Honestly, there is nothing more effortlessly chic than a classic chin-skimming bob paired with sharp, full bangs! It gives that timeless French-girl minimalism that never goes out of style. If you've been on the fence about cutting bangs, this clean blunt cut is the ultimate sign to just go for it!
How to do this
1. Start on freshly cleansed, damp hair and prep with a lightweight leave-in smoothing lotion using the smoothing blowout cream listed below to combat any flyaways.
2. Mist your strands thoroughly with the heat protectant spray listed below to shield your hair during hot tool styling.
3. Blow dry your fringe first straight down using the boar bristle round brush listed below, sweeping side to side slightly before setting it directly over the forehead to keep it flat and neat.
4. Section the rest of your hair into horizontal layers and blow dry smoothly with the round brush, slightly rolling the ends inward to create that subtle bevel.
5. For a pin-straight, ultra-clean perimeter, take small vertical sections and glide the ceramic flat iron listed below through the lengths, gently turning your wrist inward just at the tips.
6. Finish off by smoothing a drop of the nourishing hair serum listed below through mid-lengths and ends for a mirror-like shine.
I fell in love with this style while searching for an updo that looks effortlessly chic without feeling stiff or overdone. The way the braided details intertwine into the smooth low bun highlights dimension in blonde or highlighted hair beautifully. It’s perfect for weddings, garden parties, or date nights when you want an elegant look that actually stays in place all evening!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, dry hair with a spritz of the texturizing spray listed below to give your strands grip and light volume before styling.
2. Gently tease the crown section using the fine-tooth tail comb listed below to create soft lift at the back of the head, smoothing over the top layer lightly.
3. Section away the front sides just above the ears, and gather the remaining back hair into a low ponytail at the nape using a clear elastic band.
4. Form a smooth, rounded low chignon or rolled bun with the ponytail, securing it tightly against the nape using the matte bobby pins listed below.
5. Take the side hair sections and create two soft, loose French or Dutch accent braids moving toward the back, gently pulling the edges (pancaking) for extra width and romance.
6. Cross the braids over the top of the bun, tucking the remaining braid tails underneath the roll and pinning them discreetly into place.
7. Finish the entire style by misting with the flexible hold hairspray listed below to tame flyaways while keeping a natural, touchable finish.
The ultimate quick and cute everyday style! I’m obsessed with a casual half-up top knot when you want your hair out of your face but still want to show off your length and loose waves. Leaving those two soft blonde pieces out in front frames the face so nicely, and the cool ashy balayage gives the whole bun the prettiest dimension. It's chic, easy, and looks like you didn't try too hard.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp hair with the lightweight heat protectant spray listed below, then blow-dry smooth with a large round brush to give the roots some natural lift.
2. Using the 1.25-inch ceramic curling iron listed below, wrap vertical sections away from your face to create loose, relaxed S-waves through the mid-lengths and ends.
3. Section out two delicate front tendrils around your face and leave them loose to frame your features.
4. Gather the top third of your hair at the crown, gently pull it back, and secure it into a small loop or messy bun using the clear mini elastic hair ties listed below.
5. Gently tug at the loops of the top knot and pinch the hair on top of your head to add soft texture and volume.
6. Finish the look by misting all over with the flexible hold texturizing spray listed below to keep the waves undone and touchable all day.
Oh, this textured pixie cut is an absolute dream! The piecey layers and sweeping side bangs give it such a sharp, effortless cool-girl edge. Paired with those dimensional ash blonde babylights, it's just perfection. Would you ever be brave enough to chop it this short?
How to do this
1. Start by washing hair with a lightweight volumizing shampoo and conditioner to prep the strands without weighing down the roots.
2. On towel-damp hair, apply a dime-sized amount of the lightweight styling mousse listed below evenly through the roots and mid-lengths.
3. Using a blow dryer and the small vent brush listed below, dry the sides and back downwards flat to the head.
4. For the top and crown, direct the airflow from roots to ends while sweeping the hair forward and diagonally across the forehead to create that piecey, dynamic sweep.
5. Warm a pea-sized amount of the matte styling pomade listed below between your fingertips and gently rake through the top layers to separate pieces and define the texture.
6. Finish with a quick spritz of the flexible hold texturizing spray listed below to lock the shape in place while keeping it touchable.
