01
Poolside Pretty

If you have relaxed hair, add a little Jane Carter Condition & Sculpt setting lotion and twist your hair in several two-strand twists from the hairline to the nape of the neck before taking a dip. Once you’re out of the water, let your hair air-dry before removing the twists.

Paul Sunday
02
Pretty Pony

Ponytails are instant glamorizers. The difference between the perfect ponytail and a “phony” tail is the texture and the color you select.

Carlo Dalla Chiesa
03
Keep It Simple

A layered bob allows more versatility in styling. Spritz Ellin LaVar Textures ThermaMist spray throughout the hair to protect it from the heat and add Ellin LaVar Textures InstantShine for a smooth finish.

Matthew Jordan Smith
04
Stay Smooth

Keep it simple and easy by razor cutting the crown and tapering the sides. Then wash and wrap the hair and apply Jane Carter Nourish & Shine on the sides and back for added shine.

Matthew Jordan Smith
05
A Bad Bang

Layered bangs were enhanced with a track for thickness and color. Use a ceramic flat iron to create this face framing finish.

Alex Beauchesne
06
The Midas Touch

Go for the gold with warm blond highlights that aren’t too brassy. This short bob works beautifully with Mizani Beyond-Conditioning Creme Permanent Haircolor in Lightest Warm Gold Blonde.

Fabrice Trombert
07
The Big Bounce

Achieve this look with a large curling iron or by setting hair on large rollers. A bodifying conditioner, like L’Oreal Professional Volume Extreme Conditioner, will give more bounce.

Adam Olszewski
08
Bob & Weave

Glamorous hair doesn’t have to be time-consuming—a long, basic bob can take you there. Wrap hair at night and undo it just before you’re ready to walk out the door. Style it with a rake comb or paddle brush. Use a large-barrel iron on a cool setting to create cute flips.

Fabrice Trombert
09
Well-Done Bun

Dress up your bun with a pretty satin headband or vintage barrette.

Fabrice Trombert
10
A Long Bob

Give lengthy tresses shape with a blunt cut. Sharp bangs instantly add life to simply styled hair. Use i/m Beauty Nylon Paddle Brush and dab on Soft & Beautiful Moisturizing Complex to keep flyaways grounded for good.
