I think a textured shag lob paired with a soft, smoky pastel tone is the ultimate effortless cool-girl statement. The gentle shadow root keeps the high-lift lavender color grounded, while the piecey bangs frame the face perfectly. You can wear this blown out smooth for a sleek finish or scrunch in some texture spray for that perfectly undone leather jacket look!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, towel-dried hair with a lightweight styling mousse using the volumizing mousse listed below to give the cut lift and separation.
2. Blow-dry the bangs straight down with a small flat paddle brush using the flat styling paddle brush listed below, sweeping them side to side gently to keep them soft and wispy without puffing up.
3. Rough-dry the remaining lengths using your fingers or a diffuser attachment to encourage your natural texture and soft bends.
4. Take random 1-inch sections of hair and lightly wrap them around a wide barrel wand using the 1.25-inch ceramic curling wand listed below, leaving the ends completely straight for that effortless, undone vibe.
5. Mist a generous amount of texturizing spray through the mid-lengths and ends using the dry texturizing finishing spray listed below, shaking out the waves with your fingers.
6. To keep the cool smoky lilac shade from turning brassy between salon visits, wash weekly with a violet-tinted cleanser using the purple toning shampoo listed below.
This rich burgundy wavy lob is so effortlessly chic and flattering, which makes it my absolute go-to for coffee dates or city strolls when you want to look put together without trying too hard – I wore this cut on my last vacation and got endless compliments!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping freshly washed, towel-dried hair with a lightweight styling mousse and the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands from hot styling tools.
2. Blow dry the bangs using a small round ceramic brush, rolling them forward and slightly upward, then parting them in the center so they fall softly into curtain-style bottleneck bangs.
3. Rough-dry the rest of the hair with a paddle brush or diffuser until completely dry, lifting at the roots to ensure natural, airy body.
4. Take random 1- to 2-inch vertical sections of hair and wrap them loosely around a 1.25-inch curling iron, leaving the last inch of the ends out to maintain that modern, relaxed blunt finish.
5. Alternate the curl direction between clockwise and counter-clockwise away from and towards the face to create dynamic, lived-in texture.
6. Once the curls have cooled, break them apart gently with your fingers or a wide-tooth detangling comb.
7. Spray the dry texturizing spray listed below through the mid-lengths and roots to add volume and piecey separation.
8. Finish off with a light mist of flexible hold hairspray and a tiny dab of hair shine serum on the ends for a rich, glossy burgundy glow.
A collarbone lob like this is pretty much the ultimate sweet spot if you want something fresh without sacrificing styling options. I love how the soft layers flick right around the shoulders and frame the cheekbones so naturally. It gives that polished, "I just naturally woke up with gorgeous hair" vibe that works whether you're working from home in a tee or heading out for dinner.
How to do this
1. Start on damp, freshly washed hair and apply a quarter-sized amount of the lightweight heat protectant smoothing lotion listed below evenly from mid-lengths to ends.
2. Establish a neat center part using a fine-tooth tail comb, then section hair horizontally into manageable working quadrants.
3. Blow dry using a medium ceramic round brush listed below, lifting at the roots for gentle volume and rolling the brush outward at the ends to create a soft, bouncy flick.
4. For the front face-framing sections, roll the hair up and back away from the face with the round brush to encourage that signature curtain shape around the cheekbones.
5. Once fully dry, spray a light mist of the flexible hold texturizing spray listed below through the roots and mid-lengths to give movement without stiffness.
6. Finish off by rubbing two drops of the nourishing hair finishing oil listed below between your palms and smoothing over any flyaways for a glossy, healthy sheen.
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.
