2. Section the lower third and underneath perimeter of the hair, then apply a semi-permanent pastel pink dye using the semi-permanent pastel pink hair color listed below to create a seamless ombre gradient toward the ends.
3. Cut the hair into a textured, collarbone-grazing lob with sliced, choppy interior layers and a shattered, wispy Birkin-style fringe across the brow.
4. Apply a lightweight smoothing cream and heat shield using the thermal heat protectant spray listed below, then rough dry with a blow dryer while tousling with your fingers.
5. Use a flat iron or 1-inch curling wand to insert subtle, effortless bends and kinks through the mid-lengths rather than polished curls.
6. Finish the look by misting through the crown and mid-lengths using the dry texturizing spray listed below, gently shaking the ends loose with your fingers for a lived-in, rock-and-roll finish.
Are you completely obsessed with high-contrast color pops like I am?! I just had to share this gorgeous icy platinum bob because that bright neon pink money piece adds the most playful, edgy twist to a classic cut! The way the face-framing layers wing outward at the cheekbones creates such a flattering frame for the face, don't you think? You can rock this super sleek and rounded under like shown here, or add some textured flat-iron waves for an effortless grunge vibe. It's bold, fresh, and guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go!
How to do this
1. Start by parting clean, towel-dried hair straight down the center to establish a balanced baseline for this geometric bob.
2. Section out the face-framing fringe and the perimeter underneath where you want the vivid contrast to sit, and apply a high-lift bleach using the bleach powder and developer kit listed below until lifted to a pale level 10.
3. Tone the main body of hair to an icy white with the violet toning shampoo listed below, while depositing a saturated hot pink direct dye onto the face-framing money piece sections.
4. Apply a dime-sized amount of the heat protectant blowout cream listed below throughout the damp strands from mid-lengths to ends.
5. Using the ceramic round blow dry brush listed below, blow-dry the hair in sections, rolling the ends inward toward the chin for that sleek, beveled curve.
6. Take the bright pink face-framing curtain pieces and blow-dry them upwards and outwards, curving the tips gently away from the eyes to create that signature winged flick.
7. Finish by misting with the lightweight shine and flexible hold hairspray listed below to keep every strand glassy and locked in place all day.
I'm totally obsessed with these dreamy, ethereal pastel tones blended into a silvery platinum base! The way the soft blush and lavender peek through the waves feels so romantic and fairy-like. My favorite way to wear this is loosely curled away from the face with soft curtain bangs framing the cheekbones—it instantly makes any outfit feel chic and magical.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, damp hair with the lightweight leave-in conditioner listed below to ensure your bleached strands stay hydrated and silky smooth.
2. Apply a dime-sized amount of the smoothing blowout cream listed below through your mid-lengths and ends before rough drying to about 80% dry.
3. Use a large round ceramic brush and blow dryer to smooth out the face-framing curtain bangs, directing them upward and back away from the face for that soft swoop.
4. Mist the heat protectant spray listed below evenly across all sections to protect the fragile pastel tones from hot tools.
5. Using the 1.25-inch curling iron listed below, take 2-inch vertical sections and wrap them outward away from your face, leaving the last inch of the ends slightly relaxed for an effortless, modern wave.
6. Once all waves have cooled completely, gently rake through them with your fingers to soften the curl pattern into loose ribbons.
7. Finish by applying a drop of the hair shine serum listed below over your palms and smoothing lightly over the surface, followed by a mist of the flexible hold hairspray listed below to lock in the romantic shape.
