Sulfate-Free Color Protecting Shampoo for Red and Copper Hair
The copper textured lob with fringe. Honestly, could there be a more perfect fall hairstyle? I love how the vibrant ginger tone pairs with soft, lived-in waves to feel effortless rather than overdone. It instantly frames the face and gives so much personality with minimal morning styling required.
How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, damp hair and prep with the heat protectant spray listed below to shield your copper color from heat damage.
2. Blow-dry the bangs first using a small round brush, directing them straight down and slightly inward to create that soft, separated wispy finish.
3. Apply a small amount of the lightweight volumizing mousse listed below to mid-lengths and ends, then rough dry or diffuse the rest of your hair to encourage natural movement.
4. Using the 1.25-inch curling iron listed below, take random 1- to 2-inch sections and wrap them loosely around the barrel for just a few seconds, leaving the ends straight for that relaxed, undone bend.
5. Alternate curl directions away from and toward the face to build natural volume and depth.
6. Once cooled, spray generously with the dry texturizing spray listed below and gently shake out the waves with your fingers.
7. Finish by pinching a tiny dab of the lightweight matte styling pomade listed below through the tips of your bangs and ends to lock in piecy separation.
This hairstyle is what I like to call the effortless French-girl lob. You start with a blunt collarbone cut that has just enough soft interior layering to give you plenty of bounce and movement. Blend in some wispy bottleneck bangs that frame your eyes and cheeks, wrap loose sections around a curling wand for easy undone waves, and finish with a hit of texture spray for that perfectly lived-in copper look.
How to do this
1. Prep damp, towel-dried hair with a lightweight styling mousse and a heat protectant spray using the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands and add initial volume.
2. Blow dry using a round ceramic brush, lifting at the roots to maximize natural body while directing your bangs forward and outward to establish a soft curtain bend.
3. Once completely dry, divide hair into manageable horizontal sections and use a 1.25-inch curling iron using the curling iron listed below to create effortless, loose S-waves, leaving about an inch of the ends straight for that relaxed, modern texture.
4. Lightly curl the curtain bangs away from the face just at the mid-lengths so they sweep gently across the cheekbones.
5. Allow curls to cool completely, then use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently break up the waves into a lived-in pattern.
6. Mist generously with a dry texturizing spray using the dry texturizing spray listed below at the roots and mid-lengths to boost separation and create airy fullness.
7. Finish by locking the style in place with a flexible hold hairspray using the flexible hold hairspray listed below so the movement stays soft and bouncy all day.
This look is all about romantic, vibrant energy. You start with rich copper layered lengths paired with soft, wispy bangs that dust right across the eyebrows. Give the ends a loose, bouncy curl while keeping the fringe smooth and light, and you have an effortless cottagecore-inspired vibe that feels completely timeless.
How to do this
1. Start with clean, damp hair and apply a generous mist of the heat protectant spray listed below to shield your strands and keep your vibrant copper color looking fresh.
2. Blow dry your bangs forward using a small round brush, rolling them slightly under and gently shaking them side-to-side to create that soft, eyebrow-skimming wispy fringe.
3. Rough-dry the rest of your hair until it is about 80% dry, then work through section by section with a large barrel round ceramic brush to build maximum volume and smooth out the cuticle.
4. Take 1.5-inch sections from mid-lengths to ends and wrap them around a large-barrel curling wand listed below, curling away from your face to form loose, bouncy waves.
5. Allow the curls to cool completely, then gently rake through them with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to soften the curls into cascading romantic waves.
6. Finish the look by smoothing a couple of drops of lightweight hair shine serum listed below through the ends to combat frizz, and set with a light-hold flexible hairspray.
