How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, damp hair and prep with a lightweight volumizing mousse listed below, focusing on the roots to build that gorgeous crown height.
2. Mist through a heat protectant spray listed below from roots to ends before touching any hot tools to keep your silver strands super bright and healthy.
3. Using a small-to-medium ceramic round brush listed below and a blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle, lift sections upward at the crown and blow-dry against the natural fall to maximize lift.
4. Blow-dry the side-swept front bangs over to one side, curving the ends gently back and away from the face to create that soft, face-framing sweep.
5. For the side sections, direct the airflow downwards and curve the brush gently under towards the jawline for a tailored, tapered silhouette.
6. Emulsify a dime-sized amount of the lightweight styling paste listed below between your fingers, then piece out the ends and smooth down any unruly flyaways around the ears.
7. Lock in the volume and airy movement with a quick spritz of the flexible hold hairspray listed below all over.
Modern mullets and mixies have been everywhere lately, and this version with choppy micro bangs is the ultimate cool-girl statement. It gives you the best of both worlds—short, textured piecey layers on top with those cute little flared lengths at the nape. It’s effortless, edgy, and honestly so much fun to style with just a dab of matte paste!
How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, towel-dried hair and apply a quarter-sized amount of the lightweight styling prep cream listed below to add subtle grip and moisture.
2. Blow-dry the micro bangs forward flat against your forehead using a low-speed airflow and the small styling comb listed below, guiding the hair straight down with light tension to prevent cowlicks.
3. Use the ionic blow dryer with styling nozzle listed below to rough-dry the crown and back sections, using your fingers to lift the roots for natural volume and lift.
4. When drying the nape pieces, flick the ends outward slightly along the neck using your fingertips or a mini paddle brush to emphasize that classic modern mullet silhouette.
5. Warm a pea-sized amount of the matte texturizing hair paste listed below between your palms, then piece out the baby bangs and pinch the crown layers to create defined separation.
6. Finish the look by misting a light coat of the flexible hold finishing hairspray listed below all over to keep the piecey texture intact without feeling crunchy.
