3. Rough-dry the rest of the hair with a diffuser or by finger-raking, using the nozzle directed downwards to enhance the natural feathered layers.
4. Once completely dry, take random 1-inch pieces around the crown and face frame and create subtle bends using the 1-inch flat iron listed below, alternating directions for a lived-in wave.
5. Spray the dry texturizing spray listed below generously from mid-lengths to ends, lifting sections to build separation.
6. Finish by emulsifying a pea-sized amount of the matte styling wax listed below between your fingertips and gently pinching the tips of your bangs and face-framing layers to define the choppy texture.
A classic textured lob paired with a bright, face-framing blonde money piece. I love cuts like this because you get the ease of shorter hair without losing the ability to throw in those effortless S-waves. It’s got that cool-girl, lived-in feel that works for literally everything from running errands to a sunny weekend hangout.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping towel-dried hair with a lightweight smoothing blowout cream using the styling cream listed below to add heat protection and slip.
2. Blow dry completely with a large round brush, directing the front strands away from the face to create soft bend and natural lift at the crown.
3. Divide hair into horizontal sections and mist with a heat protectant spray before using the 1.25-inch curling iron listed below.
4. Take 1- to 2-inch vertical sections and clamp the iron midway down, rotating away from the face while leaving the last inch of the ends straight for that chic, lived-in lob finish.
5. For the blonde money piece in the front, curl outward away from the cheekbones gently so it opens up the face without being too bouncy or tight.
6. Once the curls have completely cooled down, gently comb through using the wide-tooth detangling comb listed below to transform curls into loose, cohesive S-waves.
7. Spray a generous mist of the texturizing finishing spray listed below from mid-lengths to ends, scrunching lightly with your hands for airy definition and separation.
I am completely obsessed with this sharp, edgy take on a classic bob! The contrast between the rich dark brown base and those bold, bright blonde money pieces in the front just frames the jawline so effortlessly. It gives that perfect touch of 90s cool-girl energy without having to commit to bleaching your whole head!
How to do this
1. Start by sectioning off two symmetrical, one-inch wide panels right along the front hairline on either side of a clean center part.
2. Lighten these front sections using the bleach powder and developer lightening kit listed below, processing until you reach a clean pale blonde level.
3. Apply a neutral beige-blonde gloss to tone the front pieces using the hair toner and gloss listed below, while refreshing the rest of your hair with a deep espresso gloss.
4. Prep damp hair with a lightweight blow-dry smoothing lotion, then blow-dry smooth with a paddle brush directing the hair straight down.
5. Use a precision flat iron using the ceramic hair straightener listed below, beveling just the very ends slightly inward toward your jaw to frame the face.
6. Finish with a few drops of lightweight hair serum using the hair smoothing serum listed below to tame flyaways and enhance glossy shine.
Oh, the effortless, lived-in blonde bob! I mean, can we talk about this incredible texture? It gives the ultimate 'woke up like this' cool-girl energy. Have you ever tried chopping your hair into a choppy bob like this?
How to do this
1. Start by washing your hair with a lightweight volumizing shampoo and conditioner to build natural body without weighing strands down.
2. Towel-dry gently, then mist a damp strand heat protectant spray listed below all over from roots to ends.
3. Apply a golf-ball sized dollop of the texturizing mousse listed below through the roots and mid-lengths to give lift and grip.
4. Rough blow-dry using your fingers, flipping your head upside down halfway through to maximize root volume.
5. Use a small amount of the flexible styling paste listed below between your palms and work it through the ends to separate the layers and define that choppy, lived-in texture.
6. Finish with a generous spritz of the dry texturizing spray listed below at the crown and roots, then flip your hair into a dramatic, messy side part.
I love a good collarbone-skimming lob because it gives you all the ease of short hair while still leaving enough length to rock soft, effortless waves. Pairing a seamless shadow root with bright, creamy blonde balayage ribboned around the face keeps the look low-maintenance between salon visits while giving maximum brightness right where it counts.
How to do this
1. Prep towel-dried hair by lightly misting with the heat protectant spray listed below to shield strands and add a smooth base.
2. Blow-dry using a medium round boar-bristle brush, lifting at the roots to maintain natural body while smoothing the mid-lengths down.
3. Section the hair into top and bottom halves, then take 1.5-inch vertical sections using the 1.25-inch curling wand listed below.
4. Wrap each section around the barrel leaving about an inch of the ends straight and untouched for that modern, relaxed finish.
5. Alternate the curl direction away from the face to create natural separation, making sure the front face-framing strands sweep softly backward.
6. Once cooled, rake through the waves with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to break up any structured ringlets.
7. Shake in a generous burst of the texturizing volume spray listed below into the roots and mid-lengths, followed by a pea-sized amount of nourishing hair oil through the ends for shine.
