This look is the ultimate fun, rock-and-roll curly shag with a subtle mullet vibe. It's cut with lots of playful, short layers on top and around the forehead to give you full, bouncy fringe, while leaving a little extra length at the back. Honey-golden highlights are painted directly onto individual ringlets so every spiral pops with bright dimension.
How to do this
1. Start on freshly cleansed, dripping wet curls after washing with a hydrating curl shampoo and conditioner.
2. Rake a generous amount of curl defining cream through all sections from roots to tips using the curl defining styling cream listed below to lock in essential moisture.
3. Apply a firm yet flexible hold gel using the curl defining styling gel listed below using the 'praying hands' method over the lengths to seal each ringlet cluster.
4. Use your fingers to twirl and define individual curls around the crown, fringe, and temples, setting the curly mullet shape in place.
5. Attach a universal diffuser to your blow dryer using the collapsible hair diffuser attachment listed below, and dry on medium heat and low speed, cupping curls upwards without touching them directly.
6. Once the hair is 100% dry and has a slight gel cast, warm a few drops of lightweight hair oil in your palms using the lightweight jojoba hair oil listed below and gently scrunch the crunch to reveal soft, springy, dimensional ringlets.
Oh, this lived-in golden balayage lob is just absolute perfection! Those bright, sun-kissed face-framing pieces catch the light so effortlessly. Seriously, how dreamy are these soft textured waves?
How to do this
1. Start by prepping damp, freshly washed hair with a lightweight heat protectant spray to shield against thermal damage and add softness.
2. Blow-dry using a round ceramic brush, lifting at the roots to build natural crown volume while keeping the ends relatively smooth and slightly turned under.
3. Once completely dry, take medium 1.5-inch vertical sections and wrap them loosely around a 1.25-inch curling wand, leaving the last inch of the ends out to maintain that modern, blunt silhouette.
4. Alternate the curl direction around your head, but ensure the face-framing pieces around the cheekbones are curled gently away from your face.
5. Let the bends cool completely, then mist hair generously with a dry texturizing spray and gently rake your fingers through to break up the waves into an effortless, lived-in bend.
6. Finish with a drop of nourishing hair oil smoothed over the ends to add shine and define the golden blonde balayage ribbons.
A collarbone lob like this is pretty much the ultimate sweet spot if you want something fresh without sacrificing styling options. I love how the soft layers flick right around the shoulders and frame the cheekbones so naturally. It gives that polished, "I just naturally woke up with gorgeous hair" vibe that works whether you're working from home in a tee or heading out for dinner.
How to do this
1. Start on damp, freshly washed hair and apply a quarter-sized amount of the lightweight heat protectant smoothing lotion listed below evenly from mid-lengths to ends.
2. Establish a neat center part using a fine-tooth tail comb, then section hair horizontally into manageable working quadrants.
3. Blow dry using a medium ceramic round brush listed below, lifting at the roots for gentle volume and rolling the brush outward at the ends to create a soft, bouncy flick.
4. For the front face-framing sections, roll the hair up and back away from the face with the round brush to encourage that signature curtain shape around the cheekbones.
5. Once fully dry, spray a light mist of the flexible hold texturizing spray listed below through the roots and mid-lengths to give movement without stiffness.
6. Finish off by rubbing two drops of the nourishing hair finishing oil listed below between your palms and smoothing over any flyaways for a glossy, healthy sheen.

Try this style out if you're looking for an easy, low-fuss haircut that always looks put-together!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping towel-dried hair with a lightweight styling mousse using the volume boosting hair mousse listed below to give body and soft texture.
2. Blow-dry the fringe forward using a small round brush or flat brush, gently sweeping it straight down so it sits lightly across the forehead without excessive volume.
3. Rough-dry the rest of the hair with your hands and a blow dryer to encourage its natural bend and texture.
4. Once completely dry, take random 1-to-2-inch vertical sections of hair and wrap them loosely around a styling wand using the 1.25 inch curling wand listed below, leaving the ends straight for that effortless, undone look.
5. Alternate the direction of each wave so the hair stays piecey and doesn't blend into uniform curls.
6. Mist mid-lengths and ends thoroughly using the dry texturizing spray listed below, gently shaking out the curls with your fingers to break up the shape.
7. Finish by rubbing a small drop of styling cream using the lightweight nourishing hair oil listed below between your palms and pinching the ends of your bangs and layers to define the texture.
Mushroom blonde is seriously having its moment, and this cool-toned textured lob proves why!

How to do this
1. Start by washing hair with a purple toning shampoo and a nourishing conditioner to keep cool ash tones crisp and banish brassiness.
2. On towel-dried hair, apply a dime-sized amount of the heat protectant blowout cream listed below throughout your mid-lengths and ends.
3. Blow dry using a large ceramic round brush, lifting at the roots for soft volume while smoothing the hair cuticle downward.
4. Take 1.5 to 2-inch vertical sections and loosely wrap the mid-lengths around a large barrel ceramic curling wand, leaving the last inch of the ends out for that relaxed, modern lob shape.
5. Alternate the curl direction away from the face, making sure the front face-framing pieces sweep gently outwards away from your eyes.
6. Once the curls have completely cooled down, gently comb through using the wide-tooth comb listed below to transform curls into effortless loose bends.
7. Finish the look by misting with the dry texturizing spray listed below at the roots and mid-shaft for lived-in fullness and airy separation.
