1. Start by prepping damp, freshly washed hair with a lightweight smoothing primer and the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands from hot styling tools.
2. Apply a dollop of volumizing mousse through the roots and mid-lengths to give the blowout lasting body and bounce.
3. Section the hair into manageable horizontal tiers, starting from the nape of the neck up toward the crown.
4. Using the large ceramic round brush listed below and a focused concentrator nozzle on your blow dryer, smooth each section while rolling the ends under toward the chest to create that fluid, inward curve.
5. When working on the face-framing curtain layers, blow-dry the hair upwards and away from the face to create a soft, sweeping swoop that opens up the cheekbones.
6. Once dry, smooth a tiny drop of the lightweight hair styling serum listed below over the ends to eliminate flyaways and enhance the icy platinum shine.
7. Finish the look with a light mist of the flexible hold hairspray listed below to lock in the shape without losing natural movement.
This is a go-to hairstyle if you want that effortless, cool-girl energy without having to spend hours in front of the mirror. It's chic, bouncy, and works just as well for running daytime errands as it does for golden hour dates. If your waves fall slightly during the day, just flip your head upside down and give it a quick spritz of texturizing spray to bring back instant body.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping towel-dried hair with the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands from hot styling tools.
2. Blow-dry using a paddle brush or round brush to smooth out the base, focusing on lifting roots slightly for natural body.
3. Section hair horizontally starting from the nape. Take 1 to 1.5-inch sections and wrap them loosely around the 1.25-inch curling iron listed below, leaving the bottom inch of ends uncurled for that modern, relaxed finish.
4. Alternate the curl direction away from the face as you reach the front sections to softly open up your cheekbones.
5. Once cooled completely, rake your fingers gently through the curls to break them up into loose waves.
6. Mist the dry texturizing spray listed below through the mid-lengths and ends while shaking your hair to add airy separation and volume.
7. Finish by rubbing a drop of the nourishing hair oil listed below between your palms and smoothing lightly over flyaways and ends for healthy shine.
This look is the ultimate fun, rock-and-roll curly shag with a subtle mullet vibe. It's cut with lots of playful, short layers on top and around the forehead to give you full, bouncy fringe, while leaving a little extra length at the back. Honey-golden highlights are painted directly onto individual ringlets so every spiral pops with bright dimension.
How to do this
1. Start on freshly cleansed, dripping wet curls after washing with a hydrating curl shampoo and conditioner.
2. Rake a generous amount of curl defining cream through all sections from roots to tips using the curl defining styling cream listed below to lock in essential moisture.
3. Apply a firm yet flexible hold gel using the curl defining styling gel listed below using the 'praying hands' method over the lengths to seal each ringlet cluster.
4. Use your fingers to twirl and define individual curls around the crown, fringe, and temples, setting the curly mullet shape in place.
5. Attach a universal diffuser to your blow dryer using the collapsible hair diffuser attachment listed below, and dry on medium heat and low speed, cupping curls upwards without touching them directly.
6. Once the hair is 100% dry and has a slight gel cast, warm a few drops of lightweight hair oil in your palms using the lightweight jojoba hair oil listed below and gently scrunch the crunch to reveal soft, springy, dimensional ringlets.
Are you loving this effortlessly chic, French-girl aesthetic as much as I am? I just had to include this soft layered lob because it strikes the ultimate balance between low-key styling and serious style! The wispy bottleneck fringe frames the eyes beautifully without overpowering your face, while the feathered layers bring tons of lightweight body and movement. Whether you let it air dry with a spritz of wave spray or give it a quick messy bend with a curling wand, it looks effortlessly put-together every single time!
How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, towel-dried hair and apply a lightweight volumizing mousse through the roots and mid-lengths using the weightless styling mousse listed below.
2. Blow-dry the bangs first using a medium round ceramic brush listed below, directing the airflow down and slightly under, then sweeping the edges gently outward to create that soft bottleneck shape.
3. Rough-dry the rest of the hair with a blow dryer until it's about 80% dry, then section hair and smooth with a round brush to encourage soft movement on the layered ends.
4. For effortless texture, take random 1-inch sections and add a slight bend using a 1.25-inch curling iron listed below, alternating directions and leaving the ends straight.
5. Finish by spraying a generous mist of the dry texturizing spray listed below through the mid-lengths and shaking out the waves with your fingers for an undone, lived-in feel.
OK, if you’re looking to bring some serious edge into your style, this deep midnight blue lob is it! Keeping a natural shadow root makes vivid colors so much easier to grow out, and paired with undone bends, it totally gives that effortlessly cool rock-and-roll vibe.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, damp hair by applying a dime-sized amount of the heat protectant cream listed below throughout your mid-lengths and ends to shield pre-lightened vivid hair from damage.
2. Blow-dry the hair completely smooth with a round brush, maintaining volume at the roots while keeping the natural density intact.
3. Divide your hair horizontally into three manageable sections and clip the top away.
4. Take one-inch vertical subsections and wrap them loosely around a medium barrel curling iron or styling wand, leaving about an inch of the ends out for that effortless, modern undone finish.
5. Alternate the direction of your curls—curling one piece away from the face and the next toward it—to give the texture plenty of body without clustering together.
6. Once the entire head has cooled, flip your head upside down and generously mist the dry texturizing spray listed below through the roots and mid-lengths to break up the wave pattern.
7. Flip upright and smooth out any flyaways around the center part, finishing with a couple of drops of the lightweight shine hair oil listed below pressed into the blue tips to keep the color glossy and hydrated.
