Short, Textured Bob Works best for: Thicker hair.
What to ask for: A short bob with razor-cut layers.

How-to: Spray on a volumizing product at the roots, then blow-dry the roots, using a round brush. Blow hair straight forward from the crown—don’t part it yet as you normally would—giving the roots lift and volume before sweeping the bangs to the side you prefer. Use a flat brush to blow the hair at the sides so it falls smoothly and sleekly.

Easy Swept-Back Hair

How-tos for this look: For a simple off-the-face sweep, start with a strong-hold setting spray at the roots. Blow hair straight back, raking fingers through hair to keep it piecey. Finish with a little wax to give hair definition: Apply a small amount to the fingertips of one hand, rub together with the opposite, and run though your hair.

Layered Bob

Works best for: Finer hair, especially with some natural texture.

What to ask for: Multiple layers that “round in” to create shape and movement.

How-to: Apply a strong-hold setting spray at the roots. Using a round brush, blow out hair, lifting it at the roots to create volume. With a 1¼-inch flat iron, work from the middle of the hair shafts down to flip up hair ends all around the head.

Tousled Pixie Cut

Works best for: Slightly wavy medium-fine hair.

What to ask for: Layers that are longer on top and not cut uniformly all around.

How-to: Even women with natural texture can sport a pixie if the cut works with their waves, as this haircut created by Cutler/Redken Salon’s David Kastin does. Here, the longer layers at the crown enhance the waves, so the style feels as effortless as it is: Simply muss the hair, lifting up at the roots with your fingers, as you blow-dry it. Smooth out the bangs with a flat brush, then apply a dab of matte paste to your hands, rub them together, and run though your hair for hold and definition.

Short and Sleek

  How-to: Part damp hair on one side above the arch of the eyebrow. Apply a dab of gelatine product and comb through around the head. Comb the sides straight back, and finish with a glossing spray to hold: a two-minute look that will work equally well after the beach or for an evening out.
