I love how simple yet show-stopping this look is! A sharp center part and a snatched low pony or bun is always stunning, but adding silver glitter right along the front hairline totally takes it to the next level for festivals or New Year's Eve parties.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, dry hair with a smoothing serum and use a precision tail comb to carve out a super clean, razor-sharp center part right down the middle.
2. Smooth both sides flat against your head using a firm boar bristle brush listed below along with a generous amount of strong-hold edge styling gel.
3. Gather the hair tightly at the nape of the neck and secure it into a sleek low ponytail or neat chignon using a snag-free elastic band.
4. Tame any remaining flyaways using a strong-hold smoothing hair wax stick listed below to get that ultra-glassy, clean girl base.
5. Mix fine cosmetic silver craft glitter with clear hair styling gel or aloe vera gel in a small mixing dish.
6. Dip a flat synthetic makeup brush into the glitter gel mixture and paint a precise band directly along the front hairline, softly dusting remaining specks backward onto the crown.
7. Lock everything firmly into place with a generous mist of high-shine finishing hairspray so the glitter stays put all night long.
A copper shag is the ultimate statement cut if you love effortless drama. The feathered layers give so much natural bounce and volume, while the flipped-out neckline adds an ultra-cool vintage touch. If you want a cut that basically styles itself with a little texture spray, this lived-in bixie is your best friend.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, towel-dried hair with a lightweight volumizing mousse to provide hold and lift through the crown.
2. Blow-dry the bangs straight down with a small paddle brush using the ionic blow dryer listed below to keep them smooth and slightly rounded.
3. Use a medium ceramic round brush to dry the crown and side layers, lifting up and rolling backwards away from the face to create airy feathered movement.
4. When drying the nape section, use the round brush or your fingers to flick the ends outwards slightly along the neckline.
5. Use a small dab of the matte styling paste listed below between your palms and piece out individual feathered layers, pulling strands gently for texture.
6. Finish with a spritz of the dry texturizing spray listed below at the roots and through the layers to maintain effortless volume all day.
Channeling pure 90s grunge nostalgia with these adorable space buns! It takes literally five minutes to twist up, and pulling out a couple of soft tendrils around the front instantly softens the whole vibe. Perfect for festivals, arcade nights, or days when you want something fun and effortless!
How to do this
1. Start by parting your hair straight down the middle from the forehead to the nape of the neck using the tail comb listed below.
2. Before securing, pull out two soft, face-framing sections around both sides of your face to frame your jawline.
3. Gather each half of your hair into a high ponytail near the crown and secure loosely using the clear elastic hair ties listed below.
4. Twist each ponytail gently and coil it loosely around its base into a cute, rounded bun shape, pinning it in place using the bobby pins listed below.
5. Gently tug at the outer edges of the buns to give them that effortless, full, lived-in texture.
6. Mist all over with the flexible hold texturizing hairspray listed below to keep everything locked in place while maintaining movement.
A sharp blunt bob with bangs is the ultimate statement cut. It brings an instant edge and gives off major futuristic, sleek energy that looks effortlessly cool. If you want that ultra-glossy glass hair finish, running a flat iron down in micro-sections and locking it in with a mist of shine spray makes all the difference.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping clean, damp hair with the lightweight thermal smoothing serum listed below to guard against heat damage and fight frizz.
2. Blow-dry the hair completely smooth using a concentrator nozzle and the ceramic paddle brush listed below, directing the airflow downward from roots to ends.
3. Use a fine-tooth tail comb to cleanly section off the fringe right across the brow line, keeping the perimeter precise and blunt.
4. Take small, paper-thin sections around the rest of the head and glide through each section with the titanium flat iron listed below at a steady, controlled pace to achieve a pin-straight glass finish.
5. Slightly curve the ends just barely inward to hug the jawline smoothly rather than flaring outwards.
6. Finish the entire style by misting the high-gloss shine spray listed below across the lengths for a sleek, futuristic mirror sheen.
