Four Hottest Hairstyles -- Which is Best for You?
Learn Hollywood Hairstyle How-tos Using Joico Hair Care Products
1. The Classic Bob
Try it! This cut is ideal for any hair type and texture. Hairstylists often recommend it for fine hair-it gives the appearance of extra body and fullness.
Style it! When it comes to the bob, the goal is maximum shine. Treat damp strands to a polishing formula like Joico K-PAK Protect & Shine Serum before drying. Blow dry with a small round brush, working with small sections. If you want a volume boost, switch to a larger brush for the sections on top of your head. For an even smoother finish, glide through strands with a styling iron like the K-PAK ReconstRx VaporIron. Mist with an ultra-fine holding spray like Design Collection Flexible Shaping Spray to banish flyaways and lock in sleek hold.
2. Controlled Curls
Embrace them! Naturally curly hair is sexy and lush if you take the time to define your beautiful texture and control frizz.
Style it! For healthy-looking, shiny curls, make friends with your blow dryer's diffuser attachment. Start by applying a frizz controlling formula like Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm (or Moisture Recovery Treatment Lotion if strands are fine) to damp hair. Tip your head forward and cradle your hair in the diffuser. Resist the temptation to pump the diffuser up and down--simply let the hair remain in the diffuser until curls take shape. Then restore your head upright and direct diffuser to the scalp area, using your fingers to encourage volume at the top. Most important? Don't rake through your curls with a comb, brush or your finger--you'll invite fuzz and frizz. Once your hair is dry, simply mist with a nourishing formula like K-PAK Protective Hairspray and let it be!
3. The Pixie Crop
Try it! This cut provides a beautiful frame for delicate facial features and exposes a long neck.
Style it! Forget combs and brushes--this style looks chicest if you finish it with your fingers! Simply apply a shape-enhancing styler like Design Collection Forming Polish or Pliable Paste to damp strands, and direct airflow from the dryer at the roots, pushing the hair around with your hands. Then direct it into the final shape and finish drying. Add a bit more of the styler with your fingers once hair is dry, pinching strands to encourage separation and definition.
4. Beach Waves
Try it! This look is ideal if you have natural curl or waves, or a texture that responds well to heat and irons. Skip it if your hair is baby fine or ultra-coarse and straight.
Style it! Encourage a natural, tousled, salt-and-sea effect by misting a formula like Design Collection Texture Spray With Seawater into barely-damp strands and air dry, scrunching hair with your hands. If your natural texture needs more encouragement, reach for a curling iron, or a flat iron with beveled edges, like the Joico K-PAK ReconstRx VaporIron, and set sections by spiraling vertical sections along the iron. Release, wait until hair is completely cool and then gently arrange strands with your fingers. Re-mist with the Texture Spray to encourage casual hold.
