To not have known what an ombre lob was?

[jennymanara]

I read it on here and googled it. Some of the photos of this look really nice. But I had wondered why some of the woman I see looked so "made up" but had let their roots grow back so much.

I didn't know what the "lob" part meant.

I always thought a lob was a type of worm - O assumed it was something to do with fishing...

What is ombre lob?

Lob = long bob

Ombre - that hair colour that's lighter at the ends than at the root. Usually photographed after being curled because otherwise it looks like someone fell backwards into a mop bucket full of bleach

Were you on the nursery thread OP?

Lol I read that OP and have to say it was quite a good description of many of the thirty something Mums I saw in Kew Gardens last weekend.

Oh shit. I have an ombre lob and I didn't even know!!

Hairdresser always calls mine a "Balayage" or "root stretch" though.

I didn't know either. Or loads of the labels mentioned.

I read that and assumed 'lob' was a typo for 'bob'! I knew ombre though so probably my mental image wasn't far out 😁

Haha that's what my hair looked like 2 years after growing a permanent hair dye out. Can't believe people pay £££ for it. Can look quite nice if done properly.
Think I'll go back to a lob.

@Crunchymum yes

Isn't it just an updated version of the 'can I speak to the manager?' haircut?

Round here, a lob means an erection.
So I was a bit at the title.

Haha @supersop60 same here! (Although I haven't heard it for years 😂). Usually uttered as a question ie 'Did you see Big Dave?...he got a right 'lob on' when Busty Bab walked past!'

(Reverted right back to 1973 😳😂)

NorthernKnickers I really really want to live in the 70s with you and Big Dave and Busty Babs! I reckon I'd fit right in 😂

I was planning on having this done but I ain’t no Yummy Mummy for sure...

Lob 😂 that's rude where I've just moved from, as in "I got a right lob on when I saw my missus is that sexy dress".

'He's got a lob on' means something else round here as supersop said, so God knows what people would think if 'he had an ombre lob on instead!

I didnt know that

The 'design led' nursery thread? It was a very vivid picture

I have one of those OP by mistake it's called growing your roots out

Around here it is called a balayage and I pay crazy money to get it done. Get tons of complements on my hair now. It was just depressing before and this is a great low maintenance style.

Of course, I thought that nursery sounded perfect so I might not be the target audience for this particular thread.

I reckon it's short for lobotomy, 'cause when they follow a trend like sheep that's what they look like they have had.

I asked about having this done at my hairdressers as it’s very popular in the area.

I was advised it was too high maintenance for me which is sadly very true plus I worry what work would have said. I liked to imagine the colours I would have had though.
