Eden gets a “Lob”
Read full article: Eden gets a “Lob”Eden educated Rance and Producer Tom when she came back from a visit to her hairstylist Nancy Neff at Calypso Salon.

Unlike the classic chin-length bob, a lob offers a softer, more feminine silhouette and greater styling options, thanks to its medium length. It can be worn blunt and straight, subtly layered, textured, or styled with waves or curls for added movement and dimension. The lob is renowned for being flattering on a wide range of face shapes, offering a low-maintenance yet fashionable look that has been embraced by celebrities and style icons alike.
