Suave Professionals Celebrity Stylist Marcus Francis chopped off three inches of Hilary Duff’s hair last week, creating a blunt “lob,” or long bob, that will be popping up on the scene this summer as the cut to flaunt during the warmer months. Check out the photos below to see the transformation in action!

“The cut is slightly angled with a shorter length in the back than the front for a chic, edgy finish,” says Marcus.
