To keep curls defined and bouncy, use DevaCurl SuperCream and a diffuser when blow-drying. A curl refresher like Ouidad Botanical Boost will help maintain the volume and shape throughout the day.
Blunt Bob with Curtain Bangs
The blunt bob with curtain bangs is a modern classic, combining the sharpness of a blunt cut with the softness of long bangs that frame the face. This cut works particularly well for those with medium length or thinner hair, as the blunt ends create the illusion of fullness. The curtain bangs add a soft, youthful frame to the face, making it ideal for women of all ages.
For a sleek finish, use L’Oreal Blow Dry It Thermal Smoother and finish with TIGI Bed Head After Party to smooth any flyaways. For curtain bangs, use a round brush when blow-drying to achieve the perfect swoop.
Tousled Lob with Beachy Waves
A tousled lob with beachy waves is the epitome of laid-back, youthful style. This look is ideal for those with medium to long hair who want a casual yet chic look. The tousled texture adds movement, while the lob length is perfect for those looking for something in between short and long.
To achieve the beachy waves, use Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray and finish with Herbal Essences Bio Volume Airspray for a lightweight hold. Use a curling wand to create loose, effortless waves.
Classic Bob with Tapered Ends
The classic bob with tapered ends is a timeless haircut that adds a subtle edge while keeping things polished. The tapered ends soften the bluntness of the traditional bob, giving it a more contemporary, youthful vibe. This haircut is perfect for women with thinner or medium length hair, as the tapered ends create an illusion of fuller, more voluminous locks. It suits almost all face shapes, particularly round or oval faces, as the tapering helps elongate the features.
To keep your bob sleek and polished, use Kérastase Discipline Blow-Dry Smoothing Cream before styling. A lightweight finishing oil like Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil can add shine and prevent frizz, ensuring your bob looks chic all day long.
Long Layers with Subtle Balayage
For those who want to maintain their long hair but still want a youthful refresh, long layers with subtle balayage are the best choice. The layers create movement and volume, preventing long hair from looking flat or heavy. The balayage, with its natural sun-kissed highlights, adds depth and dimension, making the hair appear thicker and healthier. This style works particularly well for women with thinner or midlength hair looking for a low-maintenance yet stylish look.
To keep the balayage vibrant and prevent brassiness, use Redken Color Extend Blondage Shampoo. For styling, apply Living Proof Full Thickening Cream to add body and volume without weighing down your layers.
Short Shag with Messy Texture
A short shag with messy texture is one of the trendiest cuts for 2024, offering a fun, youthful look for those ready to embrace an edgier style. This cut is characterized by its choppy layers and undone, messy finish. The shag works great for thinner hair, adding texture and volume, and it’s ideal for those with curly or wavy hair, as it enhances natural movement. It’s a low-maintenance cut that gives off a cool, carefree vibe, making it perfect for those with a round face or oval face.
To keep the messy texture in place, use Ouai Matte Pomade for definition and Batiste Dry Shampoo to add texture and volume on non-wash days. A salt spray like Not Your Mother’s Sea Salt Spray will help you achieve that perfectly undone look.
Sleek Lob with Deep Side Part
The sleek lob with a deep side part is a sophisticated and polished look that can make anyone appear instantly more youthful. The lob length is perfect for those who want something medium length yet versatile. The deep side part adds drama and shifts focus to the eyes, enhancing your features. This cut works well for women with thinner hair as it adds volume at the roots, creating the illusion of fuller hair.
