How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, damp hair and prep from roots to ends with the volumizing root lift spray and heat protectant cream listed below.
2. Section your hair into manageable tiers, beginning at the nape of the neck, and use a round ceramic blowout brush with a hairdryer to smooth through the lengths while rolling the ends under.
3. When you reach the crown and face-framing curtain layers, blow dry the hair upward and backward away from the face to create that sweeping, swoopy lift.
4. Immediately roll the top and front face-framing sections into large velcro hair rollers while the hair is still warm, securing them in place to cool and set the bouncy volume.
5. Once cooled completely, remove the rollers gently, shake your hair out with your fingers, and mist with a flexible hold finishing hairspray to keep the shape soft and full all day.
I think this textured blunt lob is hands down one of the most flattering, easy-to-wear cuts you can try if you want blonde without high-maintenance roots. The dark shadow root melt gives it that effortless, cool-girl vibe while letting your natural regrowth blend in smoothly. To get that perfectly undone finish, just curl a few random pieces away from your face and tousle it all up with a generous blast of texturizing spray!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, towel-dried hair with a lightweight heat protectant spray with argan oil listed below to safeguard your bleached blonde ends from heat damage.
2. Apply a dollop of volumizing root lift mousse listed below right at your roots and flip your head upside down while rough blow-drying to maximize natural body and crown lift.
3. Once your hair is about 90% dry, grab a medium ceramic round hair brush listed below and smooth the lengths in medium sections, rolling the ends slightly under while lifting at the scalp for maximum bounce.
4. Take a 1.25-inch ceramic curling wand or iron listed below and wrap alternating 1-to-2-inch vertical sections loosely around the barrel, leaving the bottom inch out to keep that modern, blunt silhouette.
5. Use your fingers to break up the curls and create that undone, lived-in texture, then mist thoroughly with the dry texturizing spray listed below through the mid-lengths and crown for separation and hold.
This hairstyle is super cute and bohemian, which makes it my absolute go-to for music festivals or casual weekend coffee dates – adding those two little front braids takes barely two minutes and elevates basic waves instantly!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, dry hair with a generous mist of the heat protectant spray listed below to shield your lightened strands.
2. Using a 1.25-inch curling iron or wand, take 1- to 2-inch sections throughout your hair and curl them away from your face to create soft, relaxed beach waves.
3. Once all the curls have cooled, gently comb through them using the wide-tooth comb listed below to soften them into loose S-waves.
4. Create a clean center part, then section out a small triangle of hair on either side about an inch back from your hairline, leaving a couple of delicate face-framing strands loose in front.
5. Divide each small triangular section into three equal strands and plait a tight three-strand micro braid down the length, securing the ends with the mini clear elastic hair ties listed below.
6. Lightly spray the mid-lengths and ends with the texturizing finishing spray listed below and finish with a drop of the nourishing hair serum listed below on the ends for extra shine and separation.
