5. Smooth down any stray flyaways along the hairline and nape using the sleek edge control styling stick listed below.
6. Take a small half-inch strand of hair from underneath the ponytail, wrap it tightly around the hair tie to conceal it, and pin it underneath using a bobby pin.
7. Finish with a generous mist of the high-shine glossing finishing spray listed below across the tail for that ultra-reflective icy finish.
I’m totally obsessed with these double Dutch braids because they look effortlessly cool while keeping your hair completely out of your face all day long. Leaving a few soft tendrils out around the front softens the whole look and flatters any face shape instantly. It’s the ultimate go-to hairstyle for festivals, busy workout days, or when you just want a stylish way to wear day-two hair without any fuss!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, detangled hair with a smoothing serum and comb thoroughly using the wide-tooth detangling comb listed below.
2. Create a clean, straight center part from your forehead all the way down to the nape of your neck, dividing your hair into two equal halves.
3. Leave out a soft front section of hair on each side of the part around your temples to act as face-framing fringe.
4. Clip away one side and begin working on the other. Take a small three-strand triangle section at the front hairline to start your Dutch braid, crossing the outer strands under the middle strand instead of over.
5. Continue Dutch braiding firmly along the scalp towards the nape, adding small, equal sections of hair to each strand as you move down.
6. Once you reach the nape of the neck, transition into a standard three-strand braid underhand and secure the end with a small clear elastic band.
7. Repeat the exact same braiding process on the opposite side to keep both plaits symmetrical.
8. Gently pull and 'pancake' the loops of both braids to add full, thick volume, then mist lightly with the flexible hold hairspray listed below to keep flyaways tame.
There’s nothing quite like a bright, icy lob to make you feel completely unstoppable! I love how the undone texture and that effortless swooping fringe keep this bleach-and-tone look cool and relaxed rather than stiff.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, freshly washed hair with a lightweight heat-protectant spray to shield your bleached strands from high heat.
2. Apply a dollop of volumizing mousse through the roots and mid-lengths to give this lob maximum lift and body.
3. Blow-dry using a medium round ceramic brush, lifting at the crown to build airy height and smoothing out the ends.
4. Create a deep, casual side part, letting the front fringe sweep softly across the forehead and cheekbone.
5. Take a 1.25-inch curling iron or flat iron to add effortless, random bends throughout the mid-lengths, leaving the very ends straight for a modern, lived-in edge.
6. Shake out the waves with your fingers and mist generously with the dry texturizing spray listed below to separate layers and create that piecey, airy finish.
Oh, the ultimate rockstar shag haircut, how I love thee! The high-contrast icy white canopy with edgy black peekaboo layers underneath is such a killer vibe. Would you dare to rock this bold grunge look?
How to do this
1. Start by bleaching the main top canopy to a level 10 platinum blonde while keeping the underneath nape perimeter dyed jet black, neutralizing warm tones using the toning purple shampoo listed below.
2. Have your stylist cut a heavily textured modern shag or wolf cut lob, establishing choppy crown layers, feathered face-framing pieces, and long wispy bangs across the forehead.
3. Apply a small amount of the heat protectant spray listed below to damp hair before blow-drying.
4. Rough blow-dry using a paddle brush and hands, directing airflow upward at the roots around the crown to build maximum volume and messy separation.
5. Use a mini flat iron on the tips to flick out the bottom layers slightly, while keeping the bangs straight and piecey across the eyes.
6. Generously mist the dry texturizing spray listed below through the roots and mid-lengths to give that gritty, rock-and-roll lived-in volume.
7. Work a dime-sized amount of the matte styling paste listed below between your fingertips and pinch the ends to define individual wisps and face-framing strands.
Whenever you want that pure fairy-tale look, these soft icy platinum waves are seriously everything!! The sweeping side part gives it such an effortless, dreamy flow, and keeping the curls brushed out makes the whole style feel super light and romantic.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, clean hair with a heat protectant spray to protect fragile blonde strands from heat styling.
2. Blow dry the hair using a large ceramic round brush, focusing on lifting at the roots to create subtle volume and a soft side swoop.
3. Section the hair into 1- to 2-inch vertical sections and use a 1.25-inch curling iron to create loose, cascading waves by alternating directions.
4. Let the curls cool down completely so the wave pattern sets firmly in place.
5. Gently rake through the waves with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to soften them into smooth, dreamy ripples.
6. Apply a dime-sized amount of lightweight shine-enhancing hair serum through the mid-lengths and ends to eliminate flyaways and add a glossy finish.
7. Mist lightly with a flexible-hold hairspray to keep the waves bouncy and touchable all day.
