  intro: "The lob sits in the territory between shoulder and chin — roughly collarbone length, give or take an inch in either direction. It's the length that people accidentally discover when they're growing out a bob, or trimming after a long period of neglect. What they discover is that it has more going for it than either of its neighbours. Longer than a bob, it handles more textures and sits better without much effort. Shorter than shoulder-length, it has shape without weighing the ends down. The lob is the great middle ground — and that's not faint praise.",

  defn: {
    h: "What length is actually a lob",
    body: "A lob (long bob) falls between the chin and the collarbone — most commonly at or just above the collarbone. That two-inch range is the difference between a cut that skims the jaw and one that grazes the shoulder. Lobs are typically cut with a weight line like a bob, but with more length to play with: waves sit without distorting, fine hair doesn't look flat at the ends, and the cut works in or out of a ponytail.",

  myths: [
    { m: "A lob and a long bob are different cuts.",
      t: "They're the same thing. Lob is just the portmanteau. If it falls anywhere between chin and collarbone, it qualifies." },
    { m: "A lob works for everyone.",
      t: "Almost. The one person it can challenge is someone with a very wide jaw and round face, where the weight line landing at the widest point adds width. An off-centre part or subtle angle usually solves this." },
    { m: "A lob needs less maintenance than a bob.",
      t: "True if you want a relaxed result. But a precise, sharp lob needs the same 6-week trim cadence. The difference is what you lose if you wait eight weeks — a bob gets shapeless; a lob just gets longer." },
