Plus, the wispy fringe frames your eyes in the prettiest way even on days when you just want to throw the rest in a messy topknot!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, freshly washed hair with a lightweight leave-in conditioner and the heat protectant spray listed below to shield bleached hair from heat styling.
2. Blow-dry the bangs first using a small paddle brush or round brush, sweeping them back and forth against the forehead to eliminate cowlicks and achieve that wispy, natural drape.
3. Rough-dry the rest of the lengths with a hair dryer and your fingers, lifting at the roots to encourage volume and natural texture.
4. Take random 1-to-2 inch vertical sections of the mid-lengths and quickly tap them with a flat iron or styling wand to create slight lived-in bends rather than uniform curls.
5. Shake your fingers through your hair to loosen up the waves and break up the separation.
6. Mist generously with the dry texturizing spray listed below through the mid-lengths and ends for that effortless, rock-and-roll fullness.
7. Finish by pinching a tiny amount of the matte styling wax listed below into the tips of your bangs and face-framing layers to give them that piecey, defined separation.
This look is honestly the holy grail of effortless chic hair! The soft bottleneck bangs frame the cheekbones so nicely, and the warm honey ribbons running through a deeper brunette base give it that dimensional, lived-in depth that grows out like an absolute dream. It's totally effortless, super flattering, and works on pretty much anyone wanting that classic cool-girl blowout vibe.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, freshly washed hair with a lightweight smoothing cream and the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands from thermal styling.
2. Rough dry your hair until it is about 80% dry, then separate out the fringe area to blow-dry first.
3. Using the ceramic round blow-dry brush listed below, roll the curtain bangs forward and under, then quickly flick them back and outward away from your face to give that relaxed, piecey bottleneck swoop.
4. Section the rest of the hair into top and bottom halves. Using a large round brush or the 1.25 inch curling iron listed below, wrap mid-length sections vertically away from the face, leaving the very ends somewhat straight for a lived-in texture.
5. Once all curls have cooled completely, gently rake through them with your fingers or a wide-tooth detangling comb to break up any structured ringlets.
6. Mist the dry texturizing spray listed below evenly through the roots and mid-lengths, gently scrunching upward to build soft, airy volume and separation.
7. Finish with a drop of the nourishing lightweight hair oil listed below rubbed into your palms and smoothed over the ends to add a glossy, healthy sheen.
