#5 Blonde Lob
Written by Sarah Nitz
The long bob is great on so many different beauties! It’s easy to style and can be worn casual or dressed up.
How To Style:
- While hair is still damp, apply a thickening cream or mousse. Comb through to ensure it is evenly applied from roots to ends.
- Blow dry hair in sections, pinning hair that is not being dried out of the way using clips.
- Bring sections down and smooth with a large round brush as you dry.
- If desired, finish this style with a flat iron set at the lowest heat setting for your hair type.
Recommended Products:
For finer hair, a volumizing product is a must. There are both creams and mousses, and it’s up to personal preference on what is best for you. My favorite cream to add volume is Kevin Murphy Full Again and Pravana NEVO Full Again is my favorite mousse.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Diamond, heart and round faces wear this style well. Hair that is finer in texture and thickness will achieve this look easily.

Susanne Dillge and Makeup Betty Mekonen for Goertz Hair, Braunschweig, Germany
How To Style:
- Apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair.

Pravana’s Super Shape Hairspray Extreme will keep hair in place all day (even through high winds), but is easy to wash out. It never gets sticky or builds up either!
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Diamond, oval, and heart shaped faces wear this well. Hair that is naturally curly makes it easiest to style, but straight to wavy hair that is medium to thick can work too.
Tip:
To make your straight hair easier to achieve curly looks, you may consider getting a perm. They are making a comeback and many stylists are experimenting with them to create natural looking curls. Check out stylists focusing on perms by searching with hashtags for your city and messaging them on Facebook or Instagram.

#13 Simple Elegance
Written by Irene Bredthauer
These thick, dramatic bangs make a bold statement and contrast beautifully with the medium length waves.
How To Style:

Recommended Products:
A light shine spray would be great to use on these gorgeous bangs! Try Flash Brilliance by Prive.
