6. Mist lightly with the flexible hold hairspray listed below and run a drop of the nourishing hair serum listed below through the layered ends for extreme shine and flyaway control.
Are you completely obsessed with that chic, effortless French-girl vibe too? I just had to include this soft wavy lob because it truly delivers that perfect blend of casual and classy, don't you think?! The soft wispy bangs frame the face in such a flattering way, while the subtle honey blonde balayage adds that gorgeous, sun-kissed dimension without being high maintenance. It's cozy, romantic, and so easy to style for coffee dates or cozy sweater weather!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping freshly washed, damp hair with the lightweight blowout heat protectant spray listed below to shield your hair and add touchable softness.
2. Blow-dry the bangs straight down with a small round boar bristle brush, moving side-to-side to create that soft, separated wispy finish.
3. Rough-dry the rest of the hair until it's about 90% dry, then use a medium round ceramic blowout brush to smooth the lengths while keeping plenty of natural body.
4. Take random 1.5-inch vertical sections and wrap them loosely around the 1.25-inch curling iron listed below, leaving the bottom inch out for that lived-in, relaxed wave vibe.
5. Alternate the curl directions away from and toward the face, but keep the pieces framing your cheekbones turned gently away.
6. Once the curls have completely cooled down, shake them out thoroughly using your fingers and a spritz of the dry texturizing spray listed below at the roots and mid-lengths.
7. Finish the look by running a drop of the smoothing finishing hair oil listed below lightly through the ends to add shine and tame any stray flyaways.
This is a go-to haircut if you love the effortless, lived-in look but still want a soft frame around your eyes and cheekbones. The wispy curtain bangs are super forgiving—if you wake up and they look a little flat, just give them a quick two-minute blast with a round brush and you're good to walk out the door.
How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, towel-dried hair and apply a lightweight smoothing blowout cream using the heat protectant and blowout smoothing cream listed below to protect against heat damage and add slip.
2. Section out the fringe and face-framing pieces first. Blow-dry the center wispy bangs using a small to medium ceramic round brush, rolling them forward and slightly under, then splitting them gently in the center.
3. Work on the sides by blowing out the longer face-framing layers backward and away from the face to create that soft, winged curtain sweep.
4. Dry the remaining lengths using a large round brush, directing the ends outward or loosely curling mid-lengths with a 1.25-inch curling iron to form gentle, cascading body waves.
5. Mist a light spritz of the flexible hold texturizing spray listed below through the roots and mid-lengths to give lift and separation without stiffness.
6. Finish by smoothing a tiny drop of lightweight hair oil over the tips to tame flyaways and enhance shine.
The effortless blonde lob with soft waves. Such a gorgeous, everyday classic! I love how the subtle shadow root keeps it low-maintenance while the bright face-framing strands instantly illuminate your face. It's the ultimate chic style that works just as well with a cozy turtleneck as it does dressed up for a night out.
How to do this
1. Start with clean, damp hair and prep from roots to ends using the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands and add slip.
2. Apply a dime-sized amount of smoothing blowout cream through the mid-lengths and ends to fight frizz and ensure a sleek base.
3. Create a crisp center part with a tail comb, then blow-dry using a medium ceramic round brush, lifting at the roots for subtle body and beveling the ends softly.
4. Take a 1.25-inch curling iron and wrap large 2-inch vertical sections away from the face, leaving the bottom inch out for an effortless, modern bend rather than a tight curl.
5. Allow all curls to cool completely, then gently rake through the waves with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to blend the texture.
6. Mist lightly with the texturizing finishing spray listed below to give the layers airy separation and long-lasting flexible hold.
I first fell in love with subtle hair tinsel during festival season last year, and honestly, it's such an easy way to elevate everyday straight hair! It gives that magical, sparkling catch-light effect whenever you turn your head without any chemical commitment or damage. All you need is a bone-straight flat iron press and a few tied-in tinsel strands to look completely put-together. If you want something whimsical yet super chic, definitely give fairy hair a try!
How to do this
1. Start by washing and conditioning your hair to prep for an ultra-sleek, glossy finish, then apply a dime-sized amount of smoothing blowout serum to damp strands.
2. Blow dry the hair straight down with a paddle brush, using a concentrator nozzle to ensure the cuticle lies completely flat.
3. Create a razor-sharp center part from the front hairline back to the crown using a fine-tooth rat tail comb.
4. Mist the hair with the heat protectant spray listed below, then pass a ceramic flat iron down small 1-inch sections to create that pin-straight, reflective glass-hair texture.
5. Take individual strands of sparkling gold hair tinsel using the hair tinsel kit listed below. Fold a strand in half to form a slip knot.
6. Select 2-3 hairs at the root near the part line, loop the tinsel around them, and pull tight into a micro slip knot right at the scalp to secure.
7. Repeat installing 15-25 tinsel strands evenly across the top layer and sides of your head.
8. Finish the entire style with a light mist of the shine spray listed below to seal in brilliance without making the hair stiff.
