blend, the length, and how it sits with your hair's natural fall.
Who it suits
- Face shape matters more than the trend. The same cut reads differently on a round face than a long one.
- Your hair type sets the ceiling. Straight, wavy, and curly hair each hold this shape differently.
- Upkeep is part of the deal. Some versions look sharp for weeks; others blur in days.
How to ask for it
Bring a photo — a name alone leaves too much to interpretation. Ask for the Blunt Collarbone Lob by name, say how short you want the sides ("blend" vs "tight"), and name the length you want to keep on top. Agree the neckline (tapered, blocked, or natural) before the clippers start.
Upkeep
Ask your barber two things before you leave: how often you'll need a trim to keep the shape, and which product gives this exact finish. A Blunt Collarbone Lob with the right product and the same cut with nothing in it can look like two different haircuts.
See it on your face first
The safest way to know the Blunt Collarbone Lob is your cut is to see it on your own face before you sit down. HairMatch AI renders it photoreal on your selfie in seconds — so you walk into the chair sure, not guessing.
