About Lisa Bob:

This medium-length hairstyle is a modern take on the classic A-line Bob haircut. Moving forward, the type of Bob or Lob Hairstyles that will be trending in Asia are:

- Semi-soft finish with face-framing layers
- Slightly imperfect without clean lines 
- Not exceptionally sleek
- Low degree of bluntness

* The reason why we call this a Lisa Bob Hairstyle is because Bob haircuts have taken Asia by storm (especially amongst the younger generation) thanks to Lisa from Blackpink.

Psst... In Q4 2021, Korean actress Jun Ji Hyun was spotted at a press conference with a Lisa Bob hair transformation. Selena Gomez too was showing off her new classic bob haircut on TikTok!
