3. Once the hair is fully dry, take random 1-inch pieces and use a flat iron to create subtle, alternating bends and jagged flicks rather than smooth curls.
4. Generously mist the dry texturizing spray listed below throughout the mid-lengths and root area, flipping your head back and forth to disperse the grit.
5. Work a small dime-sized amount of the matte styling wax listed below between your palms and pinch individual tips around your fringe and outer layers to define that signature piecey, razor-cut texture.
6. Finish with a spritz of the flexible hold hairspray listed below to keep the edgy rock-and-roll volume intact all night.
A chic, edgy silver bixie cut that brings all the volume and sophistication. I love how the feathered layers create instant lift at the crown while keeping the edges sleek around the jawline. Paired with a leather jacket, it’s giving confident rock-and-roll elegance without having to spend hours styling.
How to do this
1. Start on freshly washed, damp hair and prep with a lightweight volumizing mousse listed below, focusing on the roots to build that gorgeous crown height.
2. Mist through a heat protectant spray listed below from roots to ends before touching any hot tools to keep your silver strands super bright and healthy.
3. Using a small-to-medium ceramic round brush listed below and a blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle, lift sections upward at the crown and blow-dry against the natural fall to maximize lift.
4. Blow-dry the side-swept front bangs over to one side, curving the ends gently back and away from the face to create that soft, face-framing sweep.
5. For the side sections, direct the airflow downwards and curve the brush gently under towards the jawline for a tailored, tapered silhouette.
6. Emulsify a dime-sized amount of the lightweight styling paste listed below between your fingers, then piece out the ends and smooth down any unruly flyaways around the ears.
7. Lock in the volume and airy movement with a quick spritz of the flexible hold hairspray listed below all over.
The braided high ponytail. So edgy and cool! I love how the tight side braids give it a fierce rocker vibe while keeping all your hair securely pulled back. Perfect for concert nights or when you want your ponytail to have that extra punch of attitude.
How to do this
1. Prep dry, clean hair with a light texturizing spray using the dry texturizing spray listed below to give your strands extra grip and volume.
2. Section off the sides above the ears into two to three distinct diagonal parted rows using a fine-tooth rat tail comb.
3. Braid each side section into tight Dutch cornrows moving backward and upward toward the crown of your head, securing each with a tiny elastic.
4. Gather the remaining hair along with the ends of the side braids up into a high ponytail at the crown, securing firmly with a strong elastic.
5. Take a small 1-inch section of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around the base to conceal the elastic band, pinning it discreetly underneath with a bobby pin.
6. Use a 1.25-inch curling wand to add loose, undone bends through the ponytail lengths, then finger-comb to break them up into effortless waves.
7. Finish the entire style by misting with a flexible hold hairspray listed below to lock in the edge and keep flyaways controlled.
I am completely obsessed with this tapered curly cut!! The contrast between the closely shaved undercut along the temples and the full, bouncy crown of tight curls is just so fresh and stylish. It's the perfect way to show off your natural curl pattern while keeping things super lightweight, edgy, and effortlessly cool.
How to do this
1. Start by prepping cleanly washed, damp hair using the curl defining leave-in cream listed below to provide maximum slip and intense moisture.
2. Section out the longer top and crown curls, keeping the closely buzzed undercut sides neat and clean.
3. Apply a dollop of curl defining styling gel listed below in small sections, finger-coiling or shingling the curls to encourage bouncy spiral definition.
4. Allow a few curled pieces to fall naturally forward across your forehead to frame your face softly as baby bangs.
5. Attach a diffuser to your blow dryer using the universal hair diffuser attachment listed below on low speed and medium heat, gently cupping the curls upward without disturbing the pattern.
6. Once fully dry, massage a few drops of the nourishing lightweight hair oil listed below between your palms and gently scrunch the curls to break any gel cast, adding softness and luminous shine.
